Getting acquainted

Hi, my name is Oleksandr.

I am a psychologist. If we drop the formalities, I'm someone who helps untangle knots of thoughts and feelings through the art of writing.

My work is to create a safe, quiet space where you can see your own thoughts clearly — perhaps for the first time in a while.

What do I do?

I help you find language for what's happening inside. No lofty jargon, no moralising, no pressure to respond before you're ready.

We take your specific situation, your stuck point, your quiet ache — and we work with it in writing. Patiently. Honestly. With care.

I won't rush you or dissect you. I'll respond thoughtfully, word by word, human to human.

Oleksandr, online psychologist
How does it work? Thoughtfully.

I believe healing begins with an honest exchange of words. That's why our whole process happens in writing: it gives you time to reflect, space to be vulnerable without being seen, and the chance to find the exact words for what you feel.

  1. 01

    Step 1. The first exchange (free)

    What is it? This isn’t a live chat or instant back-and-forth. It’s one thoughtful written exchange. You take your time, write to me about what’s on your mind, and I’ll send a considered reply in return.

    Why do it? It lets you see how I think, feel my style of communication, and decide whether it resonates before committing to anything.

    Any commitments? None at all. If it doesn’t feel right, that’s completely fine. My aim is for you to find the guide who fits you.

    Step 2. Ongoing correspondence (if you choose)

    What is it? If you feel a quiet "yes" after our first exchange, we can begin a regular correspondence — usually one deep letter or message each week — creating a steady, reflective rhythm.

    Why do it? Not just to send messages, but to gently untangle your knots and move toward the life you want to build, one written thought at a time.

A closer look at our work

Format

We work exclusively through writing (via a secure private channel or email). You can write whenever you're ready — day or night — free from the pressure of a scheduled appointment.

Contribution

I don’t want cost to stand between someone and the help they need. That’s why I work on a pay-what-feels-right donation basis: after each exchange you choose the amount that feels fair and manageable. Your willingness to change is the currency that matters most.

Confidentiality

This is non-negotiable. Everything we write stays between us. It isn’t just a promise — it’s the ethical backbone of my work. You can trust that this space is completely safe.

Questions that are absolutely okay to ask

What if I'm not a good writer?

This isn’t about beautiful prose — it’s about honesty. Messy, fragmented, simple words carry just as much weight. My job is to understand the feeling behind them.

What if I have nothing to say?

That’s absolutely okay. The blank page can be intimidating. Begin with a single word, a question, or even a bullet list. I’ll help from there.

Will you be analysing me?

My goal isn’t to solve you like a puzzle, but to help you see and understand the patterns that emerge in your own writing.

Ready to write the first word?

Just message me to begin our free, no-obligation first exchange. Take all the time you need.

Voices of those who felt heard

These are voices from my journey, from both spoken and written conversations. The method may change, but the feeling of being understood remains the same.

I’d like to thank Oleksandr for his professionalism and warmth. He helped me make sense of what was happening inside: I stopped spiralling into the future and started noticing the here and now. Through our work I let go of the harsh self-criticism, the fears, and that long-standing sense of guilt. I feel steadier, calmer, more confident. Oleksandr creates a safe space where you can look at your challenges honestly and find a way forward. I’m genuinely glad I reached out to him.

Thank you, Oleksandr, for helping me find answers so quickly. After the session the tension was gone and there was room for new ideas. Oleksandr saw the essence of my situation and described everything that was happening inside — things I couldn’t explain myself.

Oleksandr is a wonderful specialist. After the consultation I felt lighter and clearer. It’s easy to talk to him — he inspires trust. I’m grateful for the support and gladly recommend him.

My story (for those who stayed till the end)

Becoming a psychologist was never part of the plan. My path began unexpectedly — in the army. Among boots and drills I realised something simple and important: inner balance doesn’t depend on outer circumstances. The universe has a sense of humour and throws insights into the most unexpected places.

I travelled a lot, lived in Yemen, India and England, earned degrees in economics and psychology, worked in different spheres — from entry-level roles to running my own company.

I was married, went through a divorce, kept a good relationship and have lived on my own for the last ten years. Well, not entirely on my own — my cat lives with me. This experience didn’t make me a guru, but it taught me to notice threads in other people’s stories that once ran through mine. And to see that any knot can be untied.
