PSYCHOTHERAPIST
HANNA YERMAKOVA

I work online with clients worldwide, as well as in my office in Barcelona.
To book a session, you can choose a convenient time in my calendar or message me on Telegram (all contact details are in the footer of this page).

During the first session, we’ll get to know each other and discuss or clarify your therapy goals and expectations.
If your concerns feel vague or minor, there’s no need to worry. If they are truly small, we’ll address them quickly. And if they’re not fully formed yet, I’ll help you clarify them during our conversation. This way, you can better understand if therapy is the right fit for you right now.

I also always aim to make the first meeting as comfortable as possible, because I know from personal experience how scary it can be.

LGBT+ friendly.

It’s important to note that I also work with people who have personality disorders (such as borderline, narcissistic, bipolar, etc.) and psychiatric diagnoses (depression, anxiety disorders, etc.), provided they have ongoing supervision by a psychiatrist (if needed, I can share contacts of trusted psychiatrists).

I DO NOT work with children or adolescents under 18.

If you have any additional questions that are important to clarify before the first session, please use the contact method that suits you best in the Contacts section at the bottom of this page.
Looking forward to meeting you! :)

My own journey into psychotherapy began exactly with this kind of consultation — before that, I had already been a therapy client for several years, read dozens of psychology books, attended psychology workshops, in short, I was fully immersed in the profession but hadn’t dared to change careers. The stability of my marketing position in an IT company and what seemed then to be a “late” age to switch careers (I was 25 :) kept me from taking the step toward professional psychological education.

Then I came across an invitation for a consultation focused on finding one’s life calling, based on the idea that a person’s calling lies at the intersection of two things — their interests (the well-known “what would I do even if I weren’t paid”) and their true values. I say “true” because this is exactly what makes discovering your calling on your own so difficult — from childhood, our family, culture, and social circle impose their rules and norms, which sometimes contradict what we are truly gifted at and tend to suppress that inner calling. For example, a person with the calling of an artist might have heard since childhood that all creative people are drunks and lazy, and therefore never even look that way, only vaguely feeling a strange pull toward galleries and envy of the neighbor who’s a sculptor.

After confirming that my calling was to be a psychologist, I enrolled in university and began training in Gestalt therapy. I also trained in this technique for identifying one’s calling because I experienced its effectiveness firsthand.

The questions in this consultation are designed to bypass those blocks and limiting beliefs and help reveal your true values and interests. The session lasts one hour, and there’s a 50% discount on an additional therapeutic consultation if you uncover fears or doubts about pursuing your calling.

I invite couples and families of any composition (parents and children from age 14, siblings, multiple generations together, etc.) to therapy.

In therapy sessions, I will help you to hear each other, identify patterns that complicate relationships, and find ways to resolve conflicts, recognize unmet needs within your relationships, and much more. During the first session, each participant will have the opportunity to share their difficulties, and together we will find ways to overcome them.

To book a session, you can choose a convenient time in my calendar or message me on in whatever way is convenient for you (all contact details are in the footer of this page).

Before becoming a psychologist, I worked for seven years in marketing roles, and later as an employer brand manager in different IT companies. This experience gave me a strong understanding of business needs from the perspective of employee development and team engagement, and how psychology can address these needs.

I offer lectures and workshops in English and Ukrainian for teams of various sizes and compositions.

The format, topic, duration, and other details can be discussed individually to find the best fit for your company's needs. To get in touch, please use the contact method that suits you best in the Contacts section at the bottom of the page.
