Services and prices

Prices below are in euros for payment from abroad. If you pay in Kazakhstan (Kaspi or a local card), the price is in tenge: 1 hour — 40,000 ₸; 2 hours, couples and hypnotherapy — 70,000 ₸; child and parents' sessions — 30,000 ₸.

Individual consultation

A conversation about your situation and what you want to change. By the end of the hour we have a rough map of the situation and a first step to try before the next meeting. Online, or in person in Almaty.

€801 hour

All formats and terms

Extended consultation

For when the whole situation needs to be worked through in one go: more time for the map, the exercises and the plan. The same format as the one-hour consultation, but without the hurry.

€1352 hours

All formats and terms

Couples or family consultation

Come together — or start on your own. Both of you speak, in turn and without interruption; we work through arguments that repeat, growing distance and decisions about the future. Small agreed steps between sessions.

€135up to 120 minutes

All formats and terms

Child consultation

The format follows the age of the child: play, drawing, conversation. The work always starts with a meeting for the parents, and the limits of confidentiality are explained in advance.

€6050 minutes

All formats and terms

Parents' meeting without the child

A conversation about what is happening with your child and what to do at home. It is where the work with a child begins, and it can also be taken on its own.

€6050 minutes

All formats and terms

Hypnotherapy session

Three parts: the conversation and the goal, the descent into focused relaxation, and the return with a debrief. You hear me throughout and can stop the process at any moment. Contraindications are discussed before booking.

Cancellation and rescheduling

  • rescheduling is free if you let me know at least 24 hours in advance — the session is not counted as used
  • being late does not extend the session: we finish at the agreed time
  • if you are more than 20 minutes late without letting me know, the session counts as missed
  • if I cancel a session, you choose between a refund and a new time

If you feel very bad right now and are having thoughts of harming yourself, don't wait for an appointment. In Kazakhstan: 112 or 103 for emergency help, and 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.

Questions about payment

Are the prices in the table final?

Yes. Every service in the table has a fixed price; if a price hasn't been set yet, the service isn't listed.

Can someone else pay for me?

Yes. A parent, a partner or an employer can pay. What is said in the sessions stays between me and the client.

How do I pay from outside Kazakhstan?

We'll agree a method for your country in messages. Prices for payment from abroad are fixed in euros.
