Alexandra Kozikova

My path to becoming a counsellor has been shaped by my own life experiences. I grew up in a family where substance use and verbal abuse were present, and as I moved between cities and eventually across countries, I searched for a sense of belonging and purpose. I explored different careers, but nothing felt right. For years I lived disconnected from my body, until becoming a yoga teacher helped me rediscover awareness and grounding. Later, grief, anxiety, and panic attacks made it impossible to continue in my corporate work, and through these struggles I came to understand the importance of healing, resilience, and compassion. These challenges, along with the experience of blending cultures in my own marriage, have given me a deep appreciation for the complexity of human relationships and the unique struggles faced by immigrants and multicultural families. I believe counselling is not only for times of crisis but also a powerful resource for self-discovery and growth. I am especially passionate about supporting women as they navigate challenges such as self-esteem, body image, grief, anxiety, relationship dynamics, career transitions, and the pressures of balancing multiple roles.
