About me

About me

I’m an English-speaking British counsellor and Reiki healer in Stockholm, Sweden. My cultural backdrop is British Croatian, with a late diagnosis of ADHD.

I have worked within mental health and wellbeing for 30 years, and in private practice since 2010. I have also previously worked as an outreach and school counsellor. I now work one-to-one with teens and with adults.

I also work as a supervisor, qualified in early 2026, but with experience in both individual and group peer supervision since 2020. 

I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This means that I work within their Code of Ethics. I have current insurance to practice counselling and supervision with clients around the world, and my registered VAT (MOMS) number in Sweden is SE770116138701.

I have a particular interest in the impact of difference, whether cultural, relating to faith and belief, or individual e.g. neurodivergence such as ADHD, autism, PDA, giftedness or sensory sensitivities; mental health problems; or gender, sexual or relationship diversity.

I also work with issues relating to life transition points, and their impact on relationships with self and others. These transitions might include:

  • Identity including questions around your gender or sexual identity, whether you have ADHD or autism, age-related changes (menopause/andropause), or issues around the twin relationship
  • Life changes like marriage, parenthood, or relationship breakdown
  • Start or end of life, birth, loss, and death
  • Loss of faith or uncertainty surrounding end of life

Transitions can result in existential crisis, where everything you once assumed or expected in life, has been lost. You may feel uncertain or afraid, or wondering, what is my purpose?
