I am here to help you hear yourself, understand what is happening to you, regain your inner footing and see the possibilities that are now hidden behind anxiety, pain or confusion. Whatever situation you come with, we will not be looking for someone else's ready answer, but for your own decision — the one where real change begins. - [Book a consultation](https://manasiway.com/en/booking/) - [Message on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/77025360139) - Sessions in Russian · online, and in person in Almaty - Sessions are confidential - Over 5,000 consultations - Adults and couples ## What I work with I choose the method to fit what you bring — rather than fitting what you bring to a favourite method.

We leave with a map and a next step. ### A goal you can verify Not “feel calmer” but observable signs: “I fall asleep within half an hour, without my phone”, “conversations about money no longer end in a fight”. A goal like that depends on your actions — and shows progress. ### Progress reviewed in everyday life Between sessions you try the steps we agreed on. We review what actually changed in ordinary days — and change course openly if something stops working. [Book a consultation](https://manasiway.com/en/booking/) ## Free tests — where to start Start with a free self-check test — for yourself, for you as a couple, or for your relationship with your child. 18–20 questions, about five minutes, an instant result — and no diagnosis. Answers are processed in your browser only: they are never sent to the site and they disappear when you refresh the page. Test for yourself ### Anxiety level Shows how often anxiety gets in the way of your sleep, body and decisions, and whether it is worth discussing with a specialist. - 5 minutes - 18 questions [Take the test](https://manasiway.com/en/tests/anxiety-level/) Test for couples ### Do you hear each other? Shows where the conversation between you breaks off and what most often sets off the cycle of an argument. - 5 minutes - 18 questions [Take the test](https://manasiway.com/en/tests/hearing-each-other/) Test for your child ### Do you hear your child? Shows how easy it is for your child to talk to you right now, and where the connection has worn thin. - 5 minutes - 20 questions [Take the test](https://manasiway.com/en/tests/hearing-your-child/) [All tests](https://manasiway.com/en/tests/) ## Useful articles Explainers on common questions: what is going on and what to do about it. Each article takes a few minutes to read and draws on research where it exists. It doesn't replace a consultation, but it is a good way to make sense of things yourself. - Anxiety and panic attacks — [Panic attack: what to do](https://manasiway.com/en/articles/panic-attack-what-to-do/) — What happens in the body during an attack and what to do while it lasts. - Family and relationships — [Why couples argue in circles](https://manasiway.com/en/articles/why-couples-argue-in-circles/) — A repeating argument has a script, and the script is stronger than any trigger. - Modern life — [Phone and doomscrolling](https://manasiway.com/en/articles/phone-and-doomscrolling/) — Why it is so sticky, an honest self-test and what works against the feed.

Review 1 Review 2 Review 3 [All reviews](https://manasiway.com/en/reviews/) ## Diplomas and certificates More than twenty years of practice rest on verifiable education: a psychology degree and years of specialisation since. Swipe through the row — tapping opens a document at full size. The documents are in Russian. Analytical psychology, 120 h — 2012 Psychotherapy and clinical psychology, 30 h — 2026 Degree in Psychology, with distinction — 2009 MAAP (Moscow Association for Analytical Psychology): psychology and psychotherapy of complexes, 30 h — 2007 ORAP (Society for the Development of Analytical Psychology, Almaty): neuropsychology of psychosomatic illness ## Frequently asked questions **Where do I start?** Write a couple of lines about your situation on WhatsApp. I'll suggest a time for the first meeting and tell you which format fits: individual therapy, couples and family therapy, a meeting for the parents, or hypnotherapy. **Online or in person?** Both formats follow the same logic: in person in Almaty, or online. We choose based on what you want to work on and what suits you. **How much does it cost, and how many sessions will I need?** Individual consultation — 1 hour, €80, or 2 hours, €135. A couples session and a hypnotherapy session — up to 120 minutes, €135. A child session — 50 minutes, €60. Payment: Kaspi (including Kaspi Red instalments), bank card, bank transfer. Prices for consultations and hypnotherapy are open — on the prices page, there is no “price on request”. In my experience, three to five sessions are most often enough; I can say more precisely after the first one. **Is it confidential?** Yes. 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. **Will there be hypnosis in a consultation?** Only by agreement and when it fits the task. The method, the fears around it and the contraindications are covered on a separate page about hypnotherapy. **What if you're not the right fit for me?** That happens, and it's fine: the fit with a therapist is personal. Tell me directly or just message me after the session, and I'll suggest what kind of specialist to look for — no hard feelings, no pressure to stay. [Book a consultation](https://manasiway.com/en/booking/) ## 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. ## Let's start with a clear conversation If you want to understand which format fits your situation, book a first consultation. We'll go through the situation calmly, put a goal into words, and decide whether it makes sense to keep working together. - [Choose a format and book](https://manasiway.com/en/booking/) - [See prices](https://manasiway.com/en/prices/) - a consultation does not replace medical care - confidential ## See also - [Prices and payment](https://manasiway.com/en/prices/) — session cost and ways to pay from Kazakhstan and abroad - [About me](https://manasiway.com/en/about/) — education, diplomas and how I work --- HTML version: https://manasiway.com/en/ · Booking: https://manasiway.com/en/booking/ · WhatsApp: https://wa.me/77025360139 · Telegram: https://t.me/Lyudmila_manasiway
