“Support in crisis and trauma, at your own pace”

Verified by Kyan

About Lelde

I am a clinical and health psychologist specialising in crisis and trauma psychology. I offer support in times of crisis, stress and burnout, relationship difficulties (including experiences of emotional or physical violence), personal challenges, identity-related questions and periods of significant life change. I also work with panic attacks and anxiety, boundaries, self-esteem, and habits, addiction and codependent dynamics. I see adults, and young people with their parents' consent.

I hold a master's degree in psychology from Rīga Stradiņš University (2023) and a professional bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Latvia (2016). Since 2025 I have worked as a psychologist at the crisis centre Marta, after working as a psychologist at Telus Digital Latvija and at the Latvian National Armed Forces Psychodiagnostics Centre. I am trained in EMDR at basic level 1 and in motivational interviewing, and I also work as an Employee Assistance Programme first responder.

Respectful collaboration matters in my work. I help you understand yourself, your emotions and your patterns of behaviour, so you can find psychological balance and inner stability. I also provide psychological support in English, for people in Latvia and for those living abroad.

How Lelde works

Counselling is joint work. Together we set goals and explore the situation, then look step by step for a way towards change. I use a client-centred approach and adapt the process to your needs, experience, resources and goals. I work in a crisis- and trauma-informed way, paying particular attention to safety and stabilisation, at your own pace. I also draw on EMDR and motivational interviewing. A consultation usually lasts 50 minutes, most often once a week.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Lelde works.

Person-centred therapy

Person-centred therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, starts from the idea that you are the expert on your own life. The therapist offers warmth, empathy and genuine attention without steering the conversation, so you can explore what matters to you at your own pace. Many people find it helps them feel heard and grow in confidence and self-understanding.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured method for working with distressing memories. While you briefly bring a memory to mind, the therapist guides you through bilateral stimulation such as eye movements or taps, which can help the memory feel less intense. It is best known for its use after traumatic experiences.

Motivational interviewing

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way of talking about change. It helps you explore your own reasons for and against a change, so the motivation comes from you rather than from pressure. It is often used for habits such as drinking, smoking or eating, and for health-related changes.
