Uros Rajakovic

Previously, I have worked with clients who have struggled with: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, trauma, relationships, chronic conditions and sexuality, as well as clinical mental health. Some of these struggles may be familiar to you. In my work, I listen to how these struggles (or any of life’s struggles) are real for you. That is, what makes them personal. I became passionate about working with chronic illness while working as a therapist at the UKUKS – IBD Patients Association. Treating people who were dealing with Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis (the two forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease –IBD) was, and still is, one of the most rewarding areas of my professional life. There are no words that can describe what it feels like to see a person turn small milestones into a new life with a new perspective and a newfound sense of control, in spite of having a chronic illness that they have no control over. The similar positive experience I got from working with patients with liver diseases (hepatitis B & C) or cancer.
