Formulate before intervening
We first identify whether the main difficulty sits within the person, the role, a relationship, the team or the wider organisation.

PersonRoleTeamOrganisation01 / PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Where clinical psychology meets the realities of work.
Ilia’s professional background brings together psychology, management and international business experience. Before focusing fully on psychological practice, he worked in management roles across Russian, Western and Chinese business environments.
This experience shapes a practical understanding of organisational life: responsibility, competing interests, uncertainty, politics, performance pressure and the emotional cost of leadership.
His clinical training adds another level. Difficulties that appear to be problems of motivation, communication or performance may also involve anxiety, trauma, shame, emotional dysregulation or earlier learned patterns. The work can therefore remain practical while reaching the psychological mechanisms that keep a problem in place.
02 / HOW I WORK
Structured, evidence-based and adapted to the real system.
Connect insight with action
Understanding matters when it leads to different decisions, behaviours, conversations and working conditions.
Use the right level of depth
Some challenges need practical coaching; others require work with anxiety, trauma, shame, avoidance or emotional memory.
Track meaningful change
The work is organised around clear aims and observable progress rather than indefinite conversation.
