Before becoming a psychotherapist, Kamelia spent years working in spiritual care and hospital settings supporting individuals facing grief, illness, end-of-life experiences, and existential suffering.
With over a decade of experience in spiritual guidance and emotional support, her work today bridges psychotherapy, meaning-making, trauma-informed care, and deeper human healing.
