Yuliia Hurina
Psychological and psychosexual supportComprehensive sexuality education

I am Yuliia Hurina, a psychologist, sexologist, family therapist and emotional-imagery therapist. I have worked in psychology for more than 10 years and have held over 3,000 consultations in that time. In my work I combine current knowledge of psychology, sexology, psychological trauma and neuropsychology with emotional-imagery, body-oriented, art and family therapy. I work with self-worth, relationships, personal boundaries, family scripts, traumatic experience, crises and sexuality. Working with couples and families holds a special place in my practice: I help people restore contact, understand each other better and get through difficult periods together. Today I continue to work actively with families, paying particular attention to the families of service members and the challenges they face. What matters to me is not simply treating a symptom, but exploring together with the person what lies behind it and what they truly need. I do not believe in universal recipes: every person has their own story, their own experience and their own pace of change. So in therapy I create a space where you can be yourself, talk about what is hard and gradually regain your footing. For me, psychology is not about becoming the "right" kind of person, but about the chance to understand yourself better and start living a life that is more your own.
