Marriage and family therapy · Ljubljana
A space where you can stop and breathe.
I am Veronika Železnik, a marriage and family therapist in training (under supervision). Together we create a safe and warm space for understanding yourself and your family system, working through distress, and growing steadily and lastingly.
Good to have you here
„Every person carries the strength to change within them, and I am here to help you make that decision.
The way back to yourself is not a straight line. Along the way there are obstacles and unhelpful patterns that keep the status quo in place — at the cost of forgetting who we are, what we want and where our boundaries lie, and of forgetting that we could live differently: more at ease, more confident, more settled.
In therapy the two of us do not look for quick answers, but for deeper understanding. Understanding brings calm, and calm makes room for new, healthier choices. We work at your pace, without judgement, with compassion and full attention.

Ways we can work together
I adapt every session to you and to where you are right now. Below are the main ways of working together.
Couples therapy
A space for honest conversation, for feeling heard, and for restoring the connection between partners.
MoreThrough major life transitions
Short-term support with a specific difficulty or a turning-point decision — planning a family, changing jobs, or a loss.
MoreFamily therapy
When the balance in the system breaks down — illness, addiction, outbursts, disconnection — it is time for the family to reconnect.
MoreSupport for couples through separation
Separation is stressful for the whole system. Together we lay new foundations for parenting and respectful communication.
MoreA Look into the Past (genogram)
In one longer, 90-minute session we walk through your family tree, bring the patterns into awareness and leave them in the past.

Areas
What I can help you with
You don't have to name it all in advance. Still — you may recognise yourself in something here.
01
Anxiety and stress
Restlessness, worry, panicky feelings, trouble sleeping and tension that takes away your peace.
02
Burnout
When the body stops and cannot go on.
03
Grief and loss
Working through loss, separation, illness and major life changes.
04
Relationships and boundaries
Recurring patterns, communication and boundaries in relationships.
05
Self-esteem
Self-criticism, self-doubt and difficulty accepting your own body.
06
Emotional regulation
Feeling overwhelmed by emotion, emotional outbursts, and how to respond calmly and assertively even when that seems impossible.
07
Trauma
Hard or repeated experiences that still echo in the body and in everyday life.
08
ADHD
Scattered attention, putting things off and feeling overwhelmed — and finding a rhythm that suits you.
09
Emotional and physical abuse
The aftermath of abuse in relationships, showing up in how you experience yourself and others today.
My Approach
Compassionate, empathic, focused on the individual
I believe in therapy that respects your pace. I don't come with ready-made recipes — I come with attention, curiosity and a genuine wish to understand your world.
I work within the marriage and family therapy approach, which understands a person in the context of their relationships and life experience. I am interested in how our ways of experiencing ourselves, others and the world were shaped through our relationships with those closest to us.

About Therapy
How we work together
Therapy is a process — safe, gradual and entirely confidential. This is how our path together usually unfolds.
-
01
Introductory session
We get to know each other and you tell me what brings you here. Together we decide whether we are the right fit for this path. No pressure.
-
02
We set the goals together
We clarify what you want to change and what progress will look like. The goals stay yours — I walk alongside you.
-
03
Regular sessions
Usually weekly, 50 minutes each. Step by step we explore patterns, feelings and new ways of being — through new experiences within the therapeutic relationship.
-
04
Integration and closing
When you feel steadier and sense it is time to say goodbye, we close our work calmly — with tools that stay with you.
An invitation
In your life and relationships, it is time to feel more lightness.
You don't have to carry it all on your own. Take the first step — and we'll go on together.
