    About Private: Sanja

    Dr. Cosic has a very positive strengths based interpersonal approach to client assessment and intervention and works collaboratively on the goals of the client. The emphasis being on self-management and the acknowledgement that clients don’t need to be cured, they need support to develop more functional capacities to manage their own lives, relationships and issues. She approaches couples work from an understanding that relationships impact and enhance our lives, and it is through relationships that we grow and develop personally and socially.

    Dr. Sanja has been a registered psychologist in Melbourne since 1993, with AHPRA endorsement as a counselling psychologist, and has worked in the acute and community mental health services.  In the last fifteen years she has also worked in the addiction field managing Gamblers Help Southern- the largest standalone problem gambling service in Victoria. She has also had a private practice over this period focusing generally on the supervision and development of other health professionals; including psychologists. She is also currently employed with a private hospital setting as a senior psychologist providing both clinician supervision and client interventions.

    She has extensive experience with disability, mental health, addictions, trauma, couples counselling, as well as high prevalence disorders; anxiety and depression. She is also a trained hypnotherapist and is able to treat chronic health conditions such as smoking reduction and cessation, and teaching relaxation and breathing techniques.

    Dr. Sanja has also worked extensively with CALD communities and understands the issues of marginalisation and disadvantage for some communities such as the GLBTI community.
