A Bit About Me
Hi and welcome! My name is Eszter Blind, and it is my mission to support people in a safe, non-judgmental space on their journey toward a life full of harmony, freedom and meaning. I am a licensed Clinical psychologist in Hungary and a registered psychologist in Europe, with 13 years of training and 6 years of work experience in a healthcare team of various professionals. With my recent transition to British Columbia, I have 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 work allowed me to help individuals, couples, families and groups of diverse backgrounds with a wide range of challenges and symptoms of different levels of severity. I mainly worked with concerns related to trauma, crisis, psychosis, substance abuse, personality disorders, interpersonal conflicts, stress, burnout, mood or anxiety, and provided support for the psychological aspects of (psycho)somatic or neurological conditions. My training covered evidence-based treatment approaches for a range of other issues as well (areas of e.g. eating, sexuality, identity, attachment and more). Supporting my practice, I also use a variety of interview techniques and psychodiagnostic assessment tools for a deeper understanding. My experience has taught me that genuine presence, validation, open communication and even the smallest steps toward healing can help your growth.
Besides integrating elements of cognitive-behavioural (CBT), mindfulness-based, psychodynamic, systemic/family-oriented and person-centred treatment, I have experience in using indirect methods, such as relaxation, symbolic, hypnotic, suggestive, imaginative (KIP) and other techniques. These allow a gentle way to understand and reach the root causes of your issues, which can accelerate the healing process and enhance the quality of your life. I am also deeply interested in non-verbal approaches (e.g. dance, art) and in becoming efficient in diverse methods for tailoring treatment to specific needs. Coming from a background of movement (dance and yoga), I became part of a wonderful circle, where I could experience true acceptance and celebration of each other’s uniqueness – an impactful mindset I adapted into my sessions. I believe in customizing treatment in a holistic approach to find the right solution specifically for you. 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. If you would like to work together or have any further questions, feel free to book an appointment or a free initial 15-minute consultation.
