“What is important is not what happens to us, but how we respond to what happens to us.”
Jean-Paul Sartre
Introduction
ABOUT ME
My name is Diana. I am psychologist and a certified sandplay therapy practitioner. I help people find new meaning, understand themselves and their emotions more deeply, navigate challenges, and uncover their inner resources.
I am passionate about continuous learning and expanding my skills. My heart is especially drawn to the existential approach, as it allows us to look inward and explore life’s most meaningful questions.
I believe in the power of symbols and understand that words alone cannot always capture the depth of human experience. That’s why I incorporate metaphorical cards, sand therapy, and other creative methods into my work—tools that allow us to connect with the inner world in a gentle, meaningful way.
To me, a psychologist is also a companion—someone who explores alongside you. I invite you to join me on this journey of discovery, where together we can uncover new horizons and the hidden landscapes of your soul.

Consultation rules
1. If the consultation is canceled less than 24 hours in advance, it will be charged in full. You can only book your next consultation after paying for the missed one. 2. If you are feeling unwell, please make it known in advance. The face-to-face consultation can be rescheduled online. 3. The consultation begins at the agreed time. If you arrive early, it will not be possible to start the consultation earlier. 4. The duration of the consultation is 50 minutes. If you arrive later than agreed, the time of consultation will be reduced to fit within the original time frame. 5. After and between consultations, only technical issues may be discussed.
I am not only a practising psychologist but also person who loves to create spaces for meetings, projects and lively communication. In addition to individual counselling, I am passionate about organising events, participating in creative and educational initiatives, and creating environments where people can learn, grow and be inspired.
My experience consists not only of professional education and practice, but also of many years of volunteer work. Working in children's and youth camps, coordinating programmes, participating in cultural and educational projects — all this has taught me to work with different people, find common ground, and create a warm and safe atmosphere.
I am open to collaborating with organisations, educational and cultural centres, and projects in the fields of psychology, creativity, and personal growth.
I am interested in combining psychology, art, and live communication to create events that leave a mark on the soul. If you are looking for a partner for a project where depth, sincerity, and attention to detail are important, let's create together.
