Jovana Sladakovic

I am an empathetic Clinical Psychologist who offers warm, thoughtful support to children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression and mood difficulties, panic, phobias, OCD, social anxiety, generalised anxiety, trauma, adjustment difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and work or study-related stress. I also have a special interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals to better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and recognise and build on their strengths.

I see therapy as a collaborative journey toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and confidence. I take time to understand each person’s experiences, strengths, and goals, and work with you to make sense of what is happening and find meaningful ways forward. My aim is to offer a warm, respectful space where you can feel understood, supported, and gently encouraged. Together, we can explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical strategies for difficult thoughts and emotions, and strengthen skills for navigating life with flexibility and self-compassion.

I draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Integrated CBT, and Schema Therapy. I tailor therapy to each person, bringing care, curiosity, and practical strategies together with deeper exploration of the experiences and patterns that shape how you think, feel, and respond.

My hope is that you leave therapy feeling heard, understood, and more confident, with tools and insight that support meaningful, lasting change.
