Who am I?
Iaroslav Ignatenko
Born in Russia and raised in Australia, I discovered my superpower later in life — the power to see people beyond their stories, and to help them see themselves.
Now it's time to discover your own superpower.
I'm a qualified Mental Health Practitioner, Counsellor, and Psychologist with extensive academic training, but my real work happens beyond the textbooks. I choose a non-clinical, human approach — one built on honesty, curiosity, and genuine connection. Together, we create a space where growth feels natural and freedom feels possible.
Education
Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)
Master of Applied Psychology
Master of Social Work
Advanced Training in Human Design
My Approach
My approach combines the depth of psychology with a human, intuitive connection that transcends traditional frameworks. I draw on counselling, evidence-based practice, and, where relevant, Human Design insights — not as labels, but as tools to help you reconnect with your natural rhythm and expand self-awareness.
I believe most psychological and relationship challenges arise when we abandon who we truly are in the pursuit of being normal. Healing begins the moment we stop performing and start listening — to ourselves, our truth, and our inner authority.
Through this process, you'll cultivate deeper consciousness, heightened self-awareness, and the capacity to unlock your true potential.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is Untherapy?
When we're born, we're like unique flowers — each with our own colour, shape, and rhythm of growth. In an ideal world, surrounded by care, understanding, and freedom, we would naturally grow into our full potential — living lives that feel aligned, peaceful, and deeply fulfilling.
But most of us weren't raised in that kind of world.
Instead of being nurtured, we were shaped. Parents, teachers, friends, and lovers all tried to paint our petals a different colour, to bend our stems in directions that pleased them. Over time, we learned to hide our true nature — to fit in, to please, to survive. And no matter how hard we've tried to "fix" ourselves, something always feels off.
Untherapy is the practice of uncovering your real self and removing everything unnatural that was never truly yours.
It's not about fixing or improving yourself — it's about remembering who you are beneath the conditioning, the expectations, and the need to be "normal."
As you peel back these layers, something shifts. You begin to feel aligned again — with life, with purpose, with yourself.
From that place, the right people, opportunities, and experiences naturally gravitate toward you.
Untherapy isn't about becoming better.
It's about becoming you.

What is Human Design?
Human Design is an optional part of my work — a tool we can use if it feels right for you, but never a requirement for our sessions.
Human Design is a system that blends ancient wisdom with modern psychology and science to reveal your unique energetic blueprint — the way you are naturally designed to move through life.
It's not about putting you into a category, but about helping you remember your true rhythm — how you make decisions, use energy, and interact with the world when you're living in alignment with who you really are.
In Untherapy, Human Design is used not as a label, but as a mirror — a way to recognise what's authentic, release what's conditioned, and reconnect with your inner authority.
Through your Human Design chart, you'll discover:
- Your unique energy type and natural strategy
- Your decision-making authority and how to trust it
- Your innate gifts and challenges
- How to live and create from your true nature
