Hi, I’m Guram, NIP-registered psychologist in the Netherlands. I bring my curiosity, authenticity, and multicultural experiences into my work. My background spans both medicine and psychology, and having lived in Georgia, the Czech Republic, and now the Netherlands, I’ve developed a broad understanding of people and the many ways they experience life.
I am drawn to the complexity of human behavior and the stories that shape who we are. I approach my work with openness, empathy, and a genuine desire to connect. I value honesty, reflection, and growth, and I am committed to being fully present with the people I work with.
I hold a bachelor’s degree from the University of New York in Prague and a master’s in counseling psychology from Webster Leiden. My training included supervised clinical internships with a broad and international client base, giving me tools to work effectively with individuals, groups, and complex emotional challenges.
I draw from a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, tailored to your unique needs and goals:
- Motivational Interviewing (MI): supporting readiness for change and strengthening motivation
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): practical strategies to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): tools for emotional regulation, resilience, and balance
- Psychodynamic therapy: exploring patterns, past experiences, and underlying emotions for deeper insight
- Humanistic therapy: fostering self-awareness and self-acceptance through empathy and unconditional positive regard, with a focus on personal growth
I have supported individuals navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and emotional patterns that feel stuck or overwhelming. I continue to participate in ongoing professional development, keeping my practice aligned with the latest scientific research and psychotherapy methods.
My role isn’t to tell you what to do, but to help you reflect, make conscious choices, and find strategies that work for you. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or deeper emotional patterns, our work together is about building understanding, insight, and practical change in your life.
