Approach
In my practice, I create a collaborative and supportive space where you can explore your present experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Together, we focus on enhancing self-awareness and personal responsibility, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and working through unresolved issues. Through dialogue, experiential techniques, and in-the-moment awareness, we aim to foster your self-discovery and emotional growth, allowing you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your interactions with others.
Expertise
I am currently pursuing postgraduate professional training in psychotherapy at the Riga Gestalt Institute, specializing in Group Facilitation. Additionally, I am working towards an MSc degree in psychology, focusing on a major research project on the adaptation of Western psychotherapy methods in developing collectivist societies, following the curriculum of the British Psychological Society.
I have completed specialized courses at the University of Toronto and Yale University, including 'The Arts and Science of Relationships: Understanding Human Needs' and 'Addiction Treatment: Clinical Skills for Healthcare Providers.'
Beyond my academic pursuits, I serve as a 'Psychological First Aid' trainer at Red Cross Estonia and volunteer at the Suicide Reduction Helpline. I am also the co-founder of the Tallinn Group therapy Center, where I co-facilitate a recurring 8-week mindfulness training course, regular seminars on various psychological topics, and expats' emotional support walk-in meetings.
To stay updated and refine my skills, I regularly attend professional conferences and receive supervision from experienced colleagues. I am a member of The British Psychological Society, the European Association for Gestalt Therapy, and the Latvian Gestalt Therapist Association:
