Eden Kosman - Psychologist (M.Sc.)

I offer online psychological counseling focused on sex therapy, stress management, communication, and personal growth.

I work with people who want to gain clarity, improve relationships, or reconnect with themselves – in a respectful, mindful, and science-based way.

ABOUT ME
Psychologist with a Focus on Sexuality and Mindfulness

I’m a psychologist with further training in sexology and mindfulness-based approaches.

My professional journey led me from psychology to sexology – and finally to sexual psychology.

I combine scientific knowledge, my own research experience, and practical tools. I work with structure and without judgment – always with empathy.

How I Work - Mindful, Solution-Oriented, Respectful

My approach is solution-focused, resource-oriented, and based on collaboration.

Mindfulness supports emotional regulation, pattern recognition, and lasting personal change.

All sessions can also take place online, allowing for flexible and confidential support – wherever you are.
