About me

I have always felt drawn to understanding people and their inner worlds, which is why psychotherapy feels less like a profession and more like my calling. After completing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, I continued to deepen my path through training in Gestalt therapy. This approach resonates with me because it values authenticity, presence, and the belief that real change comes through new experiences rather than abstract knowledge. In addition to my private practice, I am currently employed at a psychiatric clinic where I provide psychological assessment, education and psychotherapy to patients facing a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression and personality disorders. My clinical work has a special focus on various forms of addiction, from substances (alcohol, drugs, pills), to behavioral dependency (gambling, pornography, social media etc.). In this setting, I've learned to appreciate how complex each person's story is, and how important it is to approach with empathy and respect. My own long-term journey in therapy has been just as important as my professional education. It has taught me to face vulnerability with courage and to see struggles as meaningful opportunities for growth. This lived experience allows me to meet my clients not only as a therapist, but as someone who understands the challenges of navigating relationships, self-doubt, and change. I aim to bring warmth, curiosity, and honesty into every session, creating a space where clients can feel supported and safe to explore themselves. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, and learning languages. Humor is also an essential part of who I am - both in life and, at times, in my therapy sessions, where it can open space for connection and relief. I would also describe myself as a bit of a psychology nerd, always eager to dive into new ideas and perspectives. At the moment, I am learning German, and one of my goals is to perfect at least one more language, as I see language itself as another way of connecting deeply with the world and with others. My practice is currently located in Belgrade as well as online.

Approach

Treatment Approaches

Sex therapyRecommended for individuals or couples who want help improving their sex life, intimacy, or overcoming sexual issues in a supportive environment.
My therapeutic style is relational and grounded in Gestalt therapy. I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship we create together—it becomes the space where real exploration and change can happen. In our sessions, I invite you to slow down, notice what’s happening in the present moment, and pay attention not only to your thoughts but also to your feelings, body, and the way you relate to me. This kind of awareness often opens up new insights and choices. I don’t come with ready-made solutions. Instead, I see therapy as a shared journey where I offer support, curiosity, and gentle challenge. Together, we can explore both the difficulties and the resources you carry within you. I pay special attention to moments of resistance, shame, and vulnerability - because I see them as meaningful signals, not obstacles. Having gone through my own therapeutic process, I know how much courage it takes to enter this work. I want to create a safe space where you can meet yourself more fully, connect to your needs, and learn to embrace different parts of who you are.

Experience

I currently work as a psychologist and psychotherapist at a special psychiatric hospital in Belgrade, where I support individuals facing psychological and addiction-related challenges through psychotherapy, psychodiagnostic assessments, and family consultations. Alongside this, I’ve been providing psychotherapy in private practice since 2022, working with clients from diverse backgrounds both in person and online. My approach is rooted in Gestalt therapy, with influences from integrative counselling and psychodynamic perspectives. Previously, I gained experience at the Institute of Mental Health in Belgrade, working with children and adolescents, and during my MA studies, I provided individual counselling to students of various cultural backgrounds at the Community Counselling Centre in Thessaloniki.

Education

I hold a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of York, CITY College, where I graduated with distinction. My academic training included a practicum focused on integrative counselling approaches and clinical experience with diverse clients. I completed a Gestalt psychotherapy training at Gestalt Studio Belgrade (EAPTI-SEB) and therefore became a certified gestalt therapist. This programme has deepened my therapeutic practice through experiential learning and intensive personal development. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the Faculty of Media and Communications in Belgrade.
