Aiste Grubliauskiene PhD

I am an English-speaking clinical psychologist based in Brussels and Tervuren, working with expats,

international professionals, and individuals from multicultural background. I support people

experiencing anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, identity questions, and life transitions.

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and analytical psychotherapy. For psychological

trauma, I also offer EMDR therapy, which can help reduce distress connected to difficult or

overwhelming life experiences. I aim to create a therapeutic space that feels warm, collaborative,

and supportive.

I see each person as unique, with their own life story, emotional patterns, strengths, and creative

potential. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I try to understand the person as a whole —

including feelings, thoughts, bodily experiences, relationships, and ways of coping. Together, we

explore both conscious and unconscious patterns that may influence how you relate to yourself and

others.

In therapy, I do not position myself as the expert on your life. You are the person who knows your

experiences best. My role is to support you in exploring your inner world, gaining insight, developing

self-understanding, and discovering new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I offer both short-term and long-term psychotherapy.

Short-term psychotherapy focuses on specific or current difficulties, such as relationship conflicts,

work-related stress, or separation. It usually involves weekly sessions over a more focused period of

time.

Long-term psychotherapy is a deeper therapeutic process aimed at understanding and working

through long-standing emotional patterns and unconscious conflicts. People often seek this type of

therapy for concerns such as depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, feelings of emptiness, or

recurring emotional struggles. Sessions usually take place once or twice a week over a longer

period.

With more than 10 years of experience, I work with a wide range of concerns, including depression,

anxiety, burnout, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, anger,

panic attacks, stress, and questions related to meaning, belonging, and identity.

Originally from Lithuania, I have been living in Belgium for more than 17 years. During this time, I

have met and worked with people from many different cultural and professional backgrounds. Many

of the people I work with appear to function well externally while quietly carrying stress, loneliness,

self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion internally.
