"with a smile"
My name is Slavica Martinović Schank. I was born in 1983 in Doboj (BiH), and grew up in Zagreb. Ever since I can remember, I have been interested in topics from the field of psychology and spirituality, the human search for meaning and acceptance. My own searches led me to the realization that we are all imperfect and that's ok. Today, I embrace it with a smile on my face as I understand that we are valuable and unique - precisely with our strengths and weaknesses.
I am Transactional Analysis Practitioner in Psychotherapy, hold an MA in Psychology and teach Autogenic Training. I work with clients in Croatian and English language, but I also speak German and Spanish. In my free time, I like to travel, stay in nature and practice yoga.

"I believe that's the way"
I find great satisfaction in my profession and in sharing what I have learned with others. For me, each client is a special and important person, and I strive to jointly find and resolve what is important to her/him at that moment, as well as discover the background, the processes that led to internal struggles, so that the person could do differently in the future if required. I believe that it is the way to a more conscious, satisfying, fulfilling life.
In psychotherapy work, I use the methods and techniques of transactional analysis, and I supplement them with cognitive-behavioral and relaxation techniques in order to best adapt to the client's needs. I am additionally educated as a mindfulness trainer for children and for providing support to parents in the challenges of parenting.
