Iryna Starkova Psychotherapy
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here!
My name is Iryna Starkova.
I am a practicing psychotherapist in the Transactional Analysis method. A member of the Ukrainian and European Associations for Transactional Analysis (UATA and EATA).
Author of therapeutic programs for adults and adolescents.
For me, psychotherapy is the art of combining natural sensitivity with the most advanced therapeutic techniques, and each client is an unpolished diamond meant to shine in all its brilliance. Therapy with me is always about warmth, support, significance, safety, and complete confidentiality.
The journey to YOURSELF may not be the easiest road in your life, but it is definitely worth it!
The Journey to My Passion
From an early age, I clearly felt my life's mission—to bring beauty to this world and make it a little better. And I did it!
My 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, as well as in film and television, have given me unique knowledge that allowed me not only to transform the appearance and style of my clients but also to help them unlock their inner potential. I guided people toward discovering a new version of themselves—more confident, harmonious, and closer to their dreams.
You could say that I have always been a therapist for souls and hearts, accompanying my clients on their journey to themselves. But over time, I realized that my knowledge and experience could do more than just influence external transformations—they could open doors to the deepest aspects of personality. This turning point came in 2015 when I embarked on my journey into the world of psychology.
After years of searching for the perfect method and trying different approaches on myself, I discovered the world of Transactional Analysis. It was love at first encounter—deep, sincere, and full of inspiration.
Today, I am ready to invite you on the most important journey of your life—a journey to your True Self. This is a unique path that will lead you to harmony, confidence, and self-awareness.
Join me and start your transformation today!

Welcome to a Journey of Self-Discovery Through Your Feelings
What is this group about and who is it for?
What is this group about and who is it for?
What is this group about and who is it for?
Our lives are shaped by the choices we make every day. How often do we look back and say:
"If only I had listened to myself…"
"My intuition was telling me…"
"I was right…"
"I knew this would happen…"
We can understand, explain, justify, and even negotiate with our own minds.
But the one thing truly beyond our control is "overcoming" our feelings, taming, or training our emotions.
In a safe therapeutic space, I will help you befriend your emotions once and for all!
Together, we will uncover their beauty, power, and strength.
And finally, we will begin to truly feel life!
How will the group sessions take place?

Therapeutic group for teenagers "Me and the Other"
Why is this important?
We all, as adults, remember from our own experience how challenging this stage of life can be—both for the teenager and for their family as a whole.
Now, it may seem like, "If only someone had explained it to me back then," or "If I had understood," or "If I had a mentor…"
At the age of 12-16, a stable and confident part of the "Adult" personality is formed, which is responsible for personal integrity, separation from the parental system, and the ability to enter adult life prepared.
That is why I have developed this program for teenagers—to help them navigate not only the challenges of today's reality but also the complex internal processes of growing up. This will support their development into confident, whole, and independent individuals.
In this group, your child will:
- Learn about the developmental tasks of the emotional system during adolescence.
- Develop the ability to recognize their own feelings and express them both in social settings and at home.
- Understand how to express aggression in a healthy way without irony, sarcasm, or manipulation.
- Master the skills of identifying their own real emotional needs as well as those of others.
- Learn to set and maintain personal boundaries while respecting the boundaries of others.
- Explore their relationship with time and develop time management skills to combat procrastination.
- Understand the impact of social media on personality development.
- Learn how to resist hate speech and bullying.
- Make new friends.
In this group, there will definitely NOT be:
- Judgment of oneself or others
- Criticism or comparisons
- Pressure or moralizing
- Analysis of complex childhood experiences or deep traumas
What is the main goal of the group?
To teach teenagers how to interact with others here and now through open communication. To help each participant see their own uniqueness and recognize the value of others!
