My name is Semyon Polikovsky, and I am a certified Gestalt therapist. Twelve years ago, psychotherapy entered my life, profoundly revealing its immense potential through my own journey.

The past five years have seen me nurturing a private practice dedicated to restoring ease, elegance, and fresh perspectives in those areas where my clients find themselves repeatedly circling or stuck in impasses.

My method is grounded in the dynamic principles of field-oriented Gestalt therapy, firmly supported by modern clinical and scientific insights. My role extends beyond helping clients adjust habitual behaviors—I invite them into a deeper exploration of their inner world, perceptions, and embodied experiences. It’s precisely here, at this depth, that transformative shifts and holistic healing unfold. My practice places particular importance on bodily awareness, stemming from my belief that true change emerges through the body, beyond words alone.

Finally, despite the seriousness and intensity of therapeutic work and the heaviness of issues addressed, I believe it’s essential to create space for playfulness and creativity—after all, these qualities are what ultimately make us truly alive.
