My professional path and short CV
Therapeutic path
After finishing the 1st grammar school in Celje (I. gimnazija v Celju), I enrolled at the Faculty of Education in Maribor (Pedagoška fakulteta v Mariboru), where I met psychotherapy for the first time with my own participation in a psychotherapy group with classmates, led by Gestaltist, dr. Rudi Kotnik. Later, I also passed a weekend seminar in Gestalt therapy, I also completed an introductory training in Transactional Analysis, but I decided to enroll in the postgraduate study of marital and family therapy, with dr. Gostečnik. (In the meantime, after graduating from the Faculty of Education, I got a job as a professor and enrolled in studies at the Faculty of Social Work.)
After completing the study of Marriage and Family Therapy, I spent two years in a therapeutic internship in therapeutic centers (Krog, SF), and continued my therapeutic path, after defending my master's thesis in 2013, within various societies and the Family Harmony Institute, which I (co) founded them.
From l. In 2019, I am the president of the Sinergija Ljubljana Association (Društvo Sinergija Ljubljana), within which I take care of various areas. Most of all, here, as in my pedagogical profession, I work in the field of education and prevention of addiction in children and adolescents, as well as prevention in health. However, I think it is important to promote human solidarity and humanitarianism.
Professional work experience
I have almost ten years of professional experience in the field of education, as well as ten years in the field of social care, as well as volunteer work in the field of social care in various fields. In addition to the teaching profession, I worked as a professional worker in various social welfare organizations, non-governmental (NGOs), as well as public administration (Centers for Social Work). I have worked in various fields: with children from socially deprived families, and adolescents with growing up difficulties, as well as juvenile delinquents. For a number of years, I have also worked in the field of addiction prevention, and people with associated mental health problems. For several years also in the field of prevention of domestic violence, for adult victims of violence, women; as well as childcare.
