Anni Kuusik

I am a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist working in Tervisekliinik and online. Over the years I have worked in different settings (schools, hospitals, psychiatric clinics and now I work in my private practice. I have worked with a variety of mental health issues, but I have especially focused on anxiety and mood disorders, self-criticism, but also unhelpful lifelong patterns (or schemas), which make us feel trapped in similar situations. Besides working with mental health, I have helped to find ways to cope, increase resilience and maintain well-being in difficult life situations like chronic pain, traumatic or stressful events, grief, infertility, loss, divorce or separation. I combine in my work cognitive behaviour therapy, schema therapy, mindfulness and compassion approaches. Outside my work as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist I teach 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion program and workshops, seminars and trainings in private and public organisational settings, colleges and universities.
