Mag. Zoya Mesaric is a psychoanalyst, executive coach, and writer working internationally, based between Vienna and Lisbon.

Her work begins where things don’t shift, despite therapy, coaching, or personal effort.

She works with individuals who function at a high level, yet find themselves struggling with something they cannot fully explain or resolve - in identity, relationships, or decision-making.

Externally successful. Carrying something that hasn’t moved.

Her work spans situations of significant psychological intensity, from individuals navigating the aftermath of deeply disruptive experiences, to those operating at the highest levels of performance under sustained internal pressure.

Often, these two are more closely connected than they appear.

The work integrates psychoanalytic depth, trauma understanding, and somatic insight - translating internal patterns into clear psychological and strategic movement.

Her clinical formation includes forensic psychiatric work and long-term psychoanalytic practice across international settings.

She has been working in the field for over a decade, maintaining an international private practice across English, Slovenian, Serbo-Croatian, and Spanish.

Her clinical perspective has been presented at the World Congress for Psychotherapy (2025), where she introduced a new integrative model for early trauma recovery, integrating psychoanalytic and somatic approaches.

She also writes a column for ELLE Magazine on grief, sexuality, ambition, and the psychological dimensions of contemporary life.
