Community & Humanitarian Work
A commitment to community beyond the consulting room
Zoya's practice is shaped by a lifetime of service — from international humanitarian work to crisis counselling in the heart of the Australian community.
Ukraine Support & Advocacy
Since 2022
Born in Ukraine, Zoya has remained deeply committed to supporting individuals and families affected by the war since 2022. Through counselling, personal support, and advocacy, she has helped people navigate trauma, displacement, and uncertainty. Her ongoing work reflects a profound connection to her heritage and a strong belief in the healing power of compassionate, culturally informed care.
Bondi Beach Community Counselling
Sydney, Australia — December 2025
Following the tragic Bondi Beach shooting in December 2025, Zoya served as a group counselling facilitator for the Sydney community, helping residents, witnesses, and first responders come together, process collective grief, and begin the journey towards healing. This work reflects Zoya's deep commitment to community wellbeing in times of crisis.
Caritas Italy — Volunteer Counsellor
Italy — International Humanitarian Work
In her earlier career, Zoya volunteered with Caritas Italy, one of the world's leading humanitarian organisations. This experience working with vulnerable communities across cultures deepened her empathy, cross-cultural competence, and commitment to accessible, human-centred care — values that remain central to her practice today.
