Jadranka Knezevic

As a child, it would have been easy to describe me as a dreamer yet I was unable to escape the harsh reality of my childhood which was one of loss, war and displacement. Even at that young age, I was acutely aware of the difficulties others were experiencing whilst finding it difficult to express my own emotions. I developed a drive to help others which has continued throughout my life. I enjoy providing mental clarity and a listening ear in their times of need. For the past six years, I have worked as a therapist and gained invaluable skills. My focus has been on children and young people which has included working with a wide range of clients, families and professionals, from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and in a variety of settings (private clients, schools). My clients have presented with a wide range of difficulties and life experiences including attachment difficulties, abuse, neglect, loss, bereavement, self-harm, anger, parental separation/divorce, aggression, peer relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, low- confidence, fostered, anxiety.


I have chosen to work with this age group because it’s a unique time in a young person’s life and my purpose is to help them express themselves knowing they will be listened to without judgment.

I endeavour to give them a comfortable, safe space where they can do this and gain much satisfaction from seeing them progress.
