Slava Soloviev

Existential Coach and Mindfulness Trainer

I practise mindfulness and existential coaching. In my work I help people understand themselves better, find support in their own experience, and make decisions that fit their real lives.

Over twenty years of practice I have led thousands of individual sessions and trainings. In that time my interest in the person has gradually moved beyond individual psychological methods and professional schools. I am interested in how a person perceives themselves and the world, how their ideas about life take shape, and what helps them remain the author of their own life.

How I see the person

I am close to the existential tradition, where questions of meaning, freedom, responsibility, and human existence take the central place. I am interested in human nature in all its variety: our contradictions, limits, possibilities, and capacity to change.

I do not see a person as a problem to be solved or a set of flaws to be fixed. I prefer to explore what is actually happening with someone, without ready-made answers or preset ideas of who they should be.

How I work

The foundation of my practice is a relationship of trust, attentive presence, and shared exploration of lived experience. It is a space where you can hear yourself better, make sense of what is happening, and see new possibilities.

I accompany people through transitional periods of life, when questions of meaning, choice, relationships, and identity arise. The work is not about quick fixes. What matters is that a new understanding gradually becomes part of real life.

Professional foundation

In my work I combine the existential approach, mindfulness practices, and tools of modern psychology. It matters to me to stay critical of methods, to take scientific research into account, and not to promise what cannot be justified.

My professional training includes existential coaching, mindfulness, the Gestalt approach, ACT, and positive psychotherapy.
