Ana Schmidt

As a psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist in training, my work aims to create a safe space for the process of gradual understanding and processing of topics, in order to free oneself from old patterns and inhibitions, and to create space for new ways of thinking, feeling and relating to oneself, others and life in general. I completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology at the Faculty of Arts in Maribor, after which, to further my psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic knowledge, I decided to study for a Master's degree in psychology with a clinical focus at the International Psychoanalytic University (IPU) in Berlin. Since 2021, I have been in a postgraduate training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Slovenian Society for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (SDPP) - In 2025, I completed the four-year theoretical component of my professional training and am currently continuing with supervised clinical practice. In parallel, I work as a psychological counsellor at the POSVET Centre for Psychological Counselling. I have a private practice in which I provide psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults under the supervision of training analysts (International Psychoanalytic Association, IPA). My practice spaces are located in Ljubljana, Slovenia. I work with(in) the LGBTQIA+ community.
