Are you a psychology student, psychologist, medical professional, or someone working in the helping professions? Join us for an inspiring 3-day introductory workshop in existential psychotherapy.

This event invites those interested in psychotherapy – both professionals and students – to explore the existential approach in theory and practice. Prof. Paulius Skruibis will offer a theoretical introduction to existential psychotherapy, followed by an experiential group process, providing a direct encounter with its core principles: presence, dialogue, and the mutual exploration of existential issues.

Prof. Paulius Skruibis is an existential and group psychotherapist based in Vilnius. He teaches at the Institute of Humanistic and Existential Psychotherapy (HEPI) in Birštonas and is a professor at the Department of Clinical Psychology at Vilnius University. He currently serves as President of the Eastern European Association for Existential Therapy.


We are especially inviting:

Psychology students and psychologists considering a career in psychotherapy

Medical professionals (doctors, psychiatrists, nurses) seeking to deepen the humanistic aspect of their work

Counselors, social workers, coaches, and other helping professionals who wish to bring a deeper existential perspective to their practice


If you’re thinking about joining our upcoming English-language psychotherapy training groups, this workshop is the perfect introduction to discover whether this path aligns with your goals and values.
