About me

I am a trained psychologist from Zagreb, Croatia, and I specialize in child psychology and parent counseling. I have worked through most of my education (4 years) at a Children Helpline and currently am working as a Psychologist in a Kindergarten. I am also in my second year of training to become psychotherapist in Reality therapy and Theory of choice. Through my years at Children Helpline I attended various additional educations such as Anxiety in children; Parent counseling; Support for grieving child; Selected parenting topics; Abuse and neglect of children; Support for parents and children in peer conflicts; Self-harm and many more. I also studied ways to work on your Self-esteem, Self-respect, how to internalize Self-support so you can improve your quality of life. Since very young I have been more of a listener and observer, so my friends and people who I met confided in me and told me about their problems. And since I love helping people, that combined with curiosity for human behavior it was a no-brainer what my future calling would be. Other than psychology and counseling I enjoy nature walks, spending time with my partner, family and friends, reading books, good music, films and series and sports like running, recreative boxing and yoga.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
I view people as only controlled by themselves. That way people can change their behavior no matter at what point in life or what circumstances they find themselves in. I would say my approach is humanistic, although I do not dismiss the importance of subconscious patterns or life experiences, I think of them as a way of understanding and not determining oneself. I also have positive regard for my clients.
