Hello, my name is

Haroldas Petkus

Psychologist — therapist

Individual therapy

During our counselling sessions I invite you to share your current difficulties and past experiences, and my aim is to help get to know yourself better and to recognise behavior patterns, internal processes, to connect more with your feelings which will help change your state of being, to find a way out of difficulties and to find your answers. In my experience, what helps the most is a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, which reveals personal opportunities for growth and change.

In therapy sessions we explore what is important to you right now – any life difficulties, recurring problems and symptoms, past experiences, and feelings that arise during sessions. I’m also mindful of material from the unconscious – your dreams, images, bodily sensations.

When should you reach out?

Together with the help of a psychologist, we can better understand and accept ourselves and our feelings, solve problems, learn new ways of behaving, create and maintain interpersonal relationships, discover new direction and opportunities in life, change aspects of ourselves or let go of what is hindering us. Psychotherapeutic experience also increases our awareness.

I invite you to reach out when you experience difficulties in life:

— Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, loneliness
— The search for direction, meaning and fulfillment in life
— Internal conflicts, self-knowledge, perfectionism
— Relationship and communication problems, divorce
— Fears, compulsions, psychosomatic problems
— Low self-esteem and self-confidence, addictions
— Identity (personal, cultural, sexual)
— Other difficulties in life, traumas, crises
