About me

Hi! I grew up in Lithuania, but now my home is Portugal. I work with the clients who speak English, Russian and Lithuanian. I am used to travel around the world and I can feel the pain of people who are moving abroad and building their lives from scratch. I work online and in-person in Lisbon. What I value a lot in my life is: - freedom of choice - growth - learning, studying - Active lifestyle - travelling, doing sports - Profound supportive relationships - humor - it unites people What do I work with? - emigration and adaptation to a new country EMOTIONS: - difficulty to express emotions - acceptance of your emotions RELATIONSHIPS WITH PARTNER: - conflicts, break-ups, loneliness, dissatisfaction RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS: - loneliness, no trust in others -difficulty to express opinion/ to disagree, - relationships with parents/ relatives - dependency on the opinion of others SELF-ESTEEM & RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOURSELF: - lack of self-confidence - your needs, values, goals, priorities - self-compassion and support in difficult times PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: - decision - making - effective management of your time - difficulty to achieve goals - search for new meanings in life WORK-RELATED ISSUES: - career change and development - relationships with the team - dissatisfaction with the current job - professional burnout ( fatigue, stress) - procrastination and perfectionism

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
Mostly, the calendar shows my availability for online sessions. Please inquire time slots availability for in-person sessions via private message. (1) I work with adult individuals (45€/ online session, 65€/ in-person session) Important: I would like to encourage my future clients to contact me and discuss therapy session price in case of high motivation/ high need for psychological support and financial limits for therapy. (2) While working with clients, I apply the ideas of Existential therapy, Client-centered approach, solution-focused brief therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally focused therapy. I believe in relevance of taking responsibility for the life itself. Together with the client I accept risks, learn from failures and still move forward. I believe that the client himself has the answers for his questions, although it takes courage and time to notice things and to go for changes. (3) The session is considered booked only after the client has paid for it. (4) I kindly ask to cancel/ re-schedule/ pay for the session at latest of 1 day (24 hours) before session. (5) The full fee will be charged for all sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. No refunds are payable for booked but unattended sessions with less than 24 hours notice. (6) I do not counsel minors, clients with any disorders and drug/alcohol addictions.
