Throughout our lives, we encounter various challenges. Yet, few demand as much emotional energy as relationship issues.

Relationships are supposed to be straightforward.
You are a good person, wanting nothing more than to love and be loved in return.
So why does everything seem so challenging, with your efforts often not producing the desired results?

My clients often say that relationships are illogical and hard to understand at times. Why? Because they are rooted in emotions, which seem chaotic and unpredictable.
My name is
Katerina Furman
I am a relationship therapist and I can help you find, build, and maintain long and healthy relationships.
Want me to surprise you?
Emotions are very logical. They serve your physical and psychological well-being. They protect you from harm. They can also change your life for the better. At least, that's what they are designed to do.
Your struggles stem from not understanding the language of emotions — it's as if someone is speaking to you backward. But if you learn to speak the language of emotions, you'll be able to use them as intended and harness their benefits effectively. Everything will become simple and clear.

My approach to work is to create clear and STRUCTURED process, in which you are an active participant
YOU
ME
RESULT
Understand
what you are doing and why.
Know
In therapy, we focus on the chronic emotional states that affect your thoughts and behaviour.
what to expect and how it will work.
Feel
We address the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.
comfortable and engaged with the process
This approach empowers you to understand yourself and others, confidently manage your emotions and behaviour, and build strong relationships.

The methods I employ are highly effective for working with emotions
all methods are based on traditional, time-tested approaches:
/ Transactional Analysis
/ Gestalt Therapy
/ Trauma Theory
/ Attachment Theory
their efficacy is supported by scientific research
While the therapy is effective and relatively fast, it is conducted as gently as possible. You have already suffered enough from your issues, and the process of overcoming them should bring you increasing relief with each session.
Analytical Hypnotherapy
Processes traumatic events and their aftermath at the level of neural connections in the brain using eye movements.
Identifies the root causes of chronic emotional conditions in earlier events and addresses negative emotions and beliefs from both the past and present.
EMDR Therapy
Facilitates emotional intimacy and stability in couples by re-establishing contact, fostering closeness and addressing the fundamental emotional needs of each partner. Supports individuals in cultivating a secure, positive connection with self, facilitating understanding and effective management of their emotions.
Works with inner conflicts and life scenarios through the use of both memories and imagination, transforming the images that arise and extrapolating the changes into real life.
