Take everything you worry about, that doesn’t let you sleep peacefully, and bring it to me.
Let's get acquainted!
My name is Marina Slobodyanik.
I am originally from the beautiful and cozy city of Vinnytsia in Ukraine. Now I live and work in Dublin, Ireland.
Psychotherapy is my job and at the same time my favorite activity. Not everyone in this life is so lucky. But I am!
I work in the Integrative Psychotherapy method, which allows me to combine various methods and techniques from the vast diversity of existing psychotherapeutic approaches. Symboldrama, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Approach, Clinical Hypnosis, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) are the approaches I use.
This helps me to choose an individual approach for each client in the given situation.
And also… I don’t have answers to all your questions because I am not a guru or a wise oracle, but I know how to help you get these answers and find the best solutions to your problems within yourself.

Couples psychotherapy

What is the difference between counseling and psychotherapy?
Counseling
This is assistance to the client in finding solutions to specific problems or tasks in their daily life, related to interactions with the outside world. It is a short-term process. You might need between 1 to 10 sessions, depending on the magnitude and duration of the problematic situation.
Counseling can help you:
- Get out of a difficult situation in close relationships or at work;
- Overcome stress;
- Resolve conflict with colleagues, friends, loved ones;
- Prepare for an important event;
- Make a decision;
- Learn to deal with similar situations in the future.
Psychotherapy
This is an in-depth exploration of unconscious processes, internal conflicts, behavior patterns, perception of the world, and oneself in it. The goal of psychotherapy is to bring about changes, a kind of restructuring of the personality in those areas that prevent you from feeling more harmonious and happy. It is a longer and more complex process. The harmonization of personality occurs gradually. Psychotherapy will require you to invest time and effort, from six months to several years.
Psychotherapy can help you:
- Get to know yourself, your thoughts and feelings, aspirations and true desires, needs;
- Change habitual thinking patterns and behavior patterns;
- Change your attitude towards yourself and the world around you;
- Process traumatic events in your life in a safe environment and gain experience for further development, instead of getting stuck in trauma;
- Cope with loss;
- Deal with panic attacks, mild and moderate depression, anxiety states, dependent behavior, insomnia, and etc.;
- Alleviate or eliminate psychosomatic illnesses.
Family or couple counseling
Typically lasts from 5 to 20 sessions.
How does it all happen?
You need to connect with me in any convenient messenger and text me briefly about things which are bothering you so much.
We will agree on a convenient time and day for the meeting online or in the office.
At the meeting, we will get to know each other better so that it becomes clearer to both you and me if we match for each other.
You will tell me what you would like to change, solve, overcome, etc.
Together we will try to formulate your request for our work. Request is the goal you would like to achieve at the end?
We will define the strategy and timeframe for the work, based on your personality traits, your preferences, and my professional knowledge and skills.
If you need psychotherapy we will sign a contract with you. It sets out the rules which you and me will adhere to in our collaboration in order to achieve the desired result.
Everything is ready! We can start!
“One can talk about happiness for five minutes, no longer. There’s nothing to say except that you’re happy. But people talk about unhappiness all night long. However, a miracle always waits for us somewhere near despair.”
- Erich Maria Remarque -

Work directions
Symboldrama
What is Symboldrama?
First of all, it is a method of deep analytical psychotherapy. Personally, I have not yet met people who found it hard or unpleasant to work on their problem using this method.
It is an extremely fascinating process that will not leave you indifferent.
MORE DETAILS
Jungian analysis
This is a direction in psychology based on the ideas of analytical psychology by C.G. Jung.
The essence of Jungian analysis is understanding that in addition to conscious life, each person has an unconscious part of complexes, childhood, and psychological traumas, which the client analyzes with the help of an experienced psychologist.
MORE DETAILS
Integrative method
When you finally decide to start therapy, you will face some difficulties. One of them will be the choice of the psychotherapy direction in which your therapist should specialize and which will best meet your requests.
Then knowledge about the existence of such a method as Integrative Therapy will come to your aid.
MORE DETAILS
Clinical hypnosis
The basis of hypnotherapy lies in the technique of inducing a trance, and the trance itself is a special temporary state of consciousness, during which control weakens, and attention is focused on the inner world rather than the external one.
In trance, we have the opportunity to touch the unconscious, where all the answers to our questions are.

Marina is a very responsive and emotionally warm psychologist. The sense of security, stability, and freedom to make my own decisions is what I filled up with while working with her.

Saying I was depressed is an understatement. This all happened to me after my boyfriend and I broke up. My self-esteem didn't just lower, it plummeted. Every day, feelings of resentment, disappointment, and anger were replaced by guilt, shame, and even some sense of inadequacy.

Thank you very much for the consultation! You helped me understand the reasons for my destructive behavior. To realize where the causes stem from. And to understand many things that were previously hidden from me. Thank you for your response. I really enjoyed working with you. A competent specialist. I recommend!

Thank you so much for understanding my problem and helping me find the right words to solve the situation. I also looked at myself from a completely different perspective.

Honestly, I was scared to approach a sexologist. It is not customary for us to talk about our sex lives and even more so about the problems we have there. Finally, I decided to go, it was already impossible to drag it out further. On the very first session, I realized that it is not so rare and that something can be done about it. It was a difficult path, but I achieved the result after so many years of fear, guilt, and a sense of inadequacy. Thank you!

When I joined the group and looked at the participants, I habitually scanned everyone and evaluated, and many I devalued😂 This one is old, that one is too young, too proud of her appearance, this one is a classic teacher, so she will be lecturing, this "professor" acts all high and mighty. But I stayed in the group. By the second meeting, I suddenly became interested in that "teacher" and felt sorry for that "old man" who turned out to be a professor. In the end, we all became so close that I still turn to them if I need something, not to my girlfriends.

I played for the first time for fun. Went along with the girls. Never thought a transformational game could be similar to therapy. 3 hours flew by, I didn't even notice. I got an answer to the question that had been bothering me for several months. It’s amazing how the game, through different means (metaphorical cards, questions, and messages, participants) kept bringing me back to the same solution. Now I know what I need to do.
