I’m Martin Hirschbuehl, a psychologist and systemic family therapist. I offer counselling in English, German and Latvian, at my practice in Riga and online.
Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed, caught in recurring worries, or unsure how to move forward. Perhaps you and your partner keep having the same arguments or miss the closeness you once shared. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
I offer a calm, supportive space where we can make sense of what’s happening and find practical steps that fit your life. Whether you’re looking for individua therapyl or couples counselling, you’re welcome—both if this is your first experience of therapy and if you’ve sought support before.

About “mierīgi”
Making peace in life easy!
Mierīgi, (pronounced [‘mieri:gi]) is Latvian and means calm, quiet, peaceful, easy going. And this is exactly, what mierīgi and my support is about:
Relax, calm down, find inner peace and put the world in order!
You don’t have to know exactly where to start
Sometimes there is a clear problem. At other times, you may simply feel that something isn’t right: worries keep returning, relationships feel strained, or everyday life takes more energy than it used to. You don’t need a diagnosis or a fully formed goal to seek support.
Together, we can explore what is troubling you, recognise patterns that keep you stuck, and find manageable steps towards change. You can read more about support with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, or personal growth and finding direction.
Living abroad can add another layer of difficulty—from loneliness and cultural differences to feeling disconnected from familiar sources of support. As a German living in Latvia since 2015, I bring personal experience of life between cultures to my work with expats and international couples.
Our first meeting is an opportunity to talk about your situation, clarify what you would like to change, and see whether my approach feels right for you. We can then agree together whether and how to continue. You can explore my background, how I work, and session fees and conditions before deciding.
You’re welcome to get in touch to ask a question or arrange a first appointment. If you’d prefer to read a little more first, my articles and answers to common questions may help you find your starting point.
Online Consultation
Having trouble coming to my office?
No problem—I offer online consultations, so you can get support wherever you are. Online sessions work well for both individuals and couples.
Using effective therapeutic techniques, I ensure that online sessions are just as intensive and impactful as in-person therapy.

what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.
