About Natalija
Natalija Stefanovic is a PACFA-credentialled counsellor in Australia with four years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem struggles and life changes. Her profile also notes work related to addictions, sleep problems, anger and depression, and codependency concerns.
Natalija keeps sessions practical and straightforward. She listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck - people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves around another person's moods. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that make daily life easier. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems like low motivation, intimacy-related issues and family of origin concerns. Other areas she has worked with include body image, chronic pain or illness, dissociation and immigration stress. Her approach includes direct discussion of goals and regular review of progress.
Natalija keeps language simple and clear during sessions. She explains ideas in everyday terms and checks in about what is useful. People who prefer a straightforward, goal-focused process may find this style helpful.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The site subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
She works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviours and present patterns. One common approach addresses the links between thoughts and feelings, helping people notice unhelpful thinking and test different, more useful ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood.Another approach emphasises behaviour change through small experiments and practice. This helps with issues like motivation, sleep problems and coping with strong emotions by breaking tasks into manageable steps and building new routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals and preferences. This means discussing options, trying methods in session, and adjusting what is used based on what helps.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow sessions to be scheduled from different locations and can suit people who prefer not to be in the same room as their counsellor.
