Olena Lukianchyk
I am a Registered Counselling Therapist (ACTA) with a Master’s degree in Psychology, providing individual, couples, and group therapy.
My professional experience includes supporting clients from diverse backgrounds with anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, relationship difficulties, life transitions, chronic pain, emotional dysregulation, and the psychological impact of immigration and cultural adjustment.
Throughout my career, I have worked across community mental health, the settlement sector, and domestic violence services with individuals, couples, families, and groups navigating complex life circumstances.
My clinical thinking is rooted in exploring what lies beneath emotions, behaviours, and choices. Understanding the present entails examining how personality develops over time, how early relationships shape the ways we connect with others, and how past experiences continue to influence our lives. An integrative approach draws on Gestalt therapy, ACT, CBT, emotion-focused, mindfulness-based, and solution-focused interventions, applied in accordance with the client’s needs and goals, their individual pace, and the course of therapy.
I believe that meaningful change begins with greater awareness of the inner world. This process offers an opportunity to discover how emotions, needs, relationship patterns, strengths, and life experiences come together to shape the way we experience ourselves, others, and the world. With deeper understanding comes greater freedom to make choices aligned with personal values.
Therapeutic work gradually creates an inner map, a deeper sense of clarity, self-trust, and
direction in life.
