Marina Lavanova

Psychologist,
counsellor and coach in training

Sessions in Dutch, English, or Russian, online or in-person

Alongside my expertise in expatriation, burn-out, employability, and narcissism, I can assist you with:

stress,
loneliness,
difficulties with integrating into a new country and culture,
persistent tiredness, demotivation,
overthinking,
re-integrating after a burnout,
struggles in communication with others,
(overwhelming) emotions and difficulties with managing them,
low self-esteem,
fear to make a change,
wish to have a more fruitful profession,
wish to achieve goals more quickly (by slowing down),
and generally speaking, wish for a better life.

If you think it’s time to shake things off, let me know. You don't have to go through it all alone.

In my work, I use an integrative approach. That is, I combine the most efficient evidence-based practices from different psychological schools to meet unique needs of each client.

The use of the most modern techniques allows the shortest treatment times, with a maximum of 5 sessions for a moderate concern.

Together, we will look at your situation and you will leave with a solution that fits you.

My clients

My time with Marina was simply transformational. She helped me to discover the depths of my feelings, slow down and to find my lost strength. She provided me the safety and environment to explore my life without judgment and to work through different options and solutions. One of the greatest gifts in working with Marina was her way of utilizing different verbal and creative exercises. Finding Marina and learning the art of slowing down has changed my life profoundly and I will forever be grateful.

I never thought a stranger can make me open up like this! Her demeanor and voice somehow made me realize she’s there to listen, to help and that it’s safe. I think in the world we currently live in we all need therapy. Therefore, I recommend her with all my heart!

I had a specific question for Marina regarding how to respond to certain questions during a job interview. I was stuck on the answers I was giving, and together we looked at how those answers could be phrased differently. We arrived at better answers, exactly what I wanted.

fees

The first (intake) session is free of charge. The intake session allows aligning on your needs and expectations for therapy so that I can support you in the best possible way.

All the following sessions are charged at 90 euro (incl. taxes).

Duration of one session is 1 hour.

Insurance, unfortunately, doesn't cover this charge.

On average, 3-5 sessions are required for a request of a moderate complexity.

slowing down is not doing everything at a snail's pace.

it's being conscious about what you do, think, feel, and observe in yourself and others.
