For people rebuilding their sense of identity, stability and belonging.
I am Maria Molnár-Moiseeva. I offer psychological counselling to adults and adolescents, and much of my work is with people living between countries and cultures.

I grow conifers. A tree that has been moved spends its first seasons on its roots, and little shows above ground. People who have changed countries, lost someone or come through a crisis are often in that same season.
My perspective as a psychologist has been shaped as much by my own years of living abroad as by my academic training. For the past decade my work has involved helping adults navigate immigration, and my master’s research explored coping strategies and time perspective among adult immigrants.
What people bring
Moving and belonging
Settling into a new country, culture shock, homesickness, and the slow work of rebuilding identity and a sense of home.
Life crises and transitions
Endings, losses, illness, a career that no longer fits, or a period when nothing feels stable.
Low mood and burnout
Exhaustion, loss of meaning or motivation, and feeling flat or overwhelmed for longer than you would like.
After difficult experiences
Support after events that still weigh on you, at a pace that feels safe.
Grief and loss
Bereavement, and the quieter losses that come with leaving a country, a relationship or an old self behind.
Adolescents and young adults
Teenagers and students facing identity questions, family tension, or a move they did not choose.
How I work
My training followed a scientific approach to psychological work, and I keep a close eye on current research. Rather than fitting everyone into one method, I look for what suits your circumstances and the way you think.
At the moment I draw especially on the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people make room for difficult feelings while moving towards what matters to them, and on schema-informed work, which looks at long-standing patterns that began earlier in life.
I am also drawn to research on behaviour, the mind–body connection and neuroscience, and to existential philosophy and linguistics.
Long, meaningful sessions
Important thoughts and feelings often need time to emerge, and even more time to be understood.
The 50 to 60-minute session became standard partly because of institutional and insurance arrangements in the United States. I see no reason to treat it as a universal rule, especially working in Europe.
So we choose the length that serves the work. Ask me how this works in practice, or see fees and formats.
A move disturbs your sense of time, as well as place
My master’s research looked at how adult immigrants relate to their past, present and future, and how that shapes the way they cope.
What you left is in another place. Missing it does not mean the move was a mistake.
Everyday things take effort in a new language and culture. Tiredness is part of adjusting.
Plans feel less certain for a while. We work on direction, one realistic step at a time.
Before you get in touch
Can I see a psychologist in English in Debrecen?
Yes. I offer psychological counselling in English, in person in Debrecen and online by secure video. You do not need a referral, and the first 20-minute conversation is free.
Is this therapy or counselling?
I am a psychologist (MA) and offer psychological counselling: a confidential, structured space to understand what is happening and find a way forward. I do not diagnose or treat mental disorders. If you need psychotherapy, psychiatric care or medication, I will help you find the right specialist.
How long is a session?
Standard sessions are 60 minutes and extended sessions 90 minutes. Many people find the longer format gives important thoughts time to surface, so we choose together what suits you.
I am a student and the university sessions have run out. Can I continue with you?
Yes. Many international students use the university’s free counselling first. If you want to keep working after those sessions end, I offer a reduced student rate.
Do you work with teenagers?
Yes, with adolescents from 14. For anyone under 18 I need written consent from a parent or legal guardian before we start.
I am not an emergency service. If you are in danger or thinking about ending your life, call 112 or the free emotional support line 116 123, open day and night.
