I'm a Clinical Psychologist specialising in psychotherapy and other forms of psychological treatment, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). As part of my practice, I combine elements from several approaches to psychotherapy and tailor the treatment according to the individual client’s needs.

I work as both a private practitioner and consultant, and have more than 10 years' experience working with adolescents, and extensive experience working with children and adults with various problems and difficulties.

My specialist areas include the treatment of depression, anxiety, anger management, addiction, relationship problems, panic attacks, eating problems, traumas, low self esteem, stress, bereavement and grief, communication difficulties and personal development.

As well as English, I am a fluent Croatian speaker.

Petra is a very nice individual person, a good listener and adviser but more, she is a passionate therapist with real solutions." READ MORE...
