Shkurchenko Oksana

Since 1994, I have been working as a psychologist in a comprehensive school, met with disappointment and inability to help people through general recommendations and advice. In 2008 she entered MIGIS. The goal was to get new tools for the job. Education at MIGIS gave much more: personal growth, awareness of oneself, living one's feelings. All this formed a professional identity. The development of therapeutic possibilities continues today with the support of the international community of gestalt therapists and colleagues of our institute.

Gestalt therapy has brought into my life the art of contact and the opportunity to be of service to clients and the community of Gestalt therapists.

The main problems of my clients are living through blocked experiences, relationships with the outside world, developing new competencies for self-realization, professional burnout, getting out of crisis situations, working with creative potential.

Being engaged in Gestalt therapy, I fulfill the mission: "A meeting of a person with another person for the birth of energy directed towards beauty." Together with my colleague Tatyana Savitskaya, I developed a specialization in working with parent-child relationships. This program has been carried out many times, but at the same time, it is constantly changing, integrating into the reality of today.

I'm also a co-author of the specialty Dealing with Emotional Trauma, which we've been working on for three years!

A unique program is the “Working with feelings” specialization, in which I am a guest trainer.
