Ukrainian Psychologists' Day is celebrated every year on 23 April. On this day we greet practising and school psychologists, psychotherapists, military psychologists, crisis counsellors and psychology lecturers. During the war their work has become especially important: they support soldiers, veterans, children and everyone coping with loss or stress. Below are short Psychologists' Day wishes, thank-you words from clients, messages for colleagues, formal texts, poems and gift ideas.

Psychologists' Day poems

You listen with your heart and mind,
You find the light in darkest days;
May peace and joy be yours to find
And kindness meet you on your ways!

You heal the soul without a pill,
With gentle words and patient care;
May life be bright and calm and still
And happiness be always there!

Gift ideas for a psychologist

Psychologists appreciate gifts that help them recharge: a massage or spa voucher, good tea, a cosy blanket, a psychology book. Flowers are a universal thank-you: soft hydrangeas and roses in pastel tones create a calm atmosphere in the office.
