Online Therapy for Trauma, Anxiety & Displacement | UK
Sessions in English, Ukrainian & Russian
You don't have to keep carrying this alone
A space to be understood and to find your way forward. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, or a life that no longer feels like yours.
You might be here because
Something happened
Trauma, loss, or an experience that left a mark and hasn't fully healed.
Something feels wrong
Anxiety, depression, or a quiet sense that something inside is off even if you can't name it.
A system failed you
Immigration, legal, healthcare, or a workplace and you're left exhausted and questioning yourself.
Life is changing
A transition — relocation, parenthood, displacement. That's harder than expected, even when it's chosen.
About me
Iryna Shaiashnikova
Integrative & trauma-informed therapist · NCPS accredited
I'm a Ukrainian therapist based in the Lake District, working online across the UK. I trained in both Ukrainian and British therapeutic frameworks which means I understand displacement, cultural transition, and the particular weight of rebuilding life somewhere new.

“The goal isn’t abstract healing. It’s helping you function better, understand yourself more clearly, and move forward with more agency in your own life.”

What People Are Saying
"My insecurity and dependence on others' opinions paralysed me. I was physically
healthy, but drowning in a swamp of self-doubt.
When I saw Iryna's page—'I help people find inner peace and self-confidence'—something clicked. That's exactly what I was missing.
Iryna didn't dig into my past or tell me stories about karma. Instead, she explained what was happening inside me and why, then taught me practical skills.
How to turn inward, not depend on what others think, and establish healthy boundaries.
I got real results after every session. My life started making sense. I separated my thoughts from others' thoughts, and critical thinking emerged.
Today I'm a different person—no longer helpless, but a whole human being with my own will and agency. Thank you for the work and the valuable knowledge."
— I.K.
"I started therapy with Iryna because I was exhausted by constant anxiety. I'm pregnant, 29 weeks, and this ongoing anxiety was affecting not only me, but also my unborn child.
During our session, Iryna gently and carefully helped me understand my problem in detail. She identified my actual needs and helped me assess whether I was ready to work on this situation.
What was most important to me was learning that I'm not losing my mind, that there are solutions, and that I'm not alone."
— A.S.
"Hello! I want to thank psychologist Iryna for her work and psychotherapy with me.
I live abroad and came to her with a diagnosis of depression (anxiety, fear, panic attacks).
We worked using the CBT method. I learned many solutions that help me live with my anxiety and my thoughts. Iryna is a remarkable person—open, kind, and good-hearted.
A true specialist in her field.
Thank you so much!"
— S.M.
