About me

Liucija Pliaukštaitė

Hi! I’m Liucija. I believe that being understood and truly seen is a healing experience. By cultivating awareness, we can embrace reality and, with that in mind, make the right decisions for the steps on your path. I follow the perspective that all your emotions are valid, informative, and therefore essential companions in your life.

I am a psychologist with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Groningen, Netherlands, where I have been living for 7 years. Since then, I have been surrounded by people from various cultures, which continues to expand my understanding of each person’s unique perspectives, values, and challenges.

My mission is to help people seeking emotional support, encourage self-discovery, foster compassion and self-acceptance, and create a life filled with authenticity, meaning, and peace.

I am interested in attachment theory, trauma, self-worth and meditation. At the moment, I am also guiding a Mindful Student group at Sedna Recovery Academy, which a safe space to heal and grow.

If you feel ready, we will dive into your depths together, explore them, and learn how to honor them! Get in touch.

I really appreciate that, first of all, she created a safe and cozy environment to share thoughts, explore my beliefs, feelings and various blocks that prevented development - this was my priority, because I have had some bad experiences. She used interesting techniques that surprised me and allowed me to look at everything more broadly, while finding my own answers. I constantly felt in the center of attention, I eagerly awaited these sessions, because I felt respected there, we constantly moved at my own pace. The most important thing is that after the sessions I know what to do next to achieve even greater results and go further. Lucija is a wonderful guide towards goals, who helps people find their own answers, leading them forward with support. Highest recommendations.
