You don’t always have to figure everything out on your own. Sometimes, talking to someone can help you look at the situation from a different perspective, sort out your thoughts, or simply understand where to start. At IZUM Youth Club, you can get a free individual consultation. Choose the type of support that suits you best.
At our centre, young people aged 14–19 can receive free individual counselling from a psychologist. You don’t need to wait until something serious happens to talk to a psychologist. If something is bothering you, you’re struggling to understand your feelings, or you simply want to talk to someone who will listen and help — that is already a good enough reason to come.

🧭 CAREER COUNSELLING / COACHING SESSION
Not sure what you want to do next? Finding it difficult to choose what to study or which career to pursue? Do you have a goal but keep putting off the first step?
During an individual coaching session, you can calmly explore your situation together with a counsellor and understand where to go next and what concrete steps you can take right now.
Ksenia Antsiferova is a career counsellor and coach for teenagers. Ksenia helps young people understand themselves better and make informed choices without pressure or stress. Together with Ksenia, you can explore your interests, strengths, values, and personality to understand which paths truly suit you.
What can you come with?
“I don’t know what I want”
difficulty choosing a field of study or future profession
lack of motivation and constantly putting things off
fear of making a decision or making a mistake
worries about exams or the future
lack of self-confidence
having a goal or idea but not knowing how to achieve it
thoughts such as “I won’t succeed”, “I can’t do it”, or “I don’t know where to start”
You can also come with your own question or situation — it doesn’t have to be related only to education or career choices.
How is this different from psychological counselling?
A psychologist helps you explore emotions, experiences, and the reasons behind certain feelings or states in greater depth.
A coaching session focuses more on the present and the future: your goals, choices, motivation, possible solutions, and concrete actions.
This is not a test that will tell you “what you should become”. The counsellor’s role is to help you understand yourself better and find a solution that works for you.
What happens during the session?
First, you will get to know each other and discuss the situation you have come with.
Then, together, you will define a specific question or goal, explore it through questions and different techniques, and look for possible solutions.
At the end of the session, you will identify 1–3 concrete steps you can take afterwards.
💡 PROJECT CONSULTATION
Do you have a project idea but don’t know what to do with it next? Or would you like to create your own youth project but have no idea where to start?
Come for a project consultation with the youth workers at IZUM Youth Club, who have experience in developing, writing, and implementing youth and international projects.
You don’t need to come with a fully developed idea — you can start almost from scratch.
What can you ask about?
you have a project idea and want to understand how to make it happen
you want to create your first youth project
you need help developing your idea and setting goals
you don’t know how to write a project application
you want to learn where to find funding and opportunities
you need help at a specific stage of project preparation
you want to understand how youth and international projects work in general
What happens during a consultation?
First, we will discuss your idea or what you would like to make happen. Together, we will explore what opportunities are available and what you need to turn your idea into reality.
Depending on your needs, we can help you develop your idea, define your goals and target group, understand the project structure and application process, and plan your next steps.
Right now, all you have is the thought “It would be cool to do…”? That’s already enough to come for a consultation.
🤔 Not sure which consultation is right for you?
That’s completely fine. Write to us and briefly tell us what you need help with — we’ll help you figure out who would be the best person to talk to.
All consultations are individual* and free of charge. *Project consultations can be held in groups of up to 4 people.
📍 Consultations take place at IZUM Youth Club — Võru 11, Building B.
