Family therapist in Tartu |
Katrin Tint
I have always had a deep interest in people and relationships. I have looked for answers within myself, in conversations with family, friends and colleagues, in books and films, and eventually arrived at the systemic approach to life and family therapy. I have studied educational sciences, psychology, family therapy and emotionally focused couples therapy, worked as a social pedagogue and school psychologist in two general education schools and as a psychologist in two private clinics, and today I have reached professionally the place I have dreamed of – I am a family and couples therapist in my own private practice, as well as a lecturer and trainer.
I am a happy person, because my profession is also my hobby. I really enjoy talking with people and reading professional literature, and I consider continuous development important. I like variety and novelty; I always have several projects going at the same time. In my free time, too, I enjoy everything to do with people, relationships, health and well-being – good company with tasty food and meaningful conversation, an exciting book with a morning coffee, playing tennis and dancing, travel and adventure, theatre, art and music. I am married; ours is a blended family in which two sons are growing up.
"From the very first meeting with Katrin I noticed her dedication. She is professional, honest, empathetic and human. I value her greatly and feel that our work together has improved my self-image; I know how to set boundaries and stand up for my own well-being"

INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY
If you feel that there have become too many problems and, despite your efforts, you do not feel well, individual psychotherapy can help you find solutions.
COUPLES THERAPY
Couples therapy suits both those who are only starting out on their shared journey and those whose relationship has reached a dead end but who have not yet lost hope of saving it.
FAMILY THERAPY
Family therapy is a systemic therapy that looks at a family’s problems in the context of relationships – how the quality of relationships affects family members, their relationships with one another and their behaviour.
TRAINING
I run training sessions and workshops on a variety of psychological topics. Training helps us understand ourselves and others better.
