One of the many benefits to online therapy and counselling is that my clients have the added convenience of having their session from the comfort of their own home. My therapeutic approach involves a compassionate and nurturing style to ensure my clients feel safe and comfortable in opening up and sharing their story.

The therapeutic modality I am most passionate about is Schema Therapy and I have advanced training in Schema Therapy from the founder Jeffrey Young and world renowned Schema Therapist Wendy Behary. Schema Therapy takes clients on a journey of self-discovery to uncover deep childhood wounds known as "schemas." Experiential techniques such as imagery rescripting, limited reparenting, and chair work and then introduced to clients to aid in healing schemas, break free from maladaptive self-defeating life patterns, and enrich people´s lives.

Dr. Jasmina Markovski is a clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience in psychiatric hospitals and private practice. She has extensive experience in providing both group programs and individual treatment for clients dealing with moderate to severe, often long-standing issues. Her areas of expertise include personality disorders, chronic depression, eating disorders, psychosis, bipolar disorder, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and addictions. While her primary experience is in outpatient settings, she also has substantial experience in hospital inpatient care. This comprehensive background equips her with the skills necessary for thorough assessment and the ability to select the most effective therapeutic interventions for various acute and chronic conditions. Dr. Markovski completed her PhD focusing on chronic, treatment-resistant depression, investigating how early childhood experiences influence personality and the development of chronic depression. Her research highlighted that individuals with severe depression often have underlying personality vulnerabilities, making them less responsive to biological or medical treatments. This means that medication alone is often insufficient, and even when not in a depressive episode, these individuals may struggle with persistent negative self-perception and dissatisfaction despite positive experiences. Driven by a passion for assisting those with long-standing emotional difficulties, Dr. Markovski is committed to helping clients who feel abandoned by traditional systems. These individuals may experience mood fluctuations, anxiety, pervasive self-doubt, negative self-criticism, low self-esteem, and perfectionistic tendencies. They often struggle with self-destructive coping mechanisms and may feel lost in their diagnosis or symptoms. Dr. Markovski is dedicated to providing a supportive space for clients to connect authentically with themselves and work towards meaningful, lasting change. She works with adults and older adolescents from all genders, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds, approaching each client with openness, honesty, and respect. Dr. Markovski's areas of interest and experience include: Chronic, treatment-resistant depression Anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, panic, OCD) Complex trauma, PTSD, and dissociative phenomena Mood disorders (depression, bipolar, pre and post-natal depression) Eating disorders and body image issues Personality disorders and emotion dysregulation Addictions Psychotic disorders Grief and complicated grief reactions Dr. Markovski’s therapeutic approach is focused on addressing both current issues and underlying maladaptive patterns that perpetuate struggles. She integrates a range of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, DBT, mindfulness, ACT, CBT, motivational interviewing, behavioral interventions, and somatic techniques. Her practice is largely informed by Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and incorporates research and insights from neurobiology and trauma-informed therapies. Committed to continuous learning and development, Dr. Markovski combines compassion with an active engagement in your healing and recovery process, using psycho-education and skills training as needed to optimize treatment outcomes.
