“Expertise and empathy, with an emphasis on sense of autonomy”

Verified by Kyan

About Tara

I am Tara Pavić Futač, a psychologist (master's degree) and a certified transactional analysis psychotherapist (CTA, PTSTA). Working with people is my passion. In recent years I have worked with adults, couples and groups. I start from where the person is now. My work rests on expertise and empathy, and on helping you express yourself, see new perspectives and regain a sense of autonomy.

I completed a bachelor's in psychology in Vienna in 2014 and a master's in psychology, specialising in counselling, in Vienna in 2016. I also hold a bachelor's degree in economics and management from Zagreb (2012). I finished a four-year transactional analysis training in Zagreb in 2021 and passed the EATA psychotherapist exam in Germany in 2023. In 2025 I received the PTSTA-P title of supervisor and TA teacher. I worked for five years at SOS Children's Village Croatia. I am the ethics commissioner of the Croatian association of transactional analysts, and I co-lead a transactional analysis group in Zagreb, in its third year.

Transactional analysis is the foundation of my work. I believe in an integrative approach to psychotherapy, which I adapt to clients' needs. I continue to train in cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, EMDR, mindfulness and systemic gestalt coaching. In designing psychoeducational content, my guiding thread is strengthening each person's autonomy.

How Tara works

Transactional analysis is the foundation of how I work, and I use an integrative approach that I adapt to clients' needs. I start from where the person is now. I rely on expertise, empathy and an understanding of different life experiences, so that you can express yourself, discover new perspectives and regain a sense of autonomy.

I keep training in cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, EMDR, mindfulness and systemic gestalt coaching. An individual session lasts 50 minutes. I see people in person in Zagreb and online. I also work with couples, and I co-lead a transactional analysis group in Zagreb. A group meeting lasts 90 to 120 minutes, three times a month.

Approaches

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

Transactional analysis

Transactional analysis looks at how we communicate and relate, using the idea of three “ego states”: parent, adult and child. It helps you recognise recurring patterns in your relationships and the life scripts behind them. It offers clear, practical ideas for change.

Integrative therapy

Integrative therapy combines ideas and methods from different therapeutic approaches, chosen to suit you and what you bring. Rather than following one model, the therapist adapts the work as it goes along. This flexibility can help when needs change over time.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions keep each other going. Together you notice the patterns that hold a problem in place and try out new ways of thinking and acting, often with small practical tasks between sessions. It is widely used for anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep problems.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy helps you make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. The focus is on what matters to you, and on taking steps in that direction even when things feel hard. It is used for stress, anxiety, low mood and long-term pain, among other things.

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.
