You've built something.
But something's still off.
You've built something. Traveled. Done the work—or what you thought was the work.
But the same patterns keep showing up. The same distance in relationships. The same feeling that something's off, even when everything looks right.
I know that place. I lived there for years.
From the trenches to the work
At 20, I studied psychology. But I didn't want to help people from a textbook—I wanted to live first.
So I spent 15 years in the trenches. Freelance consulting. Co-founding a marketing agency (53mondays). Opening Bordeaux's first coworking space. Running events for hundreds of people.
Then I burned out. Sold my share of the company. And finally faced what I'd been avoiding.
Depression. Insomnia. Years stuck in a toxic relationship I didn't have the clarity to leave. I was successful on paper and falling apart underneath.
What changed everything wasn't a breakthrough—it was discipline and honesty. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (I'm a purple belt now). Deep shadow work. Taking full responsibility for my patterns instead of explaining them away.
That work continues. It always does.
How I work
No vague talk. No quick fixes.
We go after the patterns you keep repeating—in relationships, in work, in how you treat yourself. I blend shadow work, systems thinking, Gottman-based relationship tools, and philosophy into something practical.
You'll leave with clarity on what's actually driving your behavior. And a concrete path to change it.
I often work with location-independent men, but your life doesn't need to look like mine. The work translates.

My life now
I'm married to Yana—nutritionist, personal trainer, and the person who's seen me at my worst and stayed. Ten years together. We survived Covid lockdown in Thailand (sounds fancy but we were locked in our building), left Ukraine days before the full-scale invasion, and spent two years in Kyiv before moving back to Europe.
Now we split time between Bordeaux, Kyiv, and Bangkok with our Shiba Inu, Kaiju.
Outside of sessions: BJJ, painting, building things, hiking when I can. I've lived in 11 countries and visited 23. It helps me connect with people from very different backgrounds.
