What people come with
Sound familiar?
Most of the people who come to me are women who can do a great deal and carry a lot on their own, yet find themselves back at the same point again and again.
Money
“It’s as if I’m jinxed: the moment I put something aside, something happens”
Worrying about money even when you have it. Or feeling afraid to ask for more for your work.
Self-realisation
“Career or family?”
At work you feel guilty towards your children; with your children, guilty towards yourself. You know you could do more, but you don’t start.
Relationships
“Different people, same script”
The same conflicts with a partner, parents or children. As if stuck on repeat.
Yourself
“I’ve lost myself”
You have lived for others for so long that you no longer know what you want. Tired, even though from the outside everything looks fine.
If you have tried everything — books, courses, therapy — this is for you. Many people come to me precisely after that.
This is not for you if…
- you are in an acute crisis or having thoughts of not wanting to live. Right now you need a doctor’s help;
- you have a psychiatric diagnosis. Here I can help by referring you to psychiatrist colleagues;
- you are looking for a magic pill that works “in one session”;
- you would like someone to decide for you. I help you find your own answer rather than handing you a ready-made one.
Why Soulence
Soul + Science
Soulence brings together soul and science. I am an engineer by training, with a PhD and years of scientific research behind me, and the habit of looking for causes rather than symptoms has stayed with me. Depth I learned through my own life. In my work I combine both: careful attention to feelings and a clear structure that helps you reach a result.
The cause, not the symptom
We look for where the repeating pattern comes from: family beliefs, old decisions, feelings that once could not be lived through.
Depth and action
Insight without steps is soon forgotten. So whatever opens up in a session, we turn into concrete decisions and actions.
Honest and gentle
I don’t promise easy paths or magic pills. I help you see things as they really are — and that is where movement begins.

About me
From rocket fuel to the inner world
My name is Anastasia. My path into this work was an unusual one.
- Tomsk Polytechnic University. Chemical Technology and Biotechnology: BSc (2010) and MSc with honours (2012). A second degree in Management (2012).
- Politecnico di Milano. PhD in Aerospace Engineering (2018): research into eco-friendly paraffin-based rocket fuel.
- Life crises that changed everything. Health, a breakup, motherhood, and the wish to do work I love and earn a decent income. They led me to psychology and showed me how deeply hidden processes shape our choices.
- Training. A coaching certificate (ICTA, 2020); a Russian professional-retraining qualification in psychological counselling, awarded under the Russian title “Psychologist” (2021); professional retraining in psychological counselling using the Alchemy of Breath practice (2025); neurocoaching (2025); professional development in Soul Therapy, the Terebenin method (2026).
- Today. Soul Therapy practitioner (Terebenin method), offering non-clinical counselling and coaching online in English and Russian. I take part in supervision at the method’s school and keep on learning.
“My path is not about ‘or’ but ‘and’: bringing different worlds together into one whole, and living deeply, beautifully and consciously.”

The method
How Soul Therapy works
Many of our choices are shaped by images and feelings we are often not even aware of: family patterns, old decisions, emotions that were never fully lived through. Together they form a familiar “picture” — and we keep acting it out, again and again.
In a session we bring that picture out into the open: we see which images and feelings it is made of and how they are connected. Then we separate what belongs to the past from what is truly yours now. Clarity and strength return, and new decisions become possible.
We work online, for 60–90 minutes. It can be one-to-one or with representatives — members of a group who help you see the situation from the outside, much as in family constellations.
- ImageThe situation that keeps repeating becomes a “picture”: which images and figures are part of it.
- ConnectionsWe look at how these images are linked and which feelings hold them in place.
- Everything in its placeWe tell apart thoughts and images that have become stuck together, separate them and put everything in its place.
- A new decisionA different view appears, along with a concrete step that once seemed impossible. New meaning emerges, bringing acceptance, gratitude and fresh motivation, and you start to feel better.
An illustrative example
Request: “Money comes in and goes straight back out.”
The picture shows a mother who always gave everything away, and an old decision: “I’m not allowed to keep anything for myself.” Once that link becomes visible, a step appears: putting a small sum aside and noticing how it feels. A few weeks later we check in: has money started to feel calmer?
About the method
The original method of Evgeny Terebenin
Patent. The method is protected by Russian patent No. 2871208. The application passed examination at Rospatent, and the patent was registered on 2 October 2026.
Research. A group programme based on the method was studied in a randomised trial with an active control group. The protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06863948), and the results were published in PLOS ONE in 2026: participants showed reduced stress biomarkers compared with the control group.
School and community. The method is developed by the Soul Therapy school. Practitioners go through training, practice groups and supervision with mentors and the author of the method, and review their work in a professional community. I take part in supervision at the method’s school.
How the work goes
I guide you step by step, not just listen
You always understand what is happening in a session, where we are heading and how we check that something is changing.
A single session
- Your request. What you want to change, and how you will know it has worked.
- Where you are stuck. We find where the pattern switches on.
- Working with images. With figures one-to-one, or with representatives in a group.
- A new perspective. What belongs to the past, and what is yours now.
- One step. A concrete action before we next meet. The last few minutes are for a calm close.
Accompaniment
- The start. You name 2–3 signs by which you will notice change in your life, and rate each one from 0 to 10.
- Weekly sessions. Each one is built like a single session: from request to step.
- Between sessions. A short check-in on your step via Telegram, so change takes hold in your life rather than staying in the session.
- Reviews. Every 3–4 sessions we look at your signs: what has shifted and what hasn’t.
- A closing session. What has changed and what comes next. Whether to continue is up to you.
You can stop after any session. That is your right, not an exception.
My principles
What matters to me in this work
- I don’t judge your choices. Whether to have children, whether to divorce — that is for you to decide.
- I don’t put everything down to childhood and your mother. We look at what is really affecting you now.
- I don’t tell you how to live. We look for your answer, not mine.
- You can stop a session at any moment. Just say “stop”.
- I don’t promise results “in one session”. I promise a clear process and honest feedback.
Formats and prices

A couple of yes/no questions
To make sure the format suits you right now and is safe for you.
15 minutes online
You tell me what is troubling you; I tell you how I work and how I can help. At the end, a brief word about formats and prices — the decision is yours.
How to prepare: a quiet place where no one can overhear you, and headphones. If you like, 2–3 sentences about what is troubling you. You don’t need to put your request into words in advance.
Reviews
Client stories
Clients’ stories — after one-to-one sessions, accompaniment and group sessions — are published in Russian, with each author’s consent, in a separate Telegram channel.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this psychotherapy?
No. My work is non-clinical counselling and coaching. It is not medical care or psychotherapy, and it does not replace treatment by a doctor. If you are under a doctor’s care or taking medication, please don’t change your treatment without them.
What don’t you work with?
Diagnosed psychiatric conditions, acute crises and suicidal thoughts. In these cases you need a doctor’s help, and I will help you work out where to turn. If things feel unbearable right now and your life is at risk, contact your local emergency services.
I have already tried therapy or counselling, and it didn’t help. Is there any point?
Many people come to me precisely after that. This is not just talking: we work with images and figures, and every session ends with a concrete step. We check for change against signs you name yourself. If it becomes clear during the discovery call that my approach isn’t right for you, I will tell you honestly.
I don’t know what to come with
That’s completely normal. It is exactly what the discovery call is for: in 15 minutes we put your request into words together. It is enough to say what is troubling you.
I feel embarrassed to talk about it
You don’t have to tell me everything at once. When we work with images, details are often not needed. I don’t judge or criticise. Share as much as you feel ready to.
Do I need to believe in anything? Aren’t constellations a kind of cult?
You don’t need to believe in anything, and it isn’t a cult: there is no membership, no rules and no obligations, and you can stop after any session. The method works with images and perception: how you see the situation and which feelings are involved. Anything can come up in the work — images, dreams, family stories, your own beliefs. I accept your view of the world and work with it without imposing mine. One-to-one we work with figures; in a group, with representatives.
Could I feel worse after a session?
After a deep session, feelings can be more intense for a while. That is why the last few minutes of every session are for a calm close. If things feel hard afterwards, message me and I will suggest what to do. If you need a doctor’s help, I will tell you so directly.
How many sessions will I need?
Sometimes one session is enough to clarify a specific question. Lasting change usually takes time, which is why for deeper topics I offer accompaniment for 2 or 3 months. We will discuss what you need during the discovery call.
Can I stop?
Yes, after any session. I will refund any unused accompaniment sessions. Whether to continue is always your decision.
Will you judge my decisions?
No. I don’t tell anyone how to live, whether to have children or whether to divorce. My job is to help you see the situation clearly and find your own answer.
Will you try to sell me something on the discovery call?
At the end I will briefly tell you about formats and prices, if you are interested. The decision is yours — no pressure and no “today only” offers.
Do you promise my income will grow?
No. I work with fears, inner prohibitions and patterns that stop you from acting. What that leads to financially depends on many things, and it would not be honest to promise specific amounts.
How do sessions take place?
Online, by video call. You will need a quiet place where no one can overhear you, and some time after the session to be with yourself.
Can we work in English?
Yes. I work in both English and Russian.
Is it confidential?
Yes. Everything you share stays between us. The only exception is a direct threat to life. Sessions are never recorded without your separate consent.
