My Approach

I offer a safe, open space where you can bring whatever feels difficult, uncertain or important in your life. You may be navigating challenges in relationships, feeling disconnected from yourself, searching for soulful work or exploring questions of spirituality, meaning and belonging. We begin with your experience and move at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in curiosity about your unique way of being in the world. Together, we explore your thoughts and feelings, while also listening to your body, sensations, intuition, dreams and imagination. These offer valuable ways of understanding yourself and finding resources for living with greater clarity, freedom and authenticity, and thus empower you to help yourself and come into a more harmonious way of being. There is space for the emotional, physical, social and spiritual dimensions of your experience. All of you is welcome, just as you are.

My own relationship with the Earth and waters deeply informs my work. For those drawn to this, I offer sessions in nature, where the surroundings become part of our exploration and support a deeper connection with yourself and the living world.

I also offer research and clinical supervision. Supervision with me is a collaborative, side-by-side exploration rooted in present experience. Together, we attend to what emerges in your work, including questions, uncertainties, relationships, emotional responses and embodied ways of knowing. We explore your presence and participation in the process, and how your own experience shapes your understanding and practice. My intention is to support you in developing your own voice and recognising your expertise, while remaining open to reflection and new possibilities.

I offer online and in-person counselling, with options for individual sessions, short-term support or ongoing therapy. Sessions are available in English, Slovenian, Serbian and Spanish. I am UKCP registered.

About Me

I am a counselling psychologist, psychotherapist, clinical and research supervisor with a doctorate in Existential Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy. My approach is existential-phenomenological, grounded in the here and now, bringing together deep relational exploration, multidimensional embodiment and connection with nature within and around us.

I believe we all have an inner knowing and a foundational connection with the natural world we live in. Nurturing these connections and integrating the different aspects of ourselves can help us find a sense of alignment and fulfilment, allowing us to flow through life with greater inspiration, openness and presence.

I finished a Doctorate in Existential Phenomenological psychotherapy and counselling (DcPsych). The title of my doctoral thesis is Becoming More Human: Phenomenological exploration of Embodied Emotional Awareness in Psychotherapy.

I believe it is our embodiment that allows us to deeply discover ourselves and truly meet another in an intimate relationship. When we come in touch and awareness of our emotions, intuitions, dreams we tap into a well of inner resources we have been gifted with in order to live a life that is meaningful, fulfilling and exciting to us.
