Dalida is a psychologist with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and is currently completing a Master’s degree. She is undergoing professional training in gestalt therapy at the International Gestalt Institute (MIG). She has over 200 hours of experience working with clients in long-term therapeutic processes, focusing on emotional challenges, relational patterns, anxiety, and identity-related concerns. Her approach is attentive and reflective, creating a safe space for clients to explore complex and ambivalent experiences. She works primarily with adults seeking support in understanding their emotions, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. All sessions are conducted online in Russian.

I work from a gestalt therapy framework, focusing on present-moment experience and the relationship between a client and their environment. My approach is reflective and attentive, creating a safe space to explore emotions, relational patterns, and internal conflicts at your own pace. I integrate principles from contemporary psychological research and emphasize awareness, contact, and self-exploration. Sessions are collaborative, with attention to both experiences and emerging patterns, supporting insight and self-understanding.

My academic background in psychology began with a Bachelor’s degree at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic, where I received foundational training in psychological theory, research, and applied practice. This education shaped my interest in relational and experiential approaches to psychotherapy.

I am currently completing my Master’s degree in psychology at Charles University in Prague, further developing my clinical thinking and professional competencies. Alongside my academic studies, I am undergoing professional training in gestalt therapy at the International Gestalt Institute (MIG), which provides an experiential and practice-oriented framework for my therapeutic work.

My education is supported by ongoing supervision and continuous professional development.

I started therapy with compulsive thoughts and rituals that strongly interfered with my daily life. Over time, the rituals have decreased, and I have begun understanding the reasons behind my behaviors. I now relate to myself with more understanding and compassion.

I came to therapy during a depressive episode, struggling after a breakup and having difficulty caring for myself. By the end of therapy, I regained control over my life, completed my thesis with distinction, and began planning my future with more optimism.

I came to therapy struggling with almost constant anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and panic attacks. Now, I feel anxious only in situationally justified moments, have let go of feeling responsible for the lives of others, and have become kinder to myself. I also take time for hobbies and physical health.
