ABOUT ME
I am a certified clinical (medical) psychologist, psychotherapist and supervisor, as well as a certified mindfulness teacher and supervisor. I have been working in the fields of psychology and psychotherapy for more than a decade, drawing primarily on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Schema Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches in my clinical practice.
Throughout my professional career, clinical practice has always been closely intertwined with academic work. I am an Associate Professor and researcher at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, where I conduct research, teach, and collaborate with colleagues in Lithuania and internationally. I also teach in postgraduate psychotherapy programmes and provide supervision to both psychotherapy trainees and practising psychotherapists.
I believe that psychotherapy should be grounded not only in professional experience, but also in current scientific evidence and continuous professional development. For this reason, I regularly participate in international training and supervision, and aim to integrate my clinical and academic experience into an individualised approach to each person I work with.
