I’m Rita Dekšnytė, an international psychologist and therapist based in the Netherlands. I use compassion-focused therapy, mindfulness and acceptance approaches to help my clients navigate mental health struggles, improve wellbeing and performance. At the heart of my practice at Tiptoe We Grow there is a universal wish to reduce suffering and help people flourish in their lives. I speak English and Lithuanian and am available for online individual therapy sessions, consultations and group training.

Training

I have trained in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and am currently training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I am a member of the Dutch Institute of Psychologists (NIP), as well as a certified mindfulness and compassion trainer with the Mindfulness Association (United Kingdom). I hold an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology from the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) and an MSc in Diagnostics and Interventions from the University of Leipzig (Germany).

Is it for me?

Therapy can help you understand yourself better, build valuable mental skills, and work more skillfully with life’s difficulties. If you would like to learn more about yourself, to befriend your mind and improve your abilities to deal with everyday challenges. I can help you:

• Be more present and grounded
• Regulate stress, anxiety and emotions
• Focus on what really matters
• Manage energy and motivation levels
• Set clear goals and move towards them
• Build a kinder relationship with yourself
• Be less caught up in ups and downs of life
