Nikolina Lukač is licensed by national chamber of psychotherapy, holds a Gestalt psychotherapy diploma from the EAPTI-Psihika institute, a four and a half year programme, and a diploma in Propedeutics of Psychotherapy from Institution Petar Zrinski in Zagreb. Her first degree is from the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of Zagreb (2009), and earlier in her career she worked in an international corporation and in the public sector. Before founding Humanist she had six years of psychotherapy training and three years of work with clients in associations and organisations, among them the eating disorders association BEA and Zaklada Solidarna for women victima of abuse. She continues with supervision and with her own individual therapy.

Her approach is warm, grounded and creative. She doesn't place herself above you as the expert. She sees working on yourself not only as talking about problems but as work: it isn't always comfortable, but without it there are rarely results. She doesn't believe in quick fixes or shiny facades. She believes in slower integration, in gentleness, and also in facing yourself.
