Consultation DetailsDeath doula and Grief counselor


 

  • Sessions take place as a conversational dialogue. I am a witness to your life, your experiences, and your losses.

  • We can speak openly about topics that are often considered taboo in society — especially death.

  • Your comfort and sense of safety are very important to me.
    I want to highlight once more - all sessions are held in a private, one-to-one format, with no recordings.

  • During our sessions, I am fully present with you.

  • Approximately 95% of the time I listen, and 5% I ask questions.
    And 100% of the time — I am genuinely interested in you as a person.

  • Sessions are available online, or offline if you are also in the Netherlands.

  • Once a week or based on your individual needs.

  • The standard session lasts 60 minutes. Other options are available in the intake form and information sheet.

  • What to have with you? A glass of water, and optionally a notebook and pen.

  • Recommendation
    Please choose a quiet, safe, and private space for the duration of our session.

  • Sessions are held in Ukrainian (my native) or Russian. If you speak another language, sessions can be arranged with an interpreter (organized and covered by me). As an additional note, I can partially support communication in English (B1 level), but for full understanding, the presence of an interpreter is recommended.

  • The roles of Loss Doula and Grief-Informed Specialist are closely connected. This means that during sessions, I may naturally integrate elements of both approaches. However, there are distinctions between them. Before we begin, I will gently ask about your expectations for the session and choose the most appropriate direction for our work together.

  • Price: the price of one session is 50 EUR (including interpreter).
