My Background: 20+ Years in Social Work & Mental Health
Born in Bosnia (formerly Yugoslavia), I emigrated to Germany with my parents when I was two. In Germany, my lifelong curiosity about the human mind began, leading me to earn a Degree in Education and Media Psychology from the prestigious Freie Universität Berlin (Free University of Berlin).
For over twenty years, I worked as a social worker and educator with different clienteles and in different settings, supporting children, young adults, and adults through trauma and significant mental health challenges.

- Clinical HypnotherapyClinical Hypnotherapy is the application of hypnotherapy in a clinical setting. A hypnotherapist guides their client through a process of deep relaxation to arrive in a trance-like state by using verbal repition and mental imagry. Hypnotherapy aims to reach subsoncious memories, beliefs, coping strategies and desires to provide insight for individuals who may suffer from pain or anxiety, or assist idividuals to gain control over undesired bahviours. A clinical hynotherapist combines hypnotherapy with counselling or psychotherapy techniques, and can support clients with mood disorders, phobias, sleep disorders, and other mental health or behavioural challenges. Note: Clinical Hypnotherapy is distinct from Hypnotherapy. Each has different study requirements.
- Gastric Band HypnosisGastric Band Hypnosis is a non-surgical hypnotherapy protocol designed to help clients change their relationship with food by creating the subconscious experience of having a gastric band. Through guided hypnosis, the mind adopts sensations of reduced appetite and earlier satiety, supporting healthier eating habits and sustainable weight management. The process typically follows a structured multi-session program focused on behavioural change, emotional regulation, and long-term lifestyle support.
- Rapid Core Healing®Rapid Core Healing® (RCH) (previously Rapid Core Shift) is a therapeutic modality combining neuroscience, psychology, and energy healing techniques to facilitate rapid and profound emotional healing. Developed by Yildiz Sethi, RCH aims to address deep-seated emotional wounds, trauma, and limiting beliefs by accessing and reprogramming the subconscious mind. Through a structured process involving regression, integration, and somatic release, RCH helps individuals identify and transform the root causes of their emotional distress, leading to lasting change and empowerment. By working with the body's natural healing capacities and activating neuroplasticity, RCH supports clients in resolving past traumas, freeing themselves from negative patterns, and cultivating a sense of wholeness and resilience.
- Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)Co-founded by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970’s, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) enables us to understand how our brain processes the words we use and how that can effect our programming and behaviour. Engaging various tools and techniques, practitioners support clients with re-programming their neurology, language and actions. Rather than allowing thoughts to be passive, NLP techniques help to look at thoughts, feelings and emotions as things that may be controlled. Techniques can include things such as Imagery Training, NLP Swish, Modelling, Mirroring, and Incantations.
- Systemic / Family ConstellationsFamily Constellations, pioneered by Bert Hellinger, is an alternative therapeutic intervention rooted in Gestalt and psychodynamic therapy. It addresses family history, unrecognized dynamics, and dysfunctional patterns that affect individuals. Techniques like drama therapy, sand-tray therapy, and art therapy help clients confront and accept the factual reality of their past. Typically, participants stand in as family members in role-play scenarios, allowing clients to interact directly or observe from a higher perspective. The goal is to gain insights and develop new perspectives, resolving conflicts or familial patterns. Family Constellations are beneficial for identifying childhood patterns affecting the present, confronting deceased or unreachable family members, or understanding how family of origin influences current relationships.
