For many Ukrainians, Cyprus has become a temporary or longer home. Along with sun and a new routine often come longing, uncertainty, “what next,” and fatigue from constant adaptation.
Working with a Ukrainian-speaking psychologist online helps you keep a stable therapeutic contact even if your city or rhythm changes. We work with your present experience — gently, at your pace.
For many Ukrainians, Cyprus is a place of temporary or longer stay: a new country, a different rhythm, and often the feeling of being “here for now, but not forever.” Along with sun and a new routine often come homesickness, anxiety about the future, and fatigue from constant adaptation. Online therapy lets you keep a stable therapeutic contact even if you move between cities or return to Ukraine for a while.
Sessions can be in Ukrainian, Russian, or English, depending on which language feels easier for talking about what matters. The time difference with Ukraine is small, so it is usually easy to find a convenient slot. You can begin with a free 15-minute introductory call and then, if you wish, move on to regular 50-minute sessions.
Choosing a therapist is personal. On the site you can read more about my experience, approach, and session formats.

You can begin with a free 15-minute introductory call to ask questions and see how comfortable you feel with me.
About me
My name is Oleksandra Romanova. I am a certified Gestalt therapist and online psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with clients. My professional training includes three university degrees, many years of psychotherapy training, and dozens of additional programmes and specialisations. This helps me understand the person as a whole, including their relationships and wider life context, rather than focusing only on an isolated problem. Over 15 years of client work, I have combined private practice with projects ranging from rehabilitation centres to educational programmes. I attend regular supervision, follow professional ethical standards, and work in a Gestalt approach.

Ways to work with me
15-minute introductory call
15 minutes · online · free
The first step in therapy does not have to be a full session. During a brief online meeting, you can tell me a little about what brings you to therapy, ask questions, and see how comfortable you feel talking with me. This is not a therapy session, and there is no obligation to continue.
Individual therapy session
50 minutes · €50 · online
An online session focused on what feels most important to you right now. You do not need to have a clearly defined issue. I do not give ready-made advice or make decisions for you. Together, we explore what is happening so that you can better understand yourself, your feelings, and your needs.
How I work
For me, the most important foundations of therapy are safety and trust. You do not need to be a “good client,” say the right things, or know in advance where to begin. I do not work from a rigid script or offer ready-made solutions. In a Gestalt approach, we pay attention to what is happening for you now: feelings, needs, relationships, and familiar ways of responding. Gradually, it becomes clearer what you need and what you would like to change.
How online sessions work
We meet online at a time agreed in advance. You will need a stable internet connection and a quiet place where you will not be interrupted during the session. You can have therapy whether you stay in Ukraine or your home is now in Poland, Germany, Cyprus, Spain, or another country. I work in a Gestalt approach. In sessions we focus less on events and more on what you feel, what you need, and how you experience the situation now. Gradually it becomes clearer what is happening for you, what you need, and what you would like to change.
Where to begin
If you are thinking about therapy but not sure yet, I suggest starting with a free 15-minute online introductory call. You can ask questions, say a little about what you would like support with, and see whether working with me feels comfortable. After that, you can take your time deciding whether you want to continue.
