Karla Knežević

Hello there! I am Karla, a counsellor-in-training with a background in clinical psychology and a passion for helping people navigate life. I grew up in Croatia, and continued my life in the Netherlands. For the past four years, I’ve been sharing my love for (clinical) psychology as a university teacher, but my journey didn’t start there. Before stepping into the classroom, I spent nearly five years volunteering as a counsellor at a child helpline in Croatia. I’ve also had the privilege of supporting mothers and children at a UNICEF refugee centre, and running psycho-social workshops for children in a care home. These experiences have deepened my belief in the power of human connection and support. I am now continuing my passion to work with people on an individual level. Small joys that enrich my life include having a nice walk, cooking and hosting friends, petting dogs and watching a good movie at the cinema. Looking forward to meeting you!
