Psychological counseling and therapy

I believe that choosing the right psychologist or therapist is crucial for both parties. And I'll be glad if I fit your idea of gender, age, qualifications, focus, or approach. But likewise, if that's not the case, I will support you in your effort to keep searching.

I'm not yet a therapist who has found all the answers to my curious questions in one method. And I'm glad for that, as it allows me to work with multiple groups of people. I enjoy continuing my education and prefer integrative, evidence-based approaches. This enables me to provide clients with their preferred way of collaboration. Both professionally and personally, I listen more than I speak, but I don't sympathize with unproductive styles of collaboration with mere nodding along. Even though all your problems won't disappear in three sessions, I will strive to ensure that this collaboration and your investment always has direction, a goal, and a purpose.

In addition to listening, thoughtfulness, curiosity, trustworthiness, and support, I like to provide practical skills, lead toward insight into thoughts, emotions, and relational patterns, and also pass on evidence-based techniques for calming the nervous system and lead toward building resilience. By also being a psychologist, I think about life's difficulties with knowledge of human development, diagnostic categories, and social phenomena. Ethics is also of utmost importance to me, I have insight into related forms of care (e.g., diagnosis by a clinical psychologist, psychiatric care...). I don't perform diagnostics and don't prescribe medications, but I can guide you toward diagnosis in case of doubts. I don't provide services covered by health insurance. Sessions are available in English and Czech.
