Dragana Pylarinou

Licensed Psychologist

Licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience, dedicated to helping people navigate life’s challenges and grow in meaningful ways. I provide a warm, evidence-based approach tailored to each individual, creating a space for healing, self-discovery, and lasting change.

About Me

Feeling overwhelmed or seeking personal growth? I offer a warm, evidence-based approach to help you navigate life's challenges. I create a confidential space where you can explore feelings and discover new ways forward. We’ll tailor practical strategies just for you, fostering self-discovery and lasting change. This collaborative process suits those ready to build resilience and find deeper meaning.

Approach

We begin by shifting from talking about concerns to testing small, manageable changes that align with your values and daily life. I offer sessions in Belgrade and online, and can work in English, Greek, Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian to ensure communication feels safe and direct. Sessions move at your pace: we use acceptance-focused exercises, clear skill-building, and short, personalized practices between meetings so insights translate into routine change. This way of working often helps adolescents, adults and parents ready to build resilience.
