I am a 26 years old psychotherapist under supervision living in Vienna, Austria. I come from an international background – being half English and half Croatian, having grown up in Malaysia and Thailand, and now living in Austria. This has allowed me to develop a strong inter-cultural awareness, which has defined me as a person in terms of the experiences I have made, the friends I have made, the food I enjoy, and the movies/series/books that I watch/read.

In the course of my professional development, I have completed psychosocial work at several institutions. At the online counselling platform “7 Cups”, I worked as an active listener with people (adults and teenagers) around the world who needed emotional support. I also provided psychosocial support for the homeless population of Vienna at two shelters, “Caritas Zweite Gruft” and “Caritas Haus Jaro”. Finally, I worked at the Outpatient Clinic of the Sigmund Freud University as an assistant registering patients for therapy, performing diagnostic tests with them, and writing the protocols of first interviews.

I have always been interested in psychology because the mechanisms of our minds translate to our perception of the world, i.e. everything we feel, see, and think, as well as the mere awareness of our existence comes from our minds. Psychotherapy (and more specifically, psychoanalysis) became my go-to profession because it allowed me to understand more about myself, i.e. the reason behind patterns in my thoughts and behaviours. This gave me the motivation to guide others to self discovery.
