Online somatic therapy in English & Serbian
Nervous-system-informed counselling and Somatic Experiencing®, held over video from Sweden, with in-person sessions in Stockholm too.
Two languages, one nervous system
I completed a Master's degree in Psychology and my training in body psychotherapy in Serbia and I now live and work in Sweden. That means I can meet you in English or in our shared language, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian or Montenegrin, whichever you call your own and switch mid-sentence if that's where the truth is.
For people living abroad, this matters more than it sounds. Describing grief, shame or homesickness in a second language can quietly flatten it. Being able to drop into your mother tongue often lets something land that had been circling for years.
Moving country and becoming a mother taught me a good deal about how the nervous system responds to upheaval. If you're building a life somewhere new, you won't have to explain that part from scratch.

What an online session is like
We start where you are, sometimes with words, sometimes with what your body is already doing. I might invite you to notice your breath, the weight of your feet, a tightening in your throat, or an impulse to look away. We follow that at a pace your system can tolerate, which is usually slower than the mind would prefer.
Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we use imagination, gentle movement or breathing to reach something words alone can't. You stay in charge of what we approach and how far we go; nothing is pushed.
Towards the end we make sure you're settled enough to close the laptop and step back into your day, one of the quiet advantages of working from home rather than travelling back from a clinic.
Questions about working online
Does somatic therapy really work over video?
Yes and often better than people expect. Somatic work depends on your attention to your own sensation, breath and movement and that travels perfectly well through a screen. You're also in your own space, which means the steadiness we find is built where you actually live, not only in my room.
Why does the language matter so much?
Emotion is often stored in the language it was formed in. Clients frequently find that a feeling has precise words in their mother tongue and only approximate ones in English, or the reverse, that English gives a useful bit of distance. We can move between the two whenever it helps. If you speak Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian or Montenegrin, we share a language and nothing will be lost in translation.
What do I need on my side?
A private space where you won't be interrupted, headphones if the household is busy, a stable connection and enough room to shift position or stand up if your body wants to move. That's genuinely all.
I live outside Europe, is that a problem?
Usually not. I work from Central European Time and can often find a workable slot. Tell me your time zone when you write and we'll see what's realistic before you commit to anything.
Can I see you in person instead?
Yes. While most of my work is online, I also offer in-person sessions in Stockholm. If you'd prefer to meet face to face, mention that when you book the introductory call and we'll arrange it.
