“Counselling to build personal resources and cope with stress”
About Igor
I work with people who want to understand their own difficulties and take an active role in their personal and professional development. I offer counselling to adults and young people, and I also work with parents. We often work on stress and anxiety, fears, anger and grief, exhaustion, difficulties in partner and family relationships, low self-confidence, and life changes and crises.
I graduated in psychology from the University of Zagreb in 2005, and in 2021 I completed a diploma as a life and social counsellor accredited by a university in Austria. I have more than 20 years of experience. I opened my practice in Samobor in 2017, the year I also received the annual Marulić, fiat psychologia award of the Croatian Psychological Society. Since 2023 I have held a certificate in NLPt psychotherapy, and in 2024 I completed EMDR training, levels I and II.
In my work I rely on professional knowledge and a clear, consistent approach that helps with stress, inner conflicts and life challenges in a sustainable and realistic way. Sessions take place in person in Samobor or online.
How Igor works
Depending on your needs, difficulties and challenges, I use methods from different psychological schools, among them NLPt, EMDR, positive psychology and a systemic approach. The first meeting is a chance for us to explore your situation together and set goals. We then work on coping techniques, and counselling ends when you can apply what you have learned on your own. The aim is not only to solve current problems but also to develop your inner resources. A session lasts 60 minutes, most often every one to three weeks.
Approaches
General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Igor works.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured method for working with distressing memories. While you briefly bring a memory to mind, the therapist guides you through bilateral stimulation such as eye movements or taps, which can help the memory feel less intense. It is best known for its use after traumatic experiences.
Positive psychology & positive psychotherapy
Positive psychology and positive psychotherapy look at strengths, resources and what makes life feel worthwhile, alongside the difficulties. Exercises such as noticing what goes well, or using your strengths in new ways, can support wellbeing. Positive psychotherapy also looks at problems in the context of a person’s culture and the balance of their life.
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.

Questions and answers
What is psychological counselling?
Psychological counselling is support for people going through difficult life circumstances who do not have severe psychopathological difficulties. The aim is not only to solve current problems but also to develop inner resources.
How long does counselling last?
The number of sessions depends on the kind and severity of the difficulties. One is rarely enough, a few conversations are more often enough, and sometimes it takes several months. A session lasts 60 minutes, most often every one to three weeks.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is a chance for us to explore your situation together, clarify your expectations and set goals. After that we work on coping techniques, and the process ends when you can apply what you have learned on your own.
Can I have sessions online?
Yes. Counselling can take place in person or through a secure online connection. Online counselling offers the same confidentiality and expertise, with added flexibility. Online EMDR also follows the same protocol as in person.
