About
Professional profile
Hi, I’m Marjan, a Registered Trauma-Informed Clinical Counsellor and Certified Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner. I began my career in family practice and later moved into research. In 2021, following a personal tragic event, I felt a deep calling to transition into counseling and therapy. My approach is primarily shaped by the work of Gabor Maté, Eckhart Tolle, Peter Levine, Gordon Neufeld, Dan Siegel, and Stephen Porges. I help clients explore the root causes of their challenges, whether related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or personal struggles.
By creating a safe and supportive space, I guide clients to reconnect with their inner selves. Through this sense of safety and connection, we open up to vulnerability and authentic expression. We get hurt in relationships, and we can heal in relationships—that is the kind of relationship I aim to offer. This is where deep, lasting healing happens.
If you are overwhelmed by personal struggles, feeling anxious or depressed, you’re not alone and it doesn't have to stay that way. Once you feel safe, seen, and felt, you can begin to heal. I am happy to offer that space to you and be the conduit to your freedom.
