Artis Orbis , BACP

Artis Orbis trained as a counsellor and psychotherapist and has been devoted to this work for many years, beginning his journey 12 years ago. He supports people who feel different, are struggling with depression or anxiety, or who are searching for direction in life, and he offers a listening presence for those working through grief or simply needing to be heard in a supportive space.

Having lived in several countries including Belgium, Canada, India and Latvia, Artis brings a broad cultural awareness to his practice. Those experiences have deepened his appreciation for human complexity and for the different ways people make meaning in their lives. He practices in an integrative way, shaping sessions around each person’s history and current circumstances while orienting toward the client’s potential to live more authentically.

Artis draws on Jungian and depth psychology, person-centred methods and somatic ideas to help people recognise and change internal patterns that have become unhelpful. He often works with dreams, imagination and a client’s own perspective as resources in therapy, aiming to transform habits that undermine wellbeing into ways of supporting personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Practice

Client-centred therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance and the therapist’s non-directive support. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, which can help with issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship challenges.

Jungian therapy explores symbols, dreams and the stories a person carries. It invites reflection on deeper patterns and personal meaning, which can be useful for those working with identity, recurring relationship difficulties, or a sense of disconnection.

Mindfulness therapy introduces simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. It supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and emotional overwhelm by helping them notice thoughts and feelings without immediate judgment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Artis Orbis works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and sessions can adapt over time as circumstances change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, accessible support without requiring travel.
