Niels Barends Psychology Practice

About us

Barends Psychology Practice provides therapy in English in Ljubljana and online for individuals and couples who are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and other psychological challenges. The goal of therapy is to help you understand and change the patterns that maintain these difficulties, and gradually restore a greater sense of control, stability, and quality of life.

Our approach is open, honest, non-judgmental, and focused on results. Combined with professional expertise, clinical experience, and a structured way of working, this ensures that therapy is clear, effective, and tailored to your needs.

For individuals who are looking for deeper insight into their behavioural patterns, decision-making, and functioning under pressure, we also offer the 20–80 Method®, a structured approach to personal and professional development.

Therapy in English in Ljubljana and online is available in multiple languages:

  • English: Niels (Ljubljana and online), Marylise (online)
  • Dutch: Niels (in person and online)
  • French: Marylise (online)
  • Croatian and Italian: Tijana (online)

Therapy is not available in Slovenian. However, an increasing number of clients from Slovenia choose therapy in English, mainly due to the specialised approach and international experience.
