About me
Ekaterina Mariposa, counselor (RUS/ENG)
Hello and welcome!
I am an English/Russian/Spanish speaking counsellor with over 13 years of experience providing counselling for adults and couples, helping them find ways through difficult life periods and transitions, and rediscover a sense of ease and inner resources in everyday life.
My approach combines body-oriented psychology, gentle and attentive listening, as well as elements of art-based, dance and movement, and imagery-based approaches, and work with internal metaphors.
I offer methods based on the client's request and individual pace. In our sessions, not only words are important — but also how the body responds, what feelings and images arise, and how the person experiences themselves in the process.
I help you gently explore how past experiences, emotions, and inner images are held in the body, expressed in everyday life, and affect your decisions & relationships with others.

WHAT YOU WILL GET
-
100% Confidentiality. What happens on the session, stays there. No one else will find out the names & details of your situation without your consent. No unannounced session recordings.
-
Empathic listening and my full presence as we unfold your situation. I don't judge - I mirror back to you what you don't see, walk alongside when you can't move forward alone, and stay with you when you need a witness to your journey.
-
Skilled professional support. Each Client receives individual approach. If your request falls out of my expertise I refer out or bring the case to supervision. I treat each story with respect and don't play "healer" if I don't feel competent.
-
Staying in the working alliance. That means no disappearances without warning, showing up on time, keeping our agreements. This goes both ways.
-
Trust. Meaningful work in sessions requires a working alliance between us. It takes time to build, and mutual trust is crucial for the process.
WHAT I CANNOT HELP WITH
-
I do not provide psychotherapy or treatment of mental disorders. I do not diagnose, perform a psychiatric evaluation or prescribe medication. When necessary I refer to a medical professional. That includes: acute suicidal states, self-harming behaviors, untreated psychiatric conditions/psychotic episodes, substance dependence, depression and anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders.
-
I do not write forensic reports.
-
I don't issue ready solutions or resolve the situation for you. Instead, I help you find your own pathways to solve your problems witch would lead the changes in your life. Possibilities are limitless!
-
I don't impose my beliefs or opinion. Instead, I will be curious to learn about your viewpoint, even if I don't agree with it, I will honour your choices.
-
I don't take sides, with couples/families. Instead, I create a safe space for the partners to explore their relationship and what unites them, so that each has room to share his/her story and find the solution that works.

Do I need counselling?
Challenges can happen to anyone, at any stage of life — and sometimes they’re simply too much to handle alone, or to talk through with a friend. Some experiences are so private, so tender, that even acknowledging them to yourself can feel overwhelming.
It’s not unusual for someone to come to a session, touch something deep, and then not return. The reasons often sound practical: “It’s too far to go,” “I don’t have time for this,” “Nothing will really change…” But the truth is, inner work isn’t easy. It’s not supposed to be — and that’s exactly what makes its outcomes so powerful.
The key to real change often lies in having steady, qualified support. In our sessions, we explore your feelings, beliefs, and the ways you experience your daily life — through emotions, through the body, through your habitual reactions.
I’ll be glad to support you in your transformations.
