Aiste Grubliauskiene, PhD, Clinical Psychologist

I am a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist in training, specializing in psychodynamic/analytical approach. My work is mainly based on Individual Psychology Psychotherapy (Adlerian). Some of its principles are: life is movement, therefore when we are stuck the aim is to return to movement; everybody needs encouragement; the person is as much healthy as her/his social feeling is. To reach healing, it is important for me to let a patient find his own resources by herself/himself, with a help of me, and to go into her/his past to shed light on parts that were not visible before. I offer psychological consultations, short-term (30-100 hours) and in-depth long-term (100-300 hours) psychotherapy. My work is regularly supervised by psychotherapists, and I attend courses and conferences on relevant topics to constantly improve as a professional.

I came to Belgium 17 year ago to get a doctor’s degree from Leuven University. I have explored and conducted experimental studies on the topic of human self-control in collaboration with mostly health psychologists across Europe. Before that, I studied clinical psychology finalizing with an internship at the department of psychiatric hospital for people struggling with anxiety and depression. I had some work based on cognitive behavioral therapy, gestalt therapy and sand tray therapy. From 2022 onwards I started my training in a psychodynamic/analytical approach.

Now I am counting 10th year of my private practice as a psychologist working in Tervuren and Brussels.
