About Dajana
Dajana Sprajcer-Simeunovic is an ACA counsellor in Australia with 16 years of experience working in trauma and crisis care. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and coping with life changes, and also works with domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and guilt and shame.
She speaks English and Serbian. People come to her when they feel overwhelmed, anxious, sad or find it hard to manage after difficult events. She offers supportive psychotherapy that looks at how past events influence current feelings and behaviour.
In sessions she uses a person-centred, strength-based approach with trauma-informed principles. That means conversations start from what the person brings, and build on strengths while paying attention to how trauma affects emotions and relationships. The work is practical and grounded in everyday concerns.
Her background includes many years supporting people impacted by family and domestic violence, childhood trauma, addiction, loss and relationship strain. That experience shapes how she listens and how she plans each session.
Initial steps involve a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process, with attention to what a person needs to manage guilt, shame or the symptoms that brought them for help.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
She uses person-centred work that focuses on the person's concerns and strengths. This approach involves listening closely, checking what matters to the client, and building on existing skills to manage stress, guilt and shame.She also applies trauma-informed practice, which pays attention to how past trauma affects current reactions and relationships. That approach helps when people are coping with domestic violence, post-traumatic stress or painful memories by aiming for gradual pacing and stabilising skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively with the person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs and preferences, and adjusts methods as those needs change.
