Jurgita Dobiliene, BACP, NCPS

Jurgita Dobiliene is a counsellor who uses an integrative, person-centred approach to help people facing midlife crossroads and related stresses. She draws on a blend of talking work and practical tools to help people make sense of anxiety, grief, low mood and shifts in career or identity. Jurgita has ten years of experience and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions.

She asks about what is happening day to day and about the patterns keeping someone stuck. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and on small, usable steps to get there. Mindfulness exercises and grounded breathing are offered to help with sleep problems, tension and racing thoughts.

Jurgita’s background includes healthcare work in oncology, which shaped her interest in psychological support alongside physical illness. That experience informs how she talks about caregiver stress, chronic illness and end-of-life concerns in therapy. She also supports people coping with cancer, chronic pain and related life adjustments.

Her practice uses mostly client-centred ways of working alongside emotionally focused methods and eye movement approaches when appropriate. These are woven together to suit each person rather than following a single formula. Sessions are collaborative, paced to the individual and aim to build clearer choices and steadier coping.

If the themes of midlife change, career strain, parenting pressures, or unresolved grief feel familiar, she invites a conversation to see if her way of working fits what you need.

Approaches used online and how they help

Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own solutions; it is useful for low mood, stress and uncertainty. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong feelings and attachment patterns, which can be useful for relationship strain and grief. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach that addresses distressing memories and trauma by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on emotion work, mindfulness practices, or trauma-focused techniques and can adapt the plan as progress is made.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because the original biography does not specify formats. Ask the therapist which session types are currently offered and how they schedule appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow use of guided breathing, mindfulness exercises and EMDR-style protocols without requiring a clinic visit.
