Modern psychology and psychotherapy Online and in central Prague
Need someone to talk to? Looking for an open and safe environment? Take advantage of a space dedicated entirely to you. Whether you're dealing with something that's weighing you down, need to work through issues, or feel unsure about what to do next - I'm here to help. Services available both online and in Czech and English.
I completed my Master's degree in Psychology at UK in Bratislava in 2001 and a seven-year training in Gestalt psychotherapy (Gestalt Studio). I have been practicing counseling, psychotherapy, facilitation, and team building for 21 years.
I provide services in Czech, Slovak, and English, both in-office and online.
In my life, I love art in any form and nature (in any weather).
I work exclusively with adult clients, primarily with expats. The foundation of my work is a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship. After an initial introductory session, we usually agree on two to three follow-up meetings, after which we jointly evaluate whether our collaboration is beneficial for the client. I consider long-term therapy to be a process lasting more than six months – but everything is adapted to the individual needs of the client. Discreet and anonymous consultations are a matter of course.
I focus on working with developmental and complex trauma, which may manifest as unspecified anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship problems, chronic dissatisfaction, emotional overwhelm, or obsessive thoughts. I view trauma more as a profound human experience than as a diagnosis. In therapy, I create space for sensitive and supportive exploration of these themes.
I offer the possibility of psychotherapy in a natural environment – for example, in a forest. This method of work supports deeper connection with oneself, facilitates introspection, and brings new perspectives to the themes being addressed. Nature therapy helps reduce stress and strengthen inner balance.
At the beginning of each couples therapy, we focus on the expectations of both partners. I believe that understanding is the foundation of a healthy relationship. The goal of our joint work is to improve communication, deepen understanding, and clarify mutual needs. Sometimes the process leads to greater closeness and relationship renewal, other times to a calm and respectful separation. Both paths can be healing and beneficial.
I offer a safe space for processing and integrating psychedelic experiences. I help understand the meaning of these experiences, incorporate them into daily life, and use them as an opportunity for personal growth and stabilization after deep inner processes.
I offer discounts to students, seniors, and people in challenging financial situations. Pricing for companies and organizations is negotiable. Payment is possible by cash, credit card, or bank transfer.
For scheduling sessions and their payment, I also use the Lumi application. By participating in the sessions, you agree to the processing of your personal data. You can find more information in the terms here.
If you need to cancel an appointment, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance. Otherwise, the full fee will be charged.
Your employer might offer psychological services through an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). I collaborate with several EAP agencies – check with your employer.
You can apply for a contribution for psychosocial support from most health insurance companies (VZP, OZP, ČPZP, ZPŠ...) for therapy with me. I will gladly provide more information.
