Individual psychological counselling is a safe space to carefully explore your difficulties, thoughts and feelings, to understand, how you came about to be where you are now, and to find where to go next.
I provide individual psychological counselling services for adults who face various life difficulties, difficulties adjusting to life changes, experience stress, anxiety and relationship problems. I also work at Vilnius university as a researcher in suicide prevention and I am interested in specialised therapies for those thinking about suicide or bereaved by suicide.
I have spent 4 years studying and working in Australia and returned to Lithuania in 2016. I speak fluent English and feel comfortable providing counselling in this language.
About me
In 2016 I defended my PhD at the Australian Insititute for Suicide Research and Prevention, Griffith University. I spent 4 years there, researching impulsivity of suicide attempts, the suicidal process and stigma associated with suicidality.
In 2005-2011 I studied at Vilnius University and graduated with a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology.
In addition to working in private practice, I am a lecturer and researcher at the Vilnius University. In also worked as a psychologist at the Vilnius City Mental Health Centre, Suicide Prevention Department. From 2012 I spent four years in Australia and during my PhD I worked as a researcher at the Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention. Before that, in 2009-2012, I worked as a psychologist at the Vilnius Addiction Treatment Center. I also was a volunteer and later supervisor at Child line.
I constantly attend training and seminars in psychology and psychotherapy. I am interested in psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural approaches, as well as specialised therapies to those who think about suicide. I am one of the ASIST instructors in Lithuania (https://www.livingworks.net).
