Eszter Blind

Hi and warm welcome! It is my mission to support people in a safe, non-judgmental space on their journey toward a life full of fulfillment, freedom and meaning. My experience has taught me that genuine presence, validation, open communication and even the smallest steps toward healing can help your growth. I believe in true acceptance and celebration of each other’s uniqueness, which is a mindset I adapt into my sessions.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Hungary and a registered psychologist in Europe with 13 years of training and 6 years of experience working in multidisciplinary health teams. With my recent relocation to British Columbia, I have registered as a Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. In addition, with my training and credentials, I have also applied for registration with the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (formerly the College of Psychologists of BC), and I currently practice under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist. My clinical psychology training allowed me to acquire CBT-based, psychodynamic, family-oriented and person-centred methods, as well as several indirect techniques (e.g. symbolic, relaxation, imaginative and more), which I have used in my practice to help individuals and couples of diverse backgrounds with a wide range of mental health concerns.

I’ve mainly worked with trauma, which can appear in the background of most issues and have an impact on mental health. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, battling your emotions, or if past experiences keep repeating, affecting you or your relationship in the present, I can support you to unravel key elements and patterns to regain control over your life. My priority is tailoring therapy to your specific needs in a holistic approach, by combining elements of various methods. This allows a gentle way to reach the root causes of your concerns, accelerate growth, and enhance your quality of life. I focus on exploring your concerns and finding the right solutions together to achieve your goals.

Whether in person or virtually, I am dedicated to the creative collaboration that supports you on your journey, and to the utilization of your inner resources while relying on the expertise of yourself and your life circumstances.  I highly value your feedback along the way, to adjust techniques that actually work for you!
