What It Is

This is the personal service website of Andrey Starovoytov, a psychologist, psychotherapist, and supervisor. Its core offering is not a standardized recorded or live course platform, but psychotherapy, counseling, family and group therapy, as well as supervision for practitioners. The site also discloses his background as a course author and teacher, including educational programs such as “Systemic-Analytical Art Therapy,” “Intermodal Psychotherapy for Anxiety and Fear States,” and “Family Systems Psychotherapy.”

Core Dimensions

Services cover individual counseling and psychotherapy, psychotherapy support for adolescents, family psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, and supervision. Sessions are clearly available both offline and online. The stated working principles emphasize confidentiality, professional standards, respect for the individual and family, boundary awareness, and individualized plans. The process includes understanding the situation, clarifying needs, developing a strategy, tracking progress, and summarizing outcomes. His professional background is relatively complete: he is a Candidate of Psychological Sciences and an associate professor, has been engaged in psychotherapy, counseling, and psychological training since 2001, and has experience in professional associations, teaching, publications, and international projects.

Pricing

Pricing is relatively straightforward: individual therapy is €50, family psychotherapy starts from €65, and supervision starts from €50. No price is listed for group therapy. The text notes that there is no single answer for the duration of therapy; it may range from six months to several years, usually with one session per week. In acute situations, sessions may be held 2–3 times per week. The final duration and cost are confirmed during the first meeting.

Pros and Cons

The strengths are that his personal qualifications are disclosed in detail, his professional focus is clear, and online services and a therapeutic contract are available, making it suitable for users who value the therapeutic relationship and long-term work. Client feedback describes his style as gentle, meticulous, and able to create a strong sense of safety. The limitations are that, if evaluated as an “education/course” offering, the page lacks a structured syllabus, class schedule, learning outcomes, assignment mechanism, completion certificate, payment methods, and refund policy. The teaching language is not explicitly stated; it can only be inferred from the website content that it is Russian.

Who It’s For and Access from China

This is better suited to users with strong Russian proficiency who are seeking psychotherapy or professional supervision. It may also be useful for practitioners who want to understand the instructor’s background in areas such as art therapy and family systems therapy. The text does not provide information on access from mainland China, so actual testing is needed; for now, access status is unknown.
