ABOUT

My name is Jeyla Askari-Nasirova, and I am a psychologist, psychotherapist and coach. I completed my Bachelor’s degree with honours in psychology at Baku State University in Baku, Azerbaijan. In 2013 I continued my studies in psychotherapy at the Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, Austria. Since 2017 I have been a member of the Austrian Association for Systemic Therapy and Systemic Studies (OAS). For 14 years, I have worked with clients in private practice and at the Sigmund Freud outpatient Clinic in Vienna. Overall I have more than 2000 hours of practice.

MY APPROACH

In my practice, I use a systemic approach to psychotherapy, which is also called systemic family psychotherapy. Systemic psychotherapists work with families, couples, and also individuals. This type of psychotherapy is suitable for people who need help with various personal and social problems.

Advantages of systemic psychotherapy:

• it is short-termed;
• type, extent and duration are determined individually and can vary from client to client, depending on their goals and desires;
• it will destroy internal blockades caused by past or present experience;
• it will help to strengthen and develop your inner abilities and experience, identify your strengths and weaknesses;
• it will teach to better understand yourself and other people around you;
• it will help to develop ways to solve your problems, be able to abandon bad habits and improve your communication skills.

SPECIALTIES

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, also called “talk therapy”, solves psychological problems through client-therapist interaction and using specific psychotherapeutic methods and techniques. It is an opportunity to listen to yourself, understand yourself, deal with your difficulties or issues, and jointly find the best solution to these problems for you.

Coaching

Coaching is a highly motivating and inspiring way to support someone in development. The difference between coaching and psychotherapy is that it directly impacts activating your personal resources with immediate improvements in performance and results. Coaching is aimed at improving the client’s life professionally and personally. It provides a basis for enhancing personal leadership skills and individual performance, works with the present, and aims to build the future. While coaching can be therapeutic in its effect, it is not therapy or counseling.

WORK PROCESS

Psychotherapy.

You- are the leading figure in the psychotherapy process. The mission of the psychotherapist is to guide you, suggest other possible ways of solving the problem and create a reliable and trustful atmosphere in which you can be yourself. Therefore, before deciding to begin psychotherapy, you should ask yourself one crucial question: “Am I ready to change something in myself or my life?” Because the effectiveness of psychotherapy depends primarily on your willingness to change and to work on yourself and your problems. The relationship between the therapist and the client is professional and strictly confidential. We will discuss your needs and expectations at the beginning of our work together. Then, in our meetings, we will work toward creating solutions for your situation by applying specific techniques used in systemic therapy.

Coaching.

During the coaching, I will only help you activate your potential, capabilities, and abilities and develop awareness. Human potential has no limits, and the coach helps to open this potential. A person knows about himself and his difficulties much better than any coach or consultant and can help himself best and most effectively. Coach does not give advice, teach, or influence; he helps identify your concrete development needs. To clarify what you can achieve, place your resources and opportunities to overcome obstacles in your chosen path. I will support your personal growth and achievement of your goals.
