Psychologist
Anastasia Kanunnikova
Behind almost any concern — anxiety, exhaustion, difficulties in relationships — there is usually something deeper: the particular way a person has learned to be with themselves and with others. Not always obvious. Not always named.
My work is to create a space where this can be not just talked about, but explored.
What matters most in this process, I believe, is not becoming a different person — but meeting yourself as you truly are: your desires, your conflicts, your fears.
I am a psychologist and a candidate member of the Society of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I work with depth, without ready-made answers, paying attention to what usually stays in the shadows.

For me, psychology is a space where scientific knowledge meets the human soul, where reason meets lived experience. My clients are not "symptoms" — they are people searching for their way back to themselves. Sometimes for the first time. Sometimes cautiously. Sometimes through pain. But this is exactly what therapy is about: rediscovering yourself, finding an inner ground to stand on, and allowing yourself more freedom.
What We Can Explore :
- Finding oneself, meaning, and ground— A sense of being lost, a lack of clarity about what one wants — and a desire to find an inner sense of direction.
- Life transitions and personal crises— Divorce, relocation, a change of career or role, milestone birthdays. Moments when the familiar ground shifts.
- Loneliness— Difficulty with closeness, a feeling of being unseen or not quite accepted — even by those nearby.
- Repeating patterns in relationships— When relationships seem to follow the same painful script, again and again.
- Anxiety and self-doubt— Persistent uncertainty, inner tension, fear of not coping or not measuring up.
- Low self-worth and difficulty allowing yourself pleasure— Trouble accepting oneself, a sense of never being quite enough — and a habit of dismissing one's own needs or right to joy.
- Perfectionism and the inner critic— The inability to rest, relentless self-demand, shame around mistakes and perceived failure.
“
There is something that becomes possible only in the presence of another — one who listens without an agenda. A chance to finally hear oneself. There are no ready answers here. Instead, something else opens up: an honest encounter with one's own feelings, a loosening of habitual masks, and the quiet courage to be alive as one actually is.

In my work, I draw on the psychoanalytic method. Rather than addressing a problem head-on, we move deeper into it — looking at what lies behind a particular difficulty: which reactions, feelings, and ways of coping keep repeating, where they came from, and why they've remained so persistent.
In this approach, the relationship with the therapist also plays an important role. It often reflects how you experience relationships in your life more broadly, and this too becomes material for the work.
This kind of work takes time and doesn't offer quick, one-size-fits-all solutions — but it allows for changes that go beyond the specific situation at hand, touching how you relate to yourself as a whole.

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
- We begin with a few introductory sessions — this is standard practice within the psychoanalytic approach. During this stage, we work together to clarify what's bringing you to therapy, get a sense of one another, and you can decide whether this way of working feels right for you.
From there, therapy takes shape as a regular, ongoing process — usually once or twice a week, at the same time each week. This isn't a one-off intervention, nor work aimed at a result by a set deadline — it's more of a space that unfolds gradually, at its own pace, where change doesn't happen all at once but accumulates over time.

В мире избытка чужих определений психотерапия дает не готовые ответы, а живой опыт самопонимания, который превращается во внутреннюю опору.
Идеальная личность - это не та, что достигла раз и навсегда заданного состояния, а такой психологический конструкт, который умеет использовать каждое событие внешней жизни для своего роста и развития.
В психотерапии, особенно если мы говорим о психоаналитическом подходе, слова значат не совсем то, к чему мы привыкли в обычной жизни. Здесь они теряют свою привычную прозрачность и обретают глубину.
