The name of the service fills itself into the message. I usually reply within a day (Almaty time); I don't read messages around the clock. During sessions my phone is off, so I may not reply right away. If you haven't heard back within a day, please write again — the message may have got lost. ### We agree a time Times are agreed individually: you write the days and hours that suit you, and I reply with what is free. All times I offer are Almaty time (UTC+5, no daylight saving). ### Prepayment A booking is confirmed by prepayment: online sessions are paid in full when you book; for an in-person session in Almaty you pay a 10,000 ₸ deposit when you book and the rest on the day; rescheduling is free if you let me know at least 24 hours in advance. ### Confirmation Once the payment is confirmed, the booking is confirmed too: for an online session I send the meeting link the day before, for an in-person one the address — Almaty, Karpinskogo 15/1. If you feel very bad right now and are having thoughts of harming yourself, don't wait for an appointment. In Kazakhstan: [112](tel:112) or [103](tel:103) for emergency help, and [1303](tel:1303), a free round-the-clock psychological helpline (Almaty). If you are abroad, call your local emergency number — 112 across the EU; US: 911 or 988 · UK: 999 or 112. **Working rules and safety** A short set of rules the work is built on. They are the same for every format and do not change from session to session. - Sessions are held in Russian. If you are not sure your Russian is enough for a conversation about personal matters, message me before paying. - What is said in our sessions stays between us. The exceptions are a direct threat to life (yours or someone else's) and cases where the law requires disclosure; I explain these limits at the first meeting. - I am a psychologist, not a doctor: I do not make medical diagnoses and do not prescribe medication. If I see that you need a doctor, I say so plainly and help you find your bearings. - The work depends on honesty: when you tell me about your health and any medication you take, say it as it is. Before we start, I will ask about the health and medication details that matter for your safety. If this is hard to talk about, tell me — we will discuss what I need to know and why. - Come to the session sober. If a person arrives intoxicated, the session does not take place and the payment for that day is not returned. ## Payment and rescheduling Online sessions are paid in full when you book; for an in-person session in Almaty you pay a 10,000 ₸ deposit when you book and the rest on the day. Rescheduling is free if you let me know at least 24 hours in advance.
