Biography
Nikolija Čampar is a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive clinical experience in forensic psychiatry. She currently works at the Regional Forensic Psychiatric Clinic in Växjö, Sweden, where she conducts psychological assessments, diagnostic evaluations, and psychological therapy for patients with complex psychiatric disorders within a forensic context.
Her clinical work includes comprehensive psychological assessments and individual therapeutic interventions using a range of evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychoeducation, motivational interviewing, supportive therapeutic conversations, and other evidence-based approaches. A central focus of her clinical practice is the application of virtual reality (VR) in forensic psychiatry, where VR is used as an innovative tool for psychological assessment and therapy, particularly in work with antisocial behavior and difficulties related to affect and impulse regulation. VR enables clinical work in realistic yet controlled environments, enhancing the understanding of behavior, emotional responses, and therapeutic goals.
In addition to her clinical work, Nikolija is actively involved in education and supervision, working as a mentor for groups of psychology students, as well as a supervisor and consultant to staff working in forensic psychiatric services. Her professional interests include applied forensic psychology, mental health innovations, and the integration of new technologies into clinical practice.
