Practising psychologist, psychotherapist and educator. Founder of KADI and Guidance School, author of The Crafted Pathway. One-to-one guidance sessions online.
I am Ksenia Kadi — a practising psychologist, psychotherapist and educator, with a Master of Science in Ecological Genetics. Across seventeen years of teaching and ten years of therapeutic and training practice, I have worked with more than 1,200 students from more than a dozen countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the US and Australia.
My core work is Transgressive Focusing, an original method I have been developing for more than twenty years. It is a practice of directed attention and self-reflection that helps you engage consciously with your inner images, bodily sensations, intuition, emotions and thoughts — the symbolic structures through which we perceive our lives.
The work is practical and grounded. It is used for learning, reflection and research — to develop inner balance and a steadier, more conscious relationship with your own experience. You do not need any belief system or prior training: you bring a real question, and we work with it directly.
Sessions are held online.
These sessions are a reflective, educational practice. They support inner balance and self-understanding and are not a substitute for medical or mental-health care.
A one-to-one session in my method — directed attention and self-reflection, brought to a real question, an inner state, or a decision you are facing.
Transgressive Focusing has two modes. We choose the one that fits your question and how much energy you have right now.
I enter focused attention and gather a clear, precise answer for you, offered as direct speech from a wiser, more resourced perspective. You receive a complete answer you can return to later and keep finding new support in. This suits moments when you want the sense of a direct, knowing conversation, or you do not have the strength to reach the answer yourself.
I bring us both into an expanded, focused state and lead the process while keeping your own will active — a conversation about your inner world in which your view of the situation is rebuilt at depth. The answer is assembled together, your authorship stays with you, and you leave already living a new sense of yourself, after which real change follows more easily. This suits moments when you want to remain the author, have enough inner resource, and want to shift behaviour sooner.
No prior training is needed. I do not work with medical questions, questions about other people without their knowledge, acute psychiatric states, or predictions of the future.
The book behind the method, in English — on attention, inner work, and living life with mastery.
The Crafted Pathway helps you renew your idea of self-development and serves as a guide to a living, present-day relationship with life. It is written using the Transgressive Focusing method.
It is for the person with an inquiring mind — someone who has asked, since childhood, many questions about how life is arranged on a large scale; who does not accept rigid systems of belief, is living through a period of transition, has outgrown former convictions but not yet found a new working paradigm, is ready to step beyond traditional religious and philosophical teachings, and senses that behind the visible stands “something more”.
At heart, it is about how to mend the difficulties of human consciousness, activate your will, and begin to live life with mastery.
Send me a message with what you would like to work on, and any questions you have.
We agree a time and the details. You receive a secure Stripe payment link to confirm your place, and a Zoom link for the call.
We meet on Zoom for about 90 minutes and work directly with the question you bring.
Guidance sessions and the book are the entry points available in English today. The full body of work — training in the Transgressive Focusing method, a range of courses built on it, webinars and in-person events — currently runs in Russian, with English versions in preparation.
There is also Neolila, an online game for life strategy and self-understanding.
To be first to hear when the English-language courses open, send me a message below.
Writing on the method and the research behind it. More in English coming soon.
The first study of the method using standard psychological scales — 203 participants, measured before and after. What changed, and what we do not claim.
