Clinical Psychologist, Psychologist and Psychotherapist
Welcome! I’m Anna Zhelyazkova.
I work as a teraphist with adults who have lost connection with themselves, experience anxiety, fatigue, inner emptiness, are going through difficult relationships, or feel overwhelmed by an internal critical voice.
If you sense that something feels “off” — even if you can’t clearly articulate what it is — I can help you see it, feel it, and integrate it.
You can book your first session today. Our first contact will be an introductory conversation where you can get a sense of my approach and whether I might be the right fit for you.
5 key reasons why people come to me:
• Mental disorders: depression, anxiety, somatoform disorders, and personality-related difficulties
• Difficult or toxic relationships
• Inner emptiness, loss of meaning, depressive states, existential or life crises
• Psychological trauma
• Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating)
My approach
I practice Katathym Imaginative Psychotherapy (KIP) — a unique method of depth psychotherapy based on working with inner imagery in a state of relaxation. It is an officially recognized clinical method in Western Europe. In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, KIP is included in the national health insurance system (GKV), alongside psychoanalysis and CBT.
I complement my work with knowledge from psychoanalysis, psychiatry, and clinical psychology.
There is no moralizing, quick advice, or directive interventions in my sessions — only a respectful process of self-exploration within a safe and meaningful therapeutic relationship.
My philosophy
I believe that a symptom is not an enemy. What causes suffering today — anxiety, loneliness, compulsions — may once have helped you survive or endure psychological pain.
Therapy is not about “fixing” you. It is about rethinking a strategy that no longer serves your present goals — even though, for now, you may not yet have a new one.
And that is not your fault.
