Daria

Mrs Daria Riazanova, MSc

Licensed Psychologist

I'm a licensed Psychologist, offering support to people who are dealing with life uncertainties and challenges

About Me

I help clients navigate the complexities of life’s uncertainties and challenges. Holding a Master’s degree in Psychology, I offer a grounded space to explore your concerns. My aim is to support you in finding clarity and developing practical ways forward. This dual approach ensures you gain both emotional understanding and actionable steps. It's ideal for anyone feeling overwhelmed by change or seeking new direction.

Approach

To untangle pressing concerns, I direct sessions toward small, practical shifts that reduce overwhelm and sharpen perspective. In Amsterdam and online, in English or Russian, our work moves at a steady, collaborative pace—brief check-ins, focused exploration, and doable experiments between meetings. I pair calm guidance with structured exercises to address anxiety, trauma responses, OCD patterns, relocation stress and burnout, helping you notice habits and try new responses. This way of working suits adults seeking clear, manageable steps through change.
