Individual relationship counselling
Individual relationship counselling focuses on you — your communication style, your patterns, and the boundaries that keep your relationships healthy. You don't need a partner in the room to do meaningful relationship work. Together, you and Jelena look at how you show up in connection, what gets in the way, and how to relate in ways that feel more honest and sustainable.
This work often touches family, friendships, work relationships, and romantic partnerships alike — because the patterns we carry tend to show up across all of them.
What boundaries counselling helps with
Setting boundaries is hard when you've learned that your worth depends on keeping everyone else comfortable. Counselling helps you notice where you over-give or struggle to say no, and builds the self-trust to set clearer limits without guilt. You might work on:
- People-pleasing and difficulty saying no
- Communicating needs clearly and calmly
- Navigating conflict without shutting down or escalating
- Understanding attachment patterns and how they shape relationships
- Recovering your sense of self after a draining relationship
- Building boundaries that protect your energy and values

Staying connected to yourself
Healthy relationships don't require you to disappear. Jelena's approach helps you stay grounded in your own needs and values while still caring about the people in your life — so connection feels mutual rather than one-sided. It's gentle, non-judgmental work, and it moves at a pace that feels right for you.
