Trainee Psychotherapist

My name is Inga. I am a trainee psychotherapist. Born and raised in Lithuania, I moved to Northern Ireland in 2011 and have lived in County Armagh for the last twelve years. I have been married for thirteen years and am the proud owner of three cute dogs – Lota, Liepa and Dora.

For a long time now, I have been interested in human psychology. The way people behave and how the mind works has always fascinated me. My journey into the field started in 2006 when I joined Vilnius University (Lithuania) to study for a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Having been acquainted with the works of the existentialists such as Sartre, de Beauvoir, and Camus since I was fifteen, I was very intrigued when I first heard of existential psychotherapy during my studies. After exploring it in more depth and having undergone long-term therapy with an existential therapist myself, I chose to study this approach on my path to becoming a psychotherapist. Currently, I am enrolled in an Existential Therapy training course at the Institute of Humanistic and Existential Psychology, accredited by the European Psychotherapy Association (EPA). I work under the supervision of an experienced clinical psychologist and psychotherapist. 

I chose to pursue the existential therapy path, as its core pillars give a solid foundation for explaining our relationship with ourselves and the world around us. This framework encourages us to see the world as it is, take responsibility for our actions, and explore the choices that lie in front of us.

Therapy is like a focused conversation between two people, with professional boundaries – we will explore your thoughts, perceptions, emotions, and feelings, various aspects of your life, and how you choose to live your life. I work with anything that is of concern to you, including:
