Relationship Therapist
Dr. Veronika Podgoršek

The relationship and family therapist who never holds back, even when it comes to emotional and complex topics like love, jealousy, building relationships full of loyalty and trust, reigniting passion and intimacy in long-term relationships, infidelity, and divorce.

I address every "why" to help you see yourself in a new light.
That’s why I always illustrate theoretical foundations with practical examples, making it relatable, easy to understand, and applicable in everyday life.

With 15 years of therapeutic experience, 3,000 therapy sessions, and 10,000 hours of counseling, I’ve learned that relationships are at our core, and understanding ourselves and others leads us down a path of discovery and allows us to live more fulfilling lives. However, this path is never easy or quick...

The most important thing is that we allow ourselves to grow and change, while setting boundaries for ourselves and others.

We are mostly responsible for this, but with the help and support of others, it becomes much easier.
This is why relationships have been my calling since I was a young girl.

Today, I hold a Ph.D. in Family and Marriage Therapy from the University of Ljubljana. I completed a specialization in Object Relations Theory and Practice at the International Psychotherapy Institute (IPI) in Washington, D.C., USA, as well as additional training in Couples Therapy at the same institute.

While I practice therapy following the Relational Family Therapy model, I also use a combination of various techniques and models.

For many years, I worked as an independent therapist under the supervision of two long-time professors and psychotherapists from New York. I regularly participate in international conferences, professional lectures, and workshops at various universities and institutions in Slovenia, where I also lecture.

Above all, I am a writer, columnist, and lecturer.

I have published over 900 articles, professional lectures, TV and radio shows, and written four bestselling books.

Infidelity and Infidelity and Clinical Practice have sold over 10,000 copies and are among the most borrowed self-help books in libraries. The same goes for Love in Therapy – A Guide to a Happy Partnership and Love After Love.

My latest book, My Life – My Book, is more of a "workbook", aimed at encouraging you to get to know yourself better, understand the patterns guiding you, and take control of your life.

Make decisions and change your life for the better.
Because everyone deserves a happy relationship, and you can have one – once you decide to make it happen!

As a mother of four, I always prioritize family. We live in Domžale, where my Psychotherapy Institute – PTI – has been operating since 2006.

For all of you seeking loving relationships, I have also created the online portal ljubezen.si.

These are just a few of the questions I will answer clearly and concretely, showing you how to build a relationship full of honesty, respect, trust, and beautiful shared moments.
