Ivana Kovačev
Psychologist trained and professionally registered in Italy since 2003.
For more than 25 years, I have been exploring the profound connection between body, emotions, mind and our personal stories. My work brings together psychological knowledge, body-oriented psychotherapy, somatic practices and creative experiential approaches — creating a space where you can slow down, listen inward and reconnect with what is alive within you.
Because sometimes, healing begins not by thinking more, but by finally allowing yourself to feel.
The body remembers what the mind sometimes forgets
We all develop ways of adapting to life.
Some protect us.
Some help us survive.
Some once kept us safe — but no longer serve who we are becoming.
Through body awareness, movement, breath, emotional exploration and mindful presence, we can begin to recognise these patterns and create more space for choice.
My approach is experiential, embodied and relational.
It is an invitation to move beyond simply understanding yourself intellectually — and to begin experiencing yourself differently.
Individual Sessions
A space to meet yourself more deeply. One-to-one sessions for self-exploration, emotional awareness, embodied regulation and personal growth. We may explore the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, relationships and recurring patterns — gently bringing awareness to what is asking to be seen. Depending on your needs, our work may include conversation, body awareness, movement, breath, grounding, creative expression and other experiential practices. There is no fixed formula. We begin where you are.
Couples & Relational Work
Because every relationship has a body. Our relationships can awaken our deepest patterns. The desire to connect. The fear of losing ourselves. The need to be seen. The impulse to withdraw, control, please or protect. In couples and relational work, we explore communication, intimacy, boundaries, emotional patterns and the embodied ways in which we meet one another. The intention is not to decide who is right or wrong. It is to create more awareness, choice, honesty and connection.
Workshops & Experiences
We are not meant to do all of our inner work alone. I create experiential workshops and group spaces exploring themes such as: the body · boundaries · relationships · emotional patterns · feminine experience · self-expression · embodiment · shame · courage · connection My workshops combine reflection, body awareness, movement, breath, creative exploration and shared experience. They are spaces to learn — but also spaces to feel, experience and remember something about yourself.
Expressive Art Therapy
Expressive Art Therapy is my special passion and creative channel. It offers a space to explore emotions, stories, and inner wisdom through art, movement, and imagination. No artistic skills are needed—just a willingness to create and discover. This process can unlock new perspectives, release stuck energy, and deepen connection with the Self.
TRE
Tension & Stress Release Exercises TRE is a body-based practice involving movement and natural tremoring. It can support relaxation, body awareness and the release of physical tension, and can be integrated into individual and group experiential work. The practice invites the body to move, release and return gradually towards a greater sense of ease and groundedness.
Cacao Practitioner
Cacao has long been honored as a heart-opening plant medicine. In guided sessions, I work with ceremonial-grade cacao to create a safe and intentional space for reflection, connection, and inner exploration. This gentle practice can support emotional release, creativity, and a deeper sense of presence with yourself and others.
Transform Your Mental Health
I offer psychotherapy services that support healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. With a warm and integrative approach, I hold a safe space that encourages your inner capacity for healing.
How It Works
The therapeutic process unfolds in gentle, supportive steps, designed to help you feel safe, understood, and empowered.
Orientation
We begin by meeting each other. We explore what brings you here, what you are looking for and what you would like to understand, experience or change.
Awareness
We begin to notice. Thoughts. Emotions. Body sensations. Impulses. Patterns. Without forcing anything to change.
Exploration
Through conversation and experiential practices, we explore new ways of relating to yourself, your body and your experiences.
Integration
The intention is to bring what you discover into everyday life — with greater awareness, choice, connection and authenticity.
