Josipa Katinic

Josipa Katinic is a psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, and Canadian Certified Counsellor whose work is distinguished by the breadth and depth of her training across contemporary psychotherapy approaches, and her capacity to understand how they function in practice.

​

Over the course of her clinical development, she has undertaken extensive advanced training in trauma, attachment, somatic therapies, couples work, and relational approaches, as well as highly technical approaches such as the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). This level of exposure has allowed her to develop a refined and analytic understanding of the field—not only how different approaches are constructed, but how they operate when applied to real clients.

​

Through this work, she developed a clear capacity to discern what holds in psychotherapy and what leads to drift. She is particularly attuned to how techniques and models, when applied without sufficient grounding in the individual, can create confusion, fragmentation, and frustration for both clinicians and clients. Her work is therefore focused not on the application of method, but on helping clinicians understand when, how, and whether any given approach is appropriate.

​

It is through this depth of engagement with the field that she came to FIIT as a model that resolves many of these challenges—offering a way of working that remains grounded in the individual while restoring coherence, direction, and confidence to the clinician.

​

In her clinical practice, she works extensively with individuals and couples, including complex presentations involving trauma, attachment disruptions, relational conflict, and long-standing patterns of distress. Her approach reflects both depth of training and a movement beyond it—toward a form of practice that prioritizes the reality of the client over adherence to technique.

​

Within FIIT, Josipa’s role is to support clinicians in moving through the complexity of what they have learned and toward a more grounded, coherent way of working. She brings a unique ability to translate across modalities, identify where clinicians become misdirected, and guide them toward practice that is aligned with how human functioning actually operates.

​

Her work is defined by clarity, discernment, and a commitment to reducing clinical drift—supporting therapists in developing confidence, precision, and a more stable relationship to the work itself.
