You don’t need to wait until it feels overwhelming
Here's who you will be talking to
I'm Vika Novak, a certified psychologist offering counseling in English and Slovenian, online and in person (Leiria, Portugal).
My approach combines evidence-based psychology with a warm, grounded, and practical way of working. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and coaching methods, helping clients to understand themselves better, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
Evidence-based psychology with a warm, grounded, and practical way of working.
Alongside traditional counseling, I also offer Surf Therapy, which is a unique therapeutic approach based on Blue Mind Theory that combines psychological support with the healing and regulating effects of the Ocean and the movement.

What you will experience
If you decide to work with me, my intention is that you feel truly met as a person, not as a diagnosis, not as a problem to fix, but as someone with a story that makes sense in its own context.
Therapy with me is a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're going through, and gently reconnect with yourself.

A supportive space for clarity, growth, and emotional wellbeing
Individual psychological support for adults, teenagers, and families navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, and adjustment to living abroad.

A grounding space for emotional balance, presence, and resilience
Surf therapy combines psychological support with the healing qualities of the ocean and movement. It offers a unique way to step out of overthinking and reconnect with the body, breath, and present moment. Surf therapy supports emotional regulation, stress reduction, and self-awareness, especially during periods of anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or life transitions.
