About me. International Psychologist Netherlands
Eindhoven, Veldhoven & Online

What has always fascinated me about psychology is that there is often more going on than we can see at first. A reaction that seems confusing may have a history. A relationship pattern that keeps repeating often has a story behind it too. It may have made sense at some point, even if it causes problems now. And behaviours that we judge ourselves for often make more sense when we understand where they came from. At the same time, I have always liked the practical side of psychology what we can actually do with what we learn. What can we change? What can we approach differently? What might make things feel more manageable?

Hello, I am Indre, an English and Lithuanian-speaking master psychologist.

Why did I choose psychology?

I take therapy seriously, but I don't believe therapy has to feel formal or intimidating. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can speak openly, without having to worry about being judged. I take the time to understand what you are experiencing and what might be behind it. I also keep learning and developing my skills through further training, supervision, and my own personal therapy.

About me as psychologist

My approach to problems

You don't need to be in crisis or have a clearly defined problem to ask for help. If something is bothering you or making life harder, that is reason enough to talk about it. I don’t see therapy as a way to make life perfect or get rid of all the difficult things that happen. Life will still have its ups and downs. What therapy can do is help you understand yourself better and find ways to respond to life’s challenges that feel more helpful. Therapy can help us understand how much of the way we live comes from our own choices, and how much we have learned from expectations, fears, or the roles we have taken on. Working through fears and past experiences can make it easier to make different choices and live in a way that feels more like our own.

Beyond my professional role

Psychology is a big part of my life, but I also really value the ordinary things outside of work. I love spending my free time hiking, traveling, or playing board games. I have always been curious about people and about how they see the world, and that curiosity definitely isn't limited to psychology. I enjoy learning, hearing how other people see things, and having conversations that go a little deeper than small talk.

A few things I want you to know

You don't have to know exactly what's wrong before coming to therapy. You don't have to tell me everything straight away. You don’t have to do therapy perfectly. There isn’t a right way to be a client. You can say “I don’t know.” Sometimes that’s the most honest place to start. And you don't have to agree with everything I say.
