About Me
I am a Glasgow based art psychotherapist. In my practice I focus on creating a safe space for a person’s journey of self-discovery, and nurturing of self-esteem, and resilience.
Having grown up in Lithuania, surrounded by forests and steeped in Baltic folklore, from a young age I was fascinated with art, nature, people and their stories. This is where I found meaning and joy, and it led me to art therapy.
I hold an MA degree in Art Therapy from the University of Hertfordshire and a BA (Hons) in Philosophy from the University of Glasgow.
About My Art Therapy Practice
In my practice I seek to find ways of expression that feel good, seem natural and are inspiring for the person I work with. Besides traditional visual arts, we may use mindful breathing and movement techniques, poetry, or step outside to work with natural materials.
My practice is person-centred and psychodynamically informed. It is rooted in respect for the individual and seeks to make meaningful links between person’s past and present experiences thus deepening self-knowledge and allowing for change to take place.
I have experience supporting people in a variety of settings, including community centres and schools, as well as depression and addiction treatment centres, offering individual, dyadic and group art therapy sessions for adults and young people.
