Let’s get acquainted! My name is Enelis. I am studying family therapy at the second level and have begun my family therapy practice. This means that I study and practice at the same time—because that’s how one truly becomes more skilled. I am also supported by a mentor, so I have strong professional backing. Because of this, when you come to see me, you receive support on two levels.

I have worked for over 10 years in fields related to children and young people (e.g. the Child Helpline 116 111, the National Institute for Health Development, the Social Insurance Board) and have led teams focused on supporting people and fostering collaborative development. During my work with children and young people, I increasingly began to see and understand how important it is to recognize that there are always reasons behind young people’s challenging behavior, and that change also requires supporting their close ones and families.

In addition to my family therapy practice, I am the founder and a board member of the NGO Sa Suudad. The main focus of the NGO is the inclusion and advocacy of young people who experience or have experienced high-risk behavior, and through the NGO we increasingly aim to move toward a systemic approach (supporting families, close ones, and communities).

Over time, I have become increasingly curious about how relationships around us shape our well-being, choices, and identity, and I believe this is exactly what led me to train in family therapy.

I am also a member of the Estonian Family Therapy Association.

See you soon!
