About Me
Welcome
I’m Jelica, a counsellor and holistic practitioner who believes healing begins with gentleness, safety, and the freedom to move at your own pace.
At Mindful Mind, I offer a calm, supportive space where you can pause, breathe, and feel truly heard. Together, we explore not only the challenges you’re facing, but also the strengths, insight, and inner resources you already carry.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed principles of compassion, choice, and respect for the whole person, mind, body, and nervous system.
My approach
I work in a way that is:
Trauma‑informed
Safety, trust, and empowerment guide every session.
Holistic
I honour the interconnectedness of emotional, physical, and psychological experience.
Somatic‑aware
Healing often lives in the body as much as in words. Where helpful, I integrate gentle body-based awareness to support nervous system regulation and embodied understanding.
Gentle and collaborative
You set the pace. I walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and respect.
This approach supports you to reconnect with a sense of inner stability, develop a more grounded sense of self, and feel more settled within yourself over time.
My background
I bring together lived compassion with academic depth and professional experience.
My qualifications include:
Master’s in Counselling
Honours in Psychology
PhD in Public Health
This blend allows me to support people with a wide range of experiences, from everyday stress and anxiety to the longer-term impacts of trauma and life transitions.
Who I work with
I support individuals seeking a safe, nurturing space to explore:
anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
the impacts of trauma and nervous system dysregulation
grief, loss, and major life changes
emotional challenges related to health
reconnection with self and inner steadiness
While my practice is open to all, many people I work with are navigating periods of change and longing to feel more at home within themselves.
My intention
At the heart of my work is the intention to offer a space where you can:
feel safe, supported, and respected
reconnect with your body’s wisdom
find greater calm and balance in daily life
move toward integration, clarity, and wholeness
If this resonates, you’re warmly invited to reach out when the time feels right.
