Areas of Expertise

Death and grieving

While working in psychotherapy setting with people from the Balkans, I have got interested in exploring transgeneration trauma transmission and I did my doctoral research on the subject.

Violence and aggression

For the last two years I’ve worked with refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants. I became more knowledge about the link between the mental health and migration. I am also trained in proving aid and support to a victim of violence.

Latest Reviews

  • The overall experience with the app and the counseling was amazing. The app is really easy to use and is adaptable to any needs of time or topics. Really great. I was very sceptical at the beginning, but I immediately changed my mind once I downloaded the app and start using it. My counsellor was great, really professional, easy to talk to and very structured. I also had the feeling she understood immediately what I wanted and how to talk to me. I suggest anyone that is struggling to use the app immediately.

  • In every session Minja made me feel comfortable opening up to work on the areas that are hard to dig through (and feel validated in the smaller things too). I appreciated her insights and support. Highly recommend!

  • Since my sessions with Minja I have noticed a massive change within myself and look forward to continuing my counselling journey.
