About Natalija
Natalija Stefanovic is a PACFA credentialed counsellor in Australia with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, motivation and life changes. She also supports those managing sleep problems, anger, depression and concerns related to addiction or LGBT issues.
Natalija uses straightforward conversation to help people identify patterns that keep them stuck. She pays attention to how family of origin issues and early relationships can affect current behaviour and expectations. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and clearer ways to communicate with others.
Her approach is person-focused and problem-oriented. Discussions cover realistic goals, coping strategies, and ways to test new habits in day-to-day life. People often come for help with workplace stress, commitment worries, or difficulties that follow major life changes.
She also works with those navigating chronic health conditions, body image concerns, immigration issues and co-morbidity where more than one difficulty is present. Communication problems, codependency and control issues are common topics brought into sessions.
Conversations are held in English. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire to match their needs and schedule an initial appointment. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many common evidence-based approaches focus on changing thoughts and behaviour. Cognitive techniques involve noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments to see what changes. These methods can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Another useful approach works with relationship patterns and family background. This involves looking at roles and expectations learned in childhood and trying different ways of relating to others. It can be helpful for people concerned about repeating family of origin patterns or improving communication in close relationships.
Choosing which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree a way forward based on the person’s goals, practical needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
The therapist’s session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when people need a quick review. They also make it practical to continue regular meetings during life changes without needing to commute.
