Welcome! I’m Vanja, and I’m glad you’re here. I believe that everyone has the potential to thrive and live a fulfilling life, even when things get tough. With a background in counselling I’m here to offer you a warm, understanding space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Life can be challenging, and sometimes it’s hard to navigate those rough patches alone.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, learning who you are for the first time or relearning after big life changes, intergenerational trauma, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here to support you. My approach is all about meeting you where you are and working together to find solutions that resonate with you. This is your space.
I use evidence based techniques such as person centered, dialectical behavioural therapy, strengths based, solution focused, gestalt, art therapy, mindfulness etc
