Her practice draws on Narrative approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas. Sessions involve talking through the stories that shape current problems, noticing values that matter, and testing new ways of coping.
Techniques come from other methods too, including cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred listening, so each plan is tailored to the person in front of her. Akvile has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and has been involved in mental health projects aimed at vulnerable groups. She is comfortable working in English and Lithuanian and accepts international clients.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Akvile uses Narrative therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach looks at how past events and labels shape present choices and helps people try out different ways of understanding their lives. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain. Attachment-based ideas are used to explore how early relationships influence patterns of feeling and relating today, which can be useful for repeating relationship or trust issues. Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together you can test what feels most useful and adjust the plan as you go. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you see facial cues and work more closely through exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on your goals.Common questions about this listing
