About the psychologist Elena Banshikova
How I work
I know we're all wired differently. And that there are no rules.
I know everyone has their own pain and things they can't talk about.
I know no one is to blame.
And I know there are stories that can't be put to bed and left behind.
I don't need to tell you how it was or what you feel.
I don't need to. I feel it without words.
And I'm ready to be "there" with you, "watching" it and waiting for the solution, the liberation, to find you.
My professional principle is not to interfere.
Not to interfere with your life, but to support it.
To support what others have rejected and ignored.
So that you are whole, strong, and confident.

I don't give advice or recommendations.
Why?
Each of us is unique, with a unique inner world and a unique family structure.
And what works for one person will be ineffective and possibly harmful for another.
The only useful thing I can do for you is to give you a better sense of self-understanding.
Help you gain greater connection with what's inside you.
Unravel and put in place what has become an obstacle to your future life.
And then you won't need other people's advice.
It turns out the answers to the questions: "What's best for me?" and "How can I do this?" are within us.
We just need to help you hear yourself. Feel yourself.
Why don't others give you the opportunity to feel yourself?
Because they don't want to face pain.
And for me, your pain is my job.
