My name is Elmira Strange, and I am a Research Psychologist (MPhil) and Psycho-Spiritual Coach (Dip). I am passionate about working with students who want to learn about Psychology and Psycho-Spiritual Development.
My previous work involved Research Psychology (at a senior level) and Lecturing at University (Wales, UK) on the topics of Psychology & Counselling.
The unusual bit: I was born in Northern Kazakhstan (where it's freezing cold in winter -40C and really hot summers +40C), then moved to Moscow, Russia, and finally to London, UK (where I've been living ever since my teenage years).
The interesting bit: I had life-saving surgery (with 3 remaining days to live) and a near-death experience in 2012. Since 2015, I've been living as a Digital Nomad.
My interests: Transpersonal (spiritual) Psychology, Digital Nomad lifestyle (travelling), and Scuba Diving (with dolphins and sharks)!
