Dragana Doncic has an extensive academic background in early years education which includes tutoring and assessing aspiring future educators and early years leaders. Dragana has a decade of teaching experience at some of the leading educational institutions in Dubai, with the last seven years working in senior leadership roles.

During her successful career, she has been working closely with hundreds of children and their families.

She is a qualified early years educator with a PGC in speech, language and communication needs in children (SLCN-C).  

While undergoing her  BSc (Hons) studies in Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic Approaches, Dragana had established the Mind Maze Family Support Centre in order to cater to the growing demand for parental support due to low mood and high anxiety levels in children during Covid-19. The pandemic has produced a challenging scenario for all caregivers, parents and children alike, as it has created disruptions of daily life routines which lead to the development of increased frustration, heightened anxiety levels and depression.

Even though she has comprehensive knowledge of CBT approaches Dragana does not provide service of psychotherapy or psychological counselling. Dragana has been working with the families based on her experience and knowledge gained throughout the years of her practice and her early years educational  background.

Dragana loves psychology and philosophy and she can spend days reading. She is a mother of one gorgeous girl and planning for more. She is originally from Serbia and has completed her education in the UAE and the UK.
