Something that happened
An accident, a loss, violence, war. One event, or a run of them that never quite settled.

Short answer
I work with teenagers from thirteen and with adults, in person in Sarajevo and online. Most often that is people after an accident, a loss, violence or war, people with panic attacks and phobias, and teenagers. Most of them have no diagnosis — they have something that takes up room every day, and that is reason enough.
A label is not a ticket. If you are waiting for someone to confirm that what you live with is "serious enough", that waiting is often part of the problem itself — because you are measuring your own experience against somebody else's.
What helps before a first call is not a diagnosis but one sentence about what concretely happens to you. "I cannot drive under an overpass." "I wake at three and cannot get back." "A colleague slams a door and I need half an hour." That is the material we work with.

Teenagers, 13–18
I meet parents once, at the start. After that the room belongs to the young person — and so does the pace.

Groups and workshops
Six weeks, six people at most. Stabilisation skills, not processing — a good place to start.

If I am not the right person
EMDR is not the answer to everything, and I am not the answer to everything within it. For these you get two specific names — not a link to a directory.
I will tell you that after the first call.
- Addiction and eating disorders
- Children under thirteen
- Active crisis, or needing a psychiatrist
- Couples and family therapy
The first step is twenty minutes on the phone
Mostly I listen, then I tell you honestly whether I am the right person for this. No charge and no commitment.
