I'm Migle, a psychologist working primarily through narrative therapy. I conducted research in behavioural science, spent years designing learning tools in education technology startups and graduated from Master's in Clinical Psychology. These experiences shaped my perspective on change as not something we just push for through mere willpower, but something that requires a shift in the story you tell about yourself. That combination means my sessions are grounded in real clinical training, but never feel clinical.
I grew up in Lithuania, studied and worked in the Netherlands and the UK, and lived in Portugal before returning home. That's given me a personal, not just professional, understanding of how identity shifts across language, culture, and place — and how disorienting it can be to feel like your story doesn't fit your surroundings anymore. Whether you're navigating a life transition, a move, or simply a version of yourself you no longer recognise, I bring both lived and psychological understanding of what it takes to author a new chapter.
I also write about narrative, identity, and the stories we carry — feel free to read my personal story on why I chose to study resilience across generations.

2025: Was awarded Master of Science in Clinical Psychology at London Metropolitan University, with a thesis analysing how intergenerational trauma—and resilience—are transmitted in families and entire communities. You can read my research paper on ResearchGate .
2025–2026: Trained in narrative therapy, maps of narrative practice, and externalisation at the Dulwich Centre, where narrative therapy originated.
Currently: I provide psychological sessions in my private practice, and run therapeutic groups on resilience in "Voices Unveiled" — an organisation supporting the education of women in Afghanistan. Also, I regularly write Letters from a Psychologist, my publication on Substack. I am a member of the Lithuanian Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association.
Every person comes in with a different story stuck on repeat — a relationship pattern, a professional identity that no longer fits, a version of "who I am" written by someone else's expectations. My work draws on narrative therapy: the idea that we don't just live our experiences, we interpret them through stories, and those stories can either trap us or free us. Rather than treating you as a set of symptoms, I help you notice the story you're in, question it, and rewrite it with more agency. In practice, this might include:
Sessions run 50 minutes and take place online, typically once a week or once a fortnight. Everything you share is confidential. Together, we build a plan that's structured but truly yours.
