Frequently asked questionsWhen we learn to recognize automatic thoughts and become aware of how certain behavioral patterns develop and are maintained, it becomes easier to learn new ways of thinking, cope with life’s challenges and build a better relationship with ourselves.
This is a process we go through together - gradually and safely.
The word “cognitive” refers to thoughts, perception, memories, beliefs and interpretations of everything around us, even when we are not aware of them.
The word “behavioral” refers to behavior.
Through individual support, we work with both how we think and how we behave so that we can feel more satisfied, function better and live a more fulfilled life overall.
CBT has proven effective for many psychological difficulties and disorders. The focus of psychotherapy may include depression, anxiety disorders (panic, social anxiety, fear of public speaking, health anxiety), obsessions and compulsions, PTSD, low self-esteem, stress management, irritability and anger, burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, social skills and relationships. Cognitive behavioral techniques can also be applied to many other areas of personal development.
For psychological difficulties and disorders. Evidence-based psychotherapy that can help you get better and stay better.
For problems, stress, relationships and life situations where you need a safe space for conversation, learning and support.
For developing emotional resilience, more conscious attention and a better relationship with yourself and life.
Developing the capacity to lead people, relationships and decisions well in a complex environment.
Support for leaders focuses on building their inner capacity, which is why better performance often appears as a natural result.
Research in psychology, neuroscience and leadership development shows that one important step toward change is understanding how our brain works. When we better understand how stress, emotional reactions, behavioral patterns and habits develop, it becomes easier to build new ways of thinking, communicating and making decisions.
When a room has been dark for a long time, we often move automatically, blindly, stumbling over the same things again without understanding why it keeps happening.
PsihoEdukacija brings more clarity and understanding.
For more than 15 years, I have worked as an HR and leadership consultant, helping individuals and organizations face challenges related to relationships and organizational culture.
I hold degrees in psychology and business economics. My work connects behavioral science, business consulting and individual support so that change can be sustainable and applicable in everyday life.
When challenges are deeper and more complex, I connect leadership and HR consulting with cognitive behavioral methods so that we work both with visible behaviors and with the patterns behind them that make change more difficult.
I support individuals, leaders and teams facing stress, pressure, change, burnout or challenges in communication and collaboration.
I have worked with regional and global organizations across different industries, including IT, FMCG, life sciences and management consulting. In my everyday work I focus on people development and organizational culture, as well as employee integration in M&A processes.
I am a member of the Croatian Association for Behavioral-Cognitive Therapies and the Croatian Psychological Chamber, a trainee in cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, and I lead PsihoEdukacija.
I would be glad to explore how we can work together.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most researched and effective psychotherapy approaches. CBT helps people understand the connection between thoughts, emotions and behavior. It is practical, develops concrete skills and involves the client actively.
The goal of therapy is to learn to recognize patterns that burden you and develop healthier ways of coping with life challenges.
CBT can help with anxiety, stress, panic attacks, low mood, low self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, relationship difficulties, grief, life changes and many other challenges.
You do not need to have a “big problem” to seek support. Many people come to therapy because they want to understand themselves better, improve relationships or learn healthier ways to cope with everyday pressures. CBT helps you gradually become your “own therapist.”
The first session is primarily a chance to get to know each other. We talk about what brought you to therapy, how you currently feel, which challenges you are facing and what you would like to change or understand better.
You do not need to have prepared answers or tell everything about yourself right away. It is enough to come with what feels important now. The pace of therapy is adapted to you, your needs and your sense of safety.
The length of therapy depends on the topic we work on, your goals and your life circumstances. CBT is structured and focused on specific problems, so many people notice initial shifts after a few sessions.
Psychological counselling usually lasts up to 10 sessions, while psychotherapy for most emotional difficulties and disorders, such as depression and anxiety, often lasts around 20 sessions, most commonly once a week.
It is not necessary to go through your entire past in detail if that is not useful for your current problem. CBT mostly focuses on what is happening now: how you think, feel and respond in everyday situations.
Still, sometimes it is important to understand earlier experiences so we can better connect patterns that repeat today.
Yes. In CBT, short exercises, notes or practical tasks are often used to help apply what we discuss in therapy to everyday life.
No. Seeking help is a sign of courage, responsibility and a wish for change. Therapy can be a space where you get the opportunity to pause, understand yourself and learn a different way to care for yourself.
It is important that you feel safe, heard and respected with your therapist. A good therapeutic relationship is based on trust, collaboration and the feeling that you can be authentic.
Yes, CBT can also be delivered online. Online sessions can be just as structured, safe and focused on specific goals as in-person sessions.
Yes. CBT is one of the most researched forms of psychotherapy. Many studies show that it can bring relatively quick results, and over the long term it has proven effective because achieved results can be maintained after therapy ends.
The way you manage your own stress, emotions and pressure as a leader often shapes how your entire team functions. When you operate under high pressure for a long time without room for recovery and reflection, the consequences often show up in relationships and the quality of collaboration.
Many leaders develop the ability to function under pressure for a long time, but this often comes at a cost: increased stress, emotional exhaustion and a constant sense of pressure.
When a leader has no space for reflection and support, it becomes easier to slip into “survival mode.” Support for leaders is therefore not a sign of weakness, but an important part of sustainable and responsible leadership of oneself and others.
In times of change, people often do not need perfect answers from leaders. They need stability, clarity and good communication.
Support for leaders can help with understanding one’s own stress reactions, managing pressure, setting healthier boundaries and developing communication skills needed to lead people through complex situations.
No. More and more leaders and organizations seek support preventively, as part of individual development and long-term organizational sustainability. The greatest value often appears before stress and exhaustion turn into burnout.
Yes. The online format enables flexibility and continuity of support regardless of location or schedule and can be just as effective as in-person work.
Yes. Investing in employee mental health is not only a wellbeing issue, but also an important prerequisite for long-term organizational effectiveness. When people feel psychologically safer, supported and better equipped to cope with stress, the organization becomes more resilient and ready for change.
Work with organizations is shaped around specific needs, challenges and the organization’s current stage of development. It can include psychoeducation, workshops and individual support for employees and leaders in the areas of mental health, stress, burnout, team communication, resilience and change management.
No. The greatest value often comes when mental health and people development are approached preventively. Support is especially useful during periods of growth, change, increased pressure or leadership capacity development.
Workshops are practical, interactive and focused on real challenges in an organizational environment. The focus is not only on transferring new knowledge, but also on helping participants better understand their own behavioral patterns, interpersonal dynamics, stress reactions and communication styles.
Yes. Educational sessions, workshops, individual meetings and counselling can be delivered in person, online or in a hybrid format, depending on the organization’s needs.
A few sentences are enough to say whether you are looking for support for yourself, a leader, a team or an organization.
