About me

My name is Daria Riazanova. I am a psychologist in Amsterdam, holding a Master’s degree in Psychology, as well as being a certified Life Coach and Counsellor. I work with clients both in-person in Amsterdam and through online therapy worldwide.

I truly believe in living life with presence, gratitude, and authenticity. Yet my path here was shaped by personal challenges. For three years, I struggled with panic attacks, anxiety, and chronic stress. That experience transformed me: it gave me deep insight into fear, resilience, and healing, and ultimately helped me reconnect with my authentic self.

This journey inspired my mission—to help others overcome anxiety, stress, and life’s challenges, and to rediscover their inner strength. Having gone through the process myself, I know that transformation is possible for everyone. The key is not outside of you—it’s already within.

My Approach

Since the age of 12, I have been passionate about people and psychology. Today, I live that passion every day, supporting clients in the Netherlands and across the world.

As your psychologist and life coach, I don’t offer quick fixes or ready-made answers. Instead, I create a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where you can:

  • Understand yourself more deeply
  • Reconnect with your wholeness and energy
  • Find clarity and solutions that are true to you

My sessions are personalized, compassionate, and confidential, designed to help you reduce anxiety, manage stress, and create lasting change.

Where to Find Me

You are welcome to visit me in my comfortable practice room in Amsterdam, or connect with me through online therapy sessions from anywhere in the world.

If you’re seeking a supportive space to overcome challenges and grow, I would be honored to walk this path with you.

I have worked with Daria for a couple of years now, and I cannot speak highly enough of her.Daria’s patient and pragmatic approach have helped me to build my self worth and confidence significantly - my initial expectation was to manage symptoms of burnout, but our work together has helped me address deeper beliefs and habits. It’s improved my wellbeing immensely.Absolutely recommend Daria to anyone who needs support, or guidance on living the life they deserve!

I started therapy with Daria at the beginning of 2024 while I was going through a rough patch in my life. She helped me work through a lot of issues and guided me towards finding a happier and more confident version of myself by the end of the year. I am very grateful for her expertise, approach and kindness and would recommend her to anyone looking to make changes in their life for the better.

Thanks Daria! My request was processed and our consultations gave me the strength and determination to move forward. When you yourself are involved in this, unfortunately, it is not always possible to adequately perceive reality, especially if you are in another country and there are no close people nearby.  This is why such consultations are needed, and you are lucky if you find a professional in your field. Problems need to be sorted out with specialists; unfortunately, I didn’t take this into account before, but when we are sick, we go to the doctor. The soul needs no less care, because... Physical health also depends on a healthy psychological state.
