Sanja Stefanovic
Registered Psychologist
I work with women and men who experience a range of difficulties, like anxiety, depression, grief and post-traumatic stress following different life challenges. I have a special interest in working with people in caring professions who may experience vicarious traumatization, compassion fatigue and burnout, pursuing their personal growth.
My approach to psychotherapy is person-centred, holistic and playful. It is informed by a range of therapeutic modalities, including attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, somatosensory approaches, Compassion Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy and Jungian Sandplay Therapy. Sandplay therapy is a powerful non-verbal therapeutic modality that activates psyche’s natural capacity for healing by symbolically expressing and processing conscious and unconscious feelings and experiences. It is creative, playful, deeply meaningful and safe.

I graduated with a BA in Psychology from the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb, Croatia. I have trained in Sandplay Therapy, first with a sandplay therapist Karen Daniel, and then with teaching members of ISST (International Society for Sandplay Therapy).
