About the Author

Olga is a vocational Psychologist dedicated to supporting others to believe in themselves, eliminating self-doubt and empowering them to own their own voice and needs. After experiencing the consequences of an insecure self-esteem for a long time, the loss of her grandad served as a wake up call to quit her Forestry Engineering degree 5 years in and to start her Psychology Degree instead, working and studying full time and moving to England during the process. Qualified in 2018 and now training to become a Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist, Olga believes our minds can change our world, and continues empowering others in the journey toward fulfillness.
