"To live a life"
Ultimately, fundamentally, is this not what every human wants?
Not to solve all the problems, not to function, not to keep going... But to experience their life in a meaningful way. Do you want to live a life? What would this mean for you? Would it help to explore this, understand what you need, and how to move towards it?

Call me Lola. I am a qualified Person-Centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. The base of my work with clients is a good, collaborative, therapeutic relationship in which I offer non-judgemental listening and a safe space to explore and grow. My core belief is that every person has a potential to develop, grow, and heal themselves if given the conditions and environment that they need to thrive.

Humans are designed to grow, to overcome, and to develop. Our minds are wired in such ways that we look to understand and make sense of our experiences, lessons and suffering. Counselling offers the space for this growth, which we sometimes seek, and sometimes we are challanged by our circumstances to overcome things we don't know we can overcome.

II grew up in Serbia, and moved to the UK in 2010.

Professionally, I am a qualified Counselling Therapist (Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB Level 4), working in my private practice since 2021. Prior to this, I volunteered as a counsellor for a Community Interest Company in Shropshire since 2019. My own life has changed through counselling in so many ways - some of it through my personal and professional development that this profession requires, and some through my training and experience of working with clients. I have learnt and developed  - and I continue to do so through my work. Having the space that counselling offers - to explore what is within - enables us to meet our true selves and create an awareness of our needs.

Outside of work, I am in love with life, nature and philosophy. I enjoy sports, walking, and learning. Being a counsellor is a way of being, and I am passionate about providing space and fascilitating personal growth and development for others.

I can join you on your life-changing journey to meet yourself - your "self". It is this meeting of yourself that will empower you to make the changes you choose by understanding - and using - your own unique blend of abilities, resources and tendencies.
