My name is Oksana Salminen<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a practising psychologist working with life crises, anxiety,
self-esteem, and questions of personal direction.\nI offer psychological consultations
in person in Tallinn and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my counselling work, it is important for me to create a calm and structured space where a person can carefully and thoughtfully explore their inner experience.\nI do not offer ready-made solutions and do not rush the process \u2014 the work unfolds at a pace that feels right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my practice, I am guided by respect for a person\u2019s feelings, perspectives, and life path.\nIt matters to me that the consultation is a place where difficult things can be spoken about without pressure, judgement, or expectations, allowing clarity to emerge gradually and personal sources of support to be found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Education and professional training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Master\u2019s degree in Psychology.
Practising psychologist working within the existential approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my work, I use methods and techniques of existential therapy, as well as elements of Gestalt therapy, transactional analysis, art therapy, and psychodrama.\nDepending on the request, metaphorical associative cards may also be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approach to my work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In counselling, a calm and structured space is created for careful inner work.
An important part of the process is not the search for quick solutions, but the gradual clarification of what is happening, the awareness of inner processes, and the search for support within one\u2019s own experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work is carried out confidentially, without pressure or expectations, with respect for what is important to you at this moment, and is guided by principles of professional responsibility and ethics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional position<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my work, I take a position of attentive support and a partnership-based dialogue.
A psychological consultation is a collaborative process in which solutions are not imposed, but emerge through understanding, reflection, and inner clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some, a single meeting may be sufficient; for others, the work unfolds over a longer period \u2014 always in accordance with the person\u2019s needs and situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If gentle and professional psychological support feels important to you during a challenging period, you may learn more about the format of the work on the Consultations<\/strong> <\/a>page or proceed to booking<\/strong> using the button below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
