TRAUMA THERAPIST &

ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY ADVISOR

YOUR JOURNEY TO YOURSELF
BEGINS HERE

MAKING SENSE OF YOUR STORY, YOUR WORK, YOUR LIFE

Hello, I am Ksenia.

I am a trauma-informed therapist and psychology researcher based in Barcelona, working in English and Russian with expats, digital nomads, and people worldwide.

I also work with work teams and leaders to develop emotional resilience in high-pressure environments.

If you feel:

tired of holding yourself together
disconnected from your body or your life
ashamed of things that were not your fault
functional, but empty
strong, but exhausted

You are not broken.
Something in you adapted to survive.

who i work with

Individuals

I work with adults who experience:

trauma and post-traumatic adaptations
shame, guilt, loss of dignity
emotional numbness or overload
identity confusion after major life events
adult children of addicted or emotionally unavailable parents
neurodivergent adults
grief, transitions, divorce
integration after intense experiences (including psychedelic experiences)

I offer a safe, grounded space where your experience is not minimized or rushed.

Teams & Organisations

I also work with work teams and professionals:

psychological safety
communication and conflict as a constructive process
emotionally grounded decisions & resilience
how to stay regulated during decision-making
tension without escalation
how to sustain focus long enough to complete complex tasks

This work supports long-term cooperation, workshops and retreats.

Why Do I do This Work?

” I serve people because I’ve been through big changes myself – moving between countries, finding my identity, and
healing from the past. I know what it means to rebuild a self and to reshape systems,
and I hold deep respect for both. I help people make sense of themselves, and teams and
products stay connected to real human needs. I do this work because I
believe both people and systems can grow and become more honest, kind, and
alive. Let’s work together to create a life that you love. “

Big part of my work are people who survived sexual violence

This work is slow, respectful, and consent-based.

We focus on:

restoring bodily boundaries
reconnecting with dignity
separating your identity from what happened
rebuilding trust — with yourself first

You do not need to explain or justify your pain.

We will work with:

mind
body
emotional memory
narrative identity

I help you reclaim authorship of your life.

No matter how messy things may seem,
you don’t have to go through it alone.

My change would not have been possible without therapy with K.

Julia - 26-05-2025

We’ve been making amazing progress, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how things are moving forward! Can’t wait to see what’s life brings me!

The way you put things all together is more help and ideas than I have gotten from anyone in the lest 4 years. Thank you.

I began weekly sessions with Ksenia after working with another therapist for three years. Honestly, I came in pretty pragmatic, thinking there wasn’t much left to uncover about myself. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Through our work together, I started to see blind spots I’d never noticed before. My relationships with my family began to shift and improve, and—somehow—even my income grew. I think I’ve simply become a more pleasant person to be around.

Pleasant working with you Ksenia. A few months later I am still digesting the hike you took me on. A lot to think about.

Dani - 05-01-2025

Definitely, with your therapy I finished assimilating things that I had been working on for a long time in therapy and despite everything, I continued to suffer from them without finishing closing them properly. I never thought that the fusion of both things would be so fast, since I have been with the therapist for 6 years and I have made a lot of progress, but weeks before your therapy I felt stuck, I even began to think that perhaps I have been looking inward for too many years and I needed a change.

I want to say a big thank you to Ksenia. She helped me calm down in a difficult situation, and even more – I was able to bring out important thoughts and move towards solving the problem

Luis - 14-10-2024

My change has started with therapy and microdosing protocol. Relations with the partner improved too!

I did a hiking session with Ksenia about four months ago with follow up, and at the time, it felt really overwhelming. I was lucky to get a few months off work to figure out my life. Now, looking back, I realize that working with her was the best choice I made. She helped me see my resources, skills, and strengths- and helped me grow my faith in myself. Now i am at the moment of my life where I am opening my own business. Took me a while to get here.

To my own surprise, during sessions, I was able to voice events from my past that were very traumatic and dark, which I had never been able to share with anyone before. This process has helped me feel more like myself and more courageous. Additionally, I’ve gained confidence in my relationships with others. Her supportive and understanding approach made it possible for me to open up in ways I never thought I could.v

Myriam - 29-07-2024

I worked with Ksenia for almost six months, and she was incredibly helpful in identifying my trauma and addictions. She guided me in understanding myself better and helped me distinguish what was truly mine from external influences. I’ve decided to take a break from our sessions to travel for a few months, but I can see myself coming back to her for support in the future. Highly recommend her for anyone seeking clarity and personal growth.

I did the hiking with psychologist, I recommend it!

When I reached out to Ksenia I was going through some significant life changes and was struggling to find footing. In the intervening period I managed to find some direction through taking a bit of distance and with the help of some conversations with friends. I was feeling quite focussed and clear when I began my protocol with Ksenia. Then when the actual work it seemed to elevate me to an even higher level of clarity and focus.

I am an amateur athlete and monitor my heart rate and other health data via my smartwatch. This period with Ksenia saw my heart rate variability (which is used as a proxy for stress) improve drastically. I was happy to share this with Ksenia and she was very excited about it. This is a level of engagement that I had never experienced with a therapist before.

Ksenia was always available for me and it felt like this was not just a job for her. She made me feel heard with her compassion and patience. Her expertise helped me navigate through the complex emotions and difficult decisions that I was facing. I am very grateful to have had her support

Manal - 17-04-2024

Ksenia’s sessions helped me navigate the different layers of my identity and how they show up in my life. If you are ready to delve a bit deeper into yourself, she will for sure support you in finding clarity, understanding your inner roadmap and making peace with your mind.

После нескольких сессий с Ксенией в моём состоянии появился лёгкий прогресс. Я начал делать упражнения, которым она меня научила, и вижу местами, появляется просвет. Более менее есть движение вперёд. Я буду на связи, если мне нужна будет дополнительная помощь.

Ответ Ксении:

Пусть всё получается! Новые навыки самоценности, самоуважения и самоуверенности увеличиваются с каждым днём!

Good day. I would like to share that after the session it was the first time I actually slept relaxed & well. I would say since a few months ago. I just slept as a healthy human being. And I did not take any meds. I feel good in my heart. I feel it all and I feel well. Not euphoric, just well. I wanted to share, and I feel grateful. Being is cool.

Roberto - 19-10-2023

I had been living my life on autopilot for years until I connected with Ksenia. With her guidance and expertise, I delved into the darkest corners of my mind and confronted the demons I had been hiding for most of my adult life. Thanks to Ksenia’s methods and her uplifting personality, I have rediscovered my path. For that, I will be forever grateful. Obrigado.

Ann - 05-08-2023

“Мне понравился специалист, было одно, что я до этого не слышала от других психологов, хотя думала что нового уже ничего не услышу. Это в какой то степени мне помогло. Благодарна Ксении Юрьевне за консультацию.”

Tarana Suri - 21-08-2023

“Ksenia is an emphatic sensitive and caring person who thinks deeply and feels strongly. Her passion for understanding the human psyche is unbound and trust you are in good hands.”

Valentina Fratu - 27-08-2023

“I went to the deepest holes of myself with Ksenia to discover my wholeness. Inner resources that we found with her in darkness of subconsciuosness will stay with me forever. She is open, very sensitive not only to psycological, emotional state of a person, but also reads and communictes through the wisdom of the body. Something wider is opening up in sessions with her. My gratitude”

Mack - 22-08-2023

“Ksenia is an incredible person and psychologist, she has opened up a whole new world where I am beginning to start truly enjoying, living and loving my life. She has such a great view on life and has great intuition, allowing her to truly engage with you and help you realize many things that are going on in your subconcious- where we avoid exploring into because of daily life. Integrating her wisdom into my life has facilitated my growth, through EMDR and Family Contesllations. (I previously didnt believe in this field as much as I do now). Thanks so much Ksenia.”
