Dajana Sprajcer-Simeunovic, ACA

Dajana Sprajcer-Simeunovic is a licensed professional counsellor registered in Australia with 16 years of experience supporting people affected by trauma, crisis and victim-of-crime issues. She has worked with individuals and families coping with family and domestic violence, childhood trauma, addiction, grief and loss, and relationship difficulties. Her practice focuses on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, sadness and other challenges that make daily life harder.

She offers supportive psychotherapy designed to help clients gain clearer insight into how past experiences influence current feelings, behaviours, physical and mental health, and relationships. Dajana uses a holistic approach that places the person at the centre of care, builds on individual strengths, and is informed by trauma-aware principles. This combination aims to empower people to understand themselves better and develop more effective coping strategies.

Dajana holds ACA credentials, indicating membership in a recognised professional counselling association and adherence to professional standards. She communicates in English and Serbian, and she aims to make the first step toward help easier by providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space. Reaching out for support can be difficult, and Dajana is committed to guiding clients through that process with patience and practical support.

Evidence-informed approaches for online trauma and relationship care

Dajana draws on person-centred therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients are heard and guided at their own pace - this approach helps people clarify their needs, build self-awareness and strengthen emotional resilience. She also uses trauma-informed methods that focus on understanding how past traumatic experiences can affect current reactions and relationships, which can be particularly helpful for those recovering from domestic violence, abuse or post-traumatic stress. When appropriate, she integrates a strengths-based orientation that highlights existing resources and skills, helping clients apply practical coping strategies to everyday challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Dajana collaborates with each client to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process aims to find a best fit rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy offers flexibility to receive care by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support around work, family or mobility constraints. These options allow continuity of care and make it simpler to schedule sessions while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional as needed.
