“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth.
Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.”
― Abraham H. Maslow

My name is Agne Kiznyte, I am a qualified psychotherapist and an active member of Lithuanian Psychological Association (LPA). I currently work in my private practice where I meet a variety of different people and facilitate personal processes that I am passionate about.

My core training is in Psychosynthesis therapy, a transpersonal model that is aimed to understand your individual life experience and its effects in the here and now. To find out more about Psychosynthesis counselling press here.

Before discovering counselling I studied Economics and worked in a private business sector for a number of years. However, only the discovery of Psychosynthesis and my own inner process in therapy helped me find more satisfying answers to my own questions about life, human psyche and meaning. I lived and studied abroad and this experience helped me understand the universality of issues that people face and experience first hand what it means to be a part of different cultures.

“To fully relate to another, one must first relate to oneself.”
– Irvin D. Yalom
