Executive Psychotherapy

Psychological Work for Leaders and High-pressure Professionals

Leadership is not only about strategy and results.
It is also about authority, visibility, responsibility and psychological exposure.

The higher the role, the fewer places there are where you can speak freely — without managing perception, without protecting your position.

Executive Psychotherapy is a space for that work.

Who Is This For

Founders and senior managers.
Leaders in high-pressure roles.
Neurodivergent professionals navigating leadership.
Tech managers dealing with self-doubt, stress, burnout & team challenges.

What We Explore

This is not business consulting and not performance coaching.
I am holding space for you as a mental health professional on your side.
We work on the psychological dimensions of leadership:

Leadership Coaching & Mentoring

  • Leading through uncertainty and change
  • Emotional intelligence & confident communication for leaders
  • Decision-making under pressure

Resilience & Burnout Prevention

  • Navigating workplace conflicts in high-stakes environments
  • Managing chronic stress and emotional fatigue
  • Setting boundaries and making time for your personal life

Tailored Support for Neurodivergent Leaders

  • Navigating imposter syndrome and self-doubt
  • Energy management and executive function skills
  • Designing leadership styles that actually work for you


About Me

Hi — I'm Maxim Makhankov, a leadership coach and licensed psychotherapy counsellor with a background in the tech industry.

I spent years working in IT companies, hiring teams, guiding managers, and navigating the challenges of high-pressure environments. I understand the realities of leadership — the stress, tough decisions, and the constant balancing act between work and life.

Today, I support tech leads, managers, and neurodivergent professionals by combining leadership coaching with mental health expertise. My focus is on resilience, emotional intelligence, and helping people lead in a way that feels sustainable and authentic.
