Every person matters deeply to me. Their story, their pain, and their experiences are never just words or details in a clinical history. I take what they share to heart and remain emotionally present as we explore and work through their experiences together.
For me, this work is rooted in a deep love for people and for life — both in its fullest sense and in its smallest everyday moments. It means approaching each person with acceptance and respect for their unique circumstances, complexities, and limitations.

TESTIMONIALS
Evgenia
I feel incredibly fortunate that, in my search for my place in this world and my desire to make my life happier, my journey led me to therapy with Tatiana Tarmogina. By that time, I had already spent a great deal of time exploring myself through various techniques and approaches, and I realised that I could not complete this journey on my own. I needed professional help.
Tatiana is a true professional. She has an exceptional understanding not only of her own field but also of related disciplines, a deep insight into people, and a remarkably broad perspective. Throughout therapy, she creates a warm, welcoming and supportive environment in which she is a reliable and caring guide, helping me see the way forward. Sometimes she offers guidance and inspiration; at other times, she encourages me to slow down, reflect, analyse and reconsider deeply rooted beliefs and internal barriers.
What is particularly important to me is that Tatiana does not try to dismantle my view of the world. Instead, she helps me look at it from different perspectives and understand it more deeply, explaining things through the lens of psychoanalysis. In doing so, she helps me strengthen and bring greater clarity and structure to my understanding of myself and the world around me.
As a result, I have come to understand many things, learned how to work with my fears and overcome many of them completely, strengthened my self-esteem and belief in myself, improved my relationships with loved ones, and begun making changes in my life. Most importantly, I have finally found a sense of inner peace and balance.

I wholeheartedly wish Tatiana continued professional growth and success, and many happy and grateful clients!

“Hello, my name is Elena Melentyeva, and I am a theatre and film actress.
I began working with Tatiana Anatolyevna during an incredibly difficult period in my life. It was a terrifying year for me. A close friend of mine passed away after we had spent three and a half years trying to save him from cancer affecting his head. Just a few days later, lockdown began and the pandemic took hold. I was left without an income and fell into a very deep depression... I didn't even want to wake up, and when I opened my eyes, I couldn't understand why I should...
Step by step, we worked through all the stages of coming to terms with what had happened. We spent a year and a half processing my grief, and then began the work of transforming my mindset and focusing on my personal growth.
To be honest, I used to think that, since I had started working at the age of 13 and had already been through so much in life, I could confidently consider myself a grown-up :) I also believed that, if I really wanted to, I could solve any problem on my own. How wrong I was! :)
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my ‘inner Lena’ was still stuck at the age of six! :)))

“I have known Tatiana for almost ten years, ever since we worked together in the business world. When she began practising as a psychotherapist, I recommended her to several acquaintances, friends and even family members.
I consistently received excellent feedback from all of them. They described her as an exceptionally perceptive, insightful and intelligent therapist, with a deep understanding of people.
Despite her extensive qualifications, Tatiana continues to study, develop her expertise and explore complex and important subjects in greater depth.
Inspired by her example and our conversations, I chose psychoanalysis as the approach for my own personal therapy. Some time later, I also decided to begin training as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist.
Tatiana has become something of a mentor to me in the field of psychotherapy. When I complete my training, I will be delighted to call her my colleague once again — this time not in business, but in psychoanalysis.

Psychoanalysis is, on the one hand, a science and, on the other, an art. And Tatiana undoubtedly has an exceptional talent for it.”

Irina
“Tatiana is a truly lovely person! This is especially important when seeking professional help with personal matters, where trust is essential on both sides — between the client (patient) and the therapist.
She helps you discover and better understand your inner self. What makes her approach particularly special is her ability to help you remain true to yourself while finding the balance needed to navigate the challenges of life today.
Her personal experience and understanding of life are beautifully complemented by her scientific knowledge and professional approach.
You never feel as though you are at a formal clinical appointment. Instead, you are always surrounded by a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Tatiana to anyone seeking professional psychological support.”

“Hello!
After lockdown, I felt an urgent need to find a professional who could help me cope with neurosis and make sense of my thoughts and feelings.
Let me describe what I was going through. Due to accumulated stress caused by family circumstances, a difficult situation at work and various other challenges in my life, my body was simply no longer able to cope.
I experienced panic attacks accompanied by diarrhoea that could last for hours, constant fear, a sensation of a lump in my throat and stomach, severe tension in my leg muscles, trembling hands, and a raised temperature that persisted for over a month. I had no strength to get out of bed, not even to wash my face. I suffered from relentless headaches, constant anxious thoughts, an overwhelming sense of mental confusion and extreme drowsiness. I could sleep all day and all night, waking up only to feel anxious before falling asleep again.
I also experienced frequent colds — falling ill once a month had become normal for me — along with difficulty breathing and dizziness.
For an entire year, my condition continued to deteriorate. I consulted neurologists and was prescribed Grandaxin and Mexidol, and on a couple of occasions, Phezam. However, as soon as I finished each course of medication, all my symptoms returned. A comprehensive medical examination revealed no physical abnormalities.
Eventually, I realised that things could not go on like this. I needed to address what was happening in my mind rather than continuing to treat my body, so I began searching for the right therapist.
A friend recommended Tatiana to me, and after our very first session, I knew I had found the right professional.
What followed was intensive therapeutic work, exploring my fears, difficult life experiences and triggers rooted in childhood. We worked together for a year and a half, and thanks to Tatiana, I managed to find my way out of the nightmare I had been living through.
Tatiana helped me understand what panic attacks are and what happens in the body during stressful situations. She helped me work through my fears and see life from a different perspective.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Tatiana to anyone who feels as though the ground has been pulled out from beneath their feet.
Her approach during sessions was exceptionally gentle, caring and respectful. My personal boundaries were always respected. During moments of crisis, Tatiana remained available to support me. Whenever I found myself unable to cope with external pressures, she made time for an additional session. As someone who struggled with anxiety, this meant a great deal to me.
*Over the course of therapy, I managed to transfo

“Tatiana is a highly resourceful and energetic person with extensive experience in business. This experience undoubtedly brings valuable additional insight to her psychotherapeutic practice.
Her professional background often enables her to gain a deeper understanding of her clients, their challenges and ambitions. This aspect of her personality and experience helps her build strong therapeutic relationships with clients and contributes to the effectiveness of therapy.
Every psychotherapist is unique, and therapeutic approaches may vary depending on each client's individual needs. However, based on my own experience and knowledge, I would recommend Tatiana to anyone seeking psychotherapeutic support, particularly those who value the human connection and its influence on the effectiveness of therapy.

Her resourcefulness and business experience may be especially valuable when working with clients who are facing work-related challenges or seeking personal and professional growth.”
