Dr. Jelena Mustapic

Consultant

I have over 20 years of clinical experience in the field of psychotherapy and psychology. I worked in different settings including psychiatric hospitals, a community-based mental health organization, prison/forensic setting, educational institutions, and counseling centers.

I have a natural passion for helping people get over their difficulties and, thus, live a happier and more fulfilling life. I use a holistic approach to well-being to help clients of different ages and cultural backgrounds overcome a wide array of problems, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, life transitions, complex trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, and loss and bereavement.

I also have a vast experience in conducting evaluations to assit with ADHD, learning difficulties, and mood and personality disorders. I earned a Ph.D. in Biomedicine and Health Sciences; a Master Practitioner Diploma in Eating Disorders & Obesity from National Centre For Eating Disorders (NCFED), UK, and a Certificate in Hypnotherapy from the College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy, London, UK.

Having completed my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy with EMDR Extra, London, UK, I currently seek to become an Accredited EMDR Practitioner.
