“People are not their problems”

Verified by Kyan

About Gabrijela

I am a counselling therapist in cybernetics and systemic therapy. I have worked this way for many years. I see adults on their own, and I also see couples and families. People come when they feel overwhelmed, lost or anxious, when there is conflict or distance in a relationship, when there is tension in the family or communication is difficult, or when life is changing and an inner block or a personal goal is in the way.

I believe that people are not their problems. Before anything else, I want to know the person, not the diagnosis, the difficulty or the symptom. My work rests on cybernetics and systemic therapy. I look at a person in the context of their relationships, life experiences and surroundings. I also work with a solution focus, with the resources a person already has, and with hypnosis and trance.

I do not experience therapy as a process of fixing people. I experience it as a shared inquiry into the ways we understand ourselves, other people and the world around us. We do not look for what is wrong with you. We try to understand how you came to where you are, and which possibilities for change are there. In our work I try to offer a place where you can feel safe, seen and heard.

How Gabrijela works

In a session we look at you in the context of your relationships, your life experiences and the world around you. This is cybernetics and systemic therapy, including second-order cybernetics. I do not start from what is wrong. I want to understand how you came to this point, and which possibilities for change are open.

I use a solution focus and the resources you already have. I also use trance as a natural way of being in contact with inner resources, creativity and potentials that people often forget they have. The same way of working can be individual, with a partner, or with the family, in person in Zagreb or online. Hypnotherapy is also part of what I offer.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Gabrijela works.

Systemic & family therapy

Systemic and family therapy looks at difficulties in the context of the relationships around you: your family, partner, work or friends. Patterns between people, rather than one person alone, become the focus of the work. It can be used with individuals, couples and whole families.

Solution-focused therapy

Solution-focused therapy puts the emphasis on what you want rather than on the problem. It looks for what is already working, even a little, and builds on your strengths and resources. The work is often short-term and practical, with clear, small steps.
