About Us
OUR CONTRIBUTION
Our goal
To promote psychological well-being in society, advance the Gestalt approach, and provide opportunities for professional practice, supervision, and professional development for specialists in the helping professions.
To create a safe and authentic space for connection, where people can reconnect with themselves and others, while specialists in the helping professions can develop professionally in a supportive and ethical environment.
We combine contemporary Gestalt practice, professional supervision, and the educational process, making psychological support accessible, responsible, and human-centred.
We see CONTACTA by Baltic Institute for Psychotherapy as a next-generation space where:
- Interaction between people and specialists in the helping professions is clear, accessible, and free from stigma.
- Education and practice are integrated into a living process
- Professional growth is supported by the community and supervision.
- Clients experience safety, respect, and the right to be themselves
In the long term, CONTACTA is:
- An entry point to high-quality Gestalt support
- A platform for the development of mature professionals
- Part of the sustainable ecosystem of the Baltic Institute for Psychotherapy, the PSYPHY Centre, and the Baltic Association for Psychotherapy
- Contact
We believe that change happens not through pressure, but through genuine contact — with oneself, with others, and with reality.
- Safety
Safety means boundaries, ethics, and supervision. We create conditions in which it is possible to be vulnerable without risk.
- Responsibility
Every consultation process is accompanied by professional responsibility, regardless of the specialist’s stage of professional experience.
- Development
We support growth — of the client, the specialist, and the community. Development is a journey, not a result.
- Humanity
We accept every person as they are. We work with living human processes, not labels.

It is this combination that makes our approach sustainable, transparent, and honest:
-

Our Principles
Practical experience with professional support
CONTACTA is a platform where specialists’ practical work is organised. The practice is carried out with the participation of the PSYPHY Association, which provides organisation and coordination of the process, as well as support for the delivery of consultations. Specialists’ professional training is linked to the educational programmes of the Baltic Institute for Psychotherapy.
A Gestalt approach and regular supervision using anonymised information.
The work takes place within clear professional and ethical boundaries, respecting the client’s safety, privacy, and choice.
CONTACTA consultations are not a medical service and do not replace medical treatment.
Dialogue, voluntary participation, and responsible collaboration.
Our team
A team dedicated to supporting you
Our team brings together Gestalt practitioners who are currently undergoing professional training, Gestalt therapists — professionals who have completed their training and are in the process of establishing their professional practice — as well as experienced supervisors who support practitioners in their work and create a space for professional support and development.
The Core Principles of Our Work
We structure the consultation process to make space for you, your experience, and your choices.
-
Your pace We do not rush the process and adapt the pace of our work to your needs.
-
Freedom of choice You can talk about what matters to you, ask questions, and disagree with your specialist.
-
A clear framework for collaboration Consultations take place within clear, agreed-upon guidelines regarding time, boundaries, and collaboration.
-
Independence, not dependence Our goal is to help you better understand yourself and your choices, rather than make decisions for you.
