About me
Hi, I'm Jana, and I'm glad you are here.
I believe that the hardest part of the struggle is the feeling of being alone within it. We all need a place where the chaos of our lives can finally meet solid ground. I offer you a non-judgemental, compassionate space and a logical eye for the patterns that keep you stuck. Together, we’ll look at the "unspoken architecture" of your life and relationships, moving at a pace that honours your nervous system. You don’t have to have it all figured out to be here, only to be open to what might unfold.
I use my knowledge, experience, and ability to see you and your concerns in perspective to help you name what you've been feeling but can't quite articulate. Together we will co-create a space where you can be both vulnerable and strategic. I will gently support you in integration and your way forward.
I commonly work with burnout, relationship issues, self-regulation issues and highly sensitive individuals.
If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to book a discovery call so we can see if we are the right fit.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
Transactional analysisRecommended for those who want to understand and improve their interactions with others by exploring the roles they take on in relationships.
*Individual counselling*
My approach is goal-orientated yet flexible; I aim to follow your lead. While rooted in person-centred theory, I draw from various powerful therapeutic tools like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Transactional Analysis (TA) to best meet your needs. This means I'll tune into your perspective to help you understand different "parts" of yourself that might feel stuck and give you insight into your relational dynamics.
I work with individuals facing diverse emotional and relational issues, including attachment issues, burnout, depression, and more.
*Relationship counselling*
Every relationship offers an opportunity for growth; however, we can easily become stuck in unhelpful response patterns. To cultivate conscious relationships with healthy boundaries, it’s important to examine the needs and attachments that drive our emotions, thoughts, and actions. I am dedicated to helping couples bridge their understanding of each other and engage in more constructive dialogues. Through mediation, I create a safe space where both parties are heard. My approach aims to foster deeper connections, mutual respect, and lasting relationship satisfaction. The modalities I employ include Emotionally Focused Therapy, Imago Therapy, and Nonviolent Communication.
I am registered with the BACP and NIP.
