About me
I work as a depth coach that has moved from Slovenia to Tuscany, Italy. This move has offered me a space to look at my own trans-generational and cultural conditioning and those insights (along with my educational and practical experiences in the field of personal development) had offered me a new lens that enriches the work with my clients, under the platform of "The Scapegoat Manifesto".
The most common themes that we work through in our sessions are: surviving narcissistic abuse, regaining our sense of power and integrity, reestablishing our boundaries and cultivating a heart-lead life.
In the depth coaching sessions, I offer a safe space as a:
-A fellow human who sees that psychological wounds are profoundly real, that they deserve our care and attention and that they, in them, hold the power and opportunity for transformation.
-A person who has been and is continually involved in the process of personal development and that recognises that there truly are other environments, systems and relationships out there that honour our humanity.
-A wounded healer who believes that change is possible through awareness, personal responsibility and integration.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
I offer depth coaching sessions where we explore the themes of the scapegoat archetype and other roles and patterns that, when unchecked, contribute to our dissatisfaction with our life.
In the depth coaching sessions we reflect on patterns, coping strategies, and the inherited roles or expectations that may keep us from fully connecting with ourselves and others.
The depth coaching sessions draw on both my studies and my personal experience of self-exploration through varied approaches, including psychodynamic, integrative, and transpersonal methods.
The main topics that I work on with my clients are:
-perfectionism,
-people-pleasing,
-dealing with a harsh inner critic,
-toxic shame and guilt,
-the role of the scapegoat and
-insecure attachment patterns.
*The individualized approach:
Because every individual's experience of his world is unique, I work with the premise of adapting the techniques to the individual and their specific needs.
