I also work with people who are struggling in their work or career.
My approach is to listen carefully in a non-judgemental way, to understand you, and to help you to find ways to be happier and more satisfied. It's not my style to sit quietly and nod, but to be part of the process as you figure things out and make good decisions for yourself. I hope you will find me accepting, engaging, and challenging where appropriate.

Hello, I hope I can help. I trained in the Humanistic Integrative approach which means I work with each person as an individual, and can utilise different approaches to therapy. My aim is to work with you, focusing on what you bring to therapy, at your pace. Making the decision to contact a therapist is a big step, and I'd like to work with you in a confidential, supportive way to make this a positive step for you. If you are experiencing relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, bereavement (including pets) or just feel that you need someone outside of friends and family to talk to, please get in touch by email or phone.

Psikolojik Danışmanlık bölümünden mezun olduğumda elimde güçlü bir bilimsel harita vardı; fakat yolculuğumda asıl pusulam kalbim oldu. Başlangıçta geçmişe dönüp “neden böyle oldu” sorusuna cevap ararken, zamanla her deneyimin bana “ne öğretmek istediğini” keşfetmeye yöneldim. Bu arayış, beni yalnızca geleneksel psikolojinin sınırlarında kalmaktan çıkararak bilinçaltının derinliklerine, nörobilimin sunduğu açıklamalara, epigenetik ve DNA hafızasına, ThetaHealing ve kuantum fiziğin bakış açısına taşıdı. Böylece hem danışanlarımla hem de kendi iç yolculuğumda daha derin bir bütünleşme alanı açıldı.

Most are still functioning well, but something has started to cost too much: work will not switch off, a relationship is deteriorating, motivation has gone, or a career decision has stayed open for months.
I offer online integrative psychotherapy for burnout, anxiety, relationship problems, career transitions, overthinking and patterns tied to achievement or self-worth. Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent 18+ years in product and growth, including seven years running a consultancy and working with 100+ technology companies.

Everyone has times when things aren't going the way we might like. We can find ourselves anywhere from, a bit grey and unhappy, to, extremely dark and depressed, overwhelmed, stressed and spun out. Talking to someone can help.

I take genuine interest in my clients, like to engage openly and talk in a straightforward way, developing a strong working relationship, showing empathy and building trust. I am also a counsellor at UCL.

Starting therapy can feel like a step into the unknown. As we come to understand ourselves better and feel truly heard, it can also be deeply fulfilling. You may come with a particular concern, be struggling with difficult feelings that don’t have an obvious source, or you may simply want to live more fully. I offer an accepting and exploratory space, in which you can process your feelings and better understand your pain. Together, we can create meaning and elicit real change.

Perhaps your health, body or everyday life has changed, and you no longer feel quite like yourself. You may be adjusting to illness, a chronic condition, rehabilitation or lifestyle change—or experiencing burnout, low self-esteem, emotional difficulties or a major transition. You may also be Lithuanian but shaped by years abroad, feeling between cultures or more comfortable expressing yourself in English. You want to understand your experience, regain stability and make realistic changes that support your wellbeing.

I have trained in existential psychotherapy, and I apply this in my work with clients. The starting point is the experience of the client, to provide the opportunity for them to examine their understanding of life, and the problems and dilemmas they face; to reassess their goals and desires. It provides an opportunity to consider how their choices have been constrained, perhaps by the views and expectations of others, but also by constraints rooted in our society. Understanding can lead to questioning, and growth, possibly in new directions.

There are times in everyone's life when things can feel overwhelming. At others, we can find ourselves repeating unhelpful or destructive patterns in our behaviour or relationships. At these difficult, and sometimes very distressing times, therapy can, quite literally, be a life-saver. For others, therapy can be an exciting and challenging space for personal development, growth and exploration. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 20 years. I work in both the NHS and as a consultant in Private Practice. I am also a senior tutor at the Minster Centre a pre-eminent training organisation for Psychotherapists.

You may be at a crossroads, feeling stuck, or uncertain. Perhaps you're carrying anxiety, struggling with your inner critic, navigating a life transition, or processing loss. It may seem you're functioning well to the outside world, but internally, you've noticed a persistent tension, exhaustion, or a sense of disconnection from life and yourself, both in your mind (thoughts) and body (emotions). If you're here, you're seeking more than a quick fix. You want a greater understanding of yourself, your patterns, clarity on your values, a sense of purpose, and alignment with more fulfilling and meaningful experiences and connections.

Career Guidance Counsellors
How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.

Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.

How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.

How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
