Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
ACC is a credential awarded by the International Coaching Federation. It requires coach-specific education, at least 100 hours of coaching experience, mentor coaching, a performance evaluation, and the ICF credentialing exam.
My credential was awarded under my legal name, Daria Vasileva, and is valid from March 2026 through March 2029.

ICF-accredited Level 2 coach education
I completed Psychodemia's Coaching Mastery: Integrative Approach program. Psychodemia records the program as 200 academic hours, equivalent to 150 clock hours.
Level 2 is ICF's education pathway aligned with the PCC level. As part of the program, I completed mentor coaching, written assessment, and a recorded-session performance evaluation against PCC-level competency markers.
Completing Level 2 education does not itself make me a PCC. I currently hold the ACC credential and am continuing to build the coaching experience required for a future PCC application.

Foundations of psychodrama
In 2019, I completed the Basics of Psychodrama and Individual Psychotherapy program with the Contemporary Psychodrama Workshop in Moscow, led by Anastasia Butenko and Pavel Kornienko.
This foundational training informs occasional experiential exercises in coaching. It is not presented as psychotherapy qualification or clinical licensure.

IFS Canadian Community Conference
I attended 8.5 live hours at the 2026 IFS Canadian Community Conference as part of my continuing study of Internal Family Systems-informed reflection.
This is conference attendance, not IFS Institute Level 1 training or IFS certification. I do not present myself as an IFS therapist or Certified IFS Practitioner.
Additional preparation
Training and practice that also shape my work.
Crisis-response training
I completed Kids Help Phone's 36-hour Crisis Responder training and volunteered in its supervised text-based service. This was crisis support, not clinical counselling or psychotherapy.
IFS-informed study & peer practice
My ongoing independent learning includes materials and webinars from IFSCA, Life Architect, and Guthrie Sayen, alongside regular peer practice and IFS-informed reflection.
Mindfulness & communication
My practice is informed by ongoing mindfulness, meditation, breathing, and Nonviolent Communication learning and group experience.
Earlier education
Specialist Degree in Journalism, specialization in Radio Journalism, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 2016.
