Clarity, Connection, Change - At Your Pace.
Marijana Dujmovic
Clinical Family Therapist (AAFT) & Registered Clinical Counsellor (PACFA)
​My strength is enhancing the quality of relationships, as I believe they directly impact our overall well-being. My passion lies in creating a safe and supportive space for all families, couples and individuals to explore and strengthen their connections with each other, and themselves. With extensive experience in not-for-profit organizations, I have helped many navigate the challenges of substance use, mental health and trauma.
I am a PACFA registered Clinical Counsellor, with a Masters of Clinical Family Therapy from the Bouverie Centre at La Trobe University, and am also a proudly registered Clinical Family Therapist with the Australian Association of Family Therapy (AAFT).
