Who am I?
- I completed six years of psychotherapy training in integrative Gestalt therapy (INSTEP).
- I am currently attending a three-year integrative training course in body-oriented therapy and trauma work (Soma Care Institute).
- Since 2023, I have been working as a therapist with the AdiCare psychotherapy clinic.
- I have spent around 3,000 hours in therapy with my clients.
- I have attended a number of seminars and courses, such as training in the method of anger management (LOM), CBT courses in working with emotional regulation (AdiCare), NLP courses (Academy of Modern Applied Psychology), Ericksonian hypnotherapy, and body-oriented therapeutic methods (Compassionate Inquiry, IFS, etc.).
- I am a full member of the Czech Association for Psychotherapy and the Czech Society for Gestalt Therapy.
- I studied philosophy at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in Prague, where I obtained my PhD in 2010.
- In addition to my therapeutic practice, I have taught and worked on academic projects. For many years, I have been involved in book publishing (as an editor, editor-in-chief, translator, and author).
- I have an adult son and two daughters.
- I live in Prague, where I was born.
What do I do in therapy?
- First and foremost, the client's needs, wishes, and expectations are important. I tailor therapy or consultations to these based on mutual agreement. We usually establish this during the first session, and we return to it after some time.
- I base my work on the principles of humanistic psychotherapy. That means - empathetic and compassionate approach, supportive relationship, safe space.
- At the same time, I work with specific interventions—therapy is not just about talking and listening!
- As an integrative therapist, I draw inspiration from other areas such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), neurolinguistic programming (NLP), hypnotherapy, mindfulness, Pesso-Boyden, biosynthesis, Compassionate Inquiry (CI), and others.
- Theoretically, I draw on existential philosophy, phenomenology, Martin Buber's dialogical philosophy, and the thinking of C. G. Jung. I am open to Christian spirituality, but also to the practical aspects of Eastern philosophy, yoga, and Zen meditation. I have long been interested in medieval mysticism, and I am drawn to the Renaissance concept of the organic relationship between humans and nature, which I consider to be inspiring and healing to this day.
- I adhere to the code of ethics of the Czech Association for Psychotherapy (ČAP), of which I am a member.
- I provide therapy in Czech, English and German
