Welcome
to my safe and supportive space, focused on providing expert guidance to parents through a developmental approach grounded in attachment theory.
About me
My name is Natalia Ravdina. I am a teacher, lecturer, and specialist in psycho-emotional development based on attachment theory.
In my work, I combine a scientific approach and practical experience, helping adults better understand the emotional world of a child and support their development.

How can I help?
Parents (and sometimes other adults) reach out to me when they are concerned about what is happening — or what has recently changed — in their child’s behavior or in family relationships more broadly.
I work within an attachment-based psycho-emotional developmental paradigm, integrating it with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodrama, art therapy, and other approaches.
