Hi, I’m Andreja. Pleasure to virtually meet! Below, there are few words to hopefully give you an impression of who I am and the way I work.
I’ve always been a people person. Not in the small-talk, surface-level way, but in the let’s sit and really talk kind of way. I’ve always been drawn to deep conversations, vulnerability, self-discovery, dreams, and a little bit of magic. For me, counselling became the natural home for all of that. It is a way to keep exploring the human experience while holding space for others to do the same.
Looking back, I can see how much of this is shaped by my own life. There were times when I lacked a steady adult presence, someone to console me, encourage me, or simply say, “I’ve got you.” I learned to survive, to keep going, and eventually to become that adult for myself. That journey was not always comfortable. I have faced fear head-on, danced with the dark parts of life, and discovered just how determined I can be.
But I also learned that survival is not enough for me. I want a full, thriving life, and I want to keep finding what that means. My curiosity has taken me around the world, into conversations with people from all walks of life, and into places that stretched my understanding of myself and others.
I have been doing this work for almost a decade now, and in that time I have learned that everyone has a story worth hearing. Every single one has touched me, shaped me, and reminded me how deeply human we all are. This is not just my profession. It is the way I move through the world.
Thank you for reading my story. If it resonates with you, I would be honoured to hear yours.
