About Sviatlana
Helping couples thrive
Sviatlana is a Certified Couples Therapist based in Sydney. She speaks both English and Russian. Since 2006, she has been helping couples and individuals improve their lives and their relationships — working with people who are struggling, stuck, or simply wanting to build something stronger together.
As well as being a Couples Therapist, Sviatlana is a qualified Life Coach, Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, EMDR and trauma trained. This means that in individual sessions, she can help you address limiting beliefs, fears, insecurities and other personal hurdles that may be contributing to problems in your relationship.
Sviatlana is passionate about helping couples build long-term happiness because she knows what happens when relationships stay unhappy, and she knows the joy that comes when they don’t have to.
Her Personal Journey
She didn't just study this — she lived it.
Sviatlana was one of those children who grew up in a dysfunctional family, witnessing regular verbal fighting between her parents and marital distress. She made a decision when growing up to learn the science and the wisdom behind happy long term relationships, so that her own marriage would be ‘a port in the storm of life instead of being just another storm’. It took her years of learning through positive psychology, life coaching and couples therapy training to learn the principles and strategies behind successful long term relationships.
That personal journey is what makes Sviatlana different. She doesn’t just teach these skills — she uses them every single day in her own marriage. Happily married since 2006, Sviatlana knows from lived experience that when these skills are learned and applied, a relationship stays strong, deeply connected and fulfilling over the years.
This is why she brings so much genuine care and passion to every couple she works with.

Why Sviatlana Is Different
She teaches the skills she uses herself.
What sets Sviatlana apart from other therapists is not just her qualifications — it is the fact that she applies everything she teaches in her own life. She learnt these relationship skills in her 20s, has been happily married since 2006, and maintains a deeply connected, heart-centred relationship with her husband to this day.
She is not teaching theory. She is sharing something she genuinely lives — and that is what gives her clients the confidence that these skills truly work.
Another key difference: Sviatlana starts real coaching from your very first session. You won’t spend time and money on three intake sessions before any real work begins. You will leave Session 1 with something useful.
Why Sviatlana Is Different
"If you learn these skills and apply them in your daily life, your relationship is likely to stay strong and deeply connected over the years. I know this from my own experience."
