A therapeutical process in my understanding is a way to give people back to themselves. Through creating a deeply human bond, experiencing dynamics between us and inside themselves, we explore the shape of a challenging situation. People develop profound insights into their lives, the areas that can cause anxiety and worries and limit their potential, and also into spaces that can make them happy and able to enjoy an entirely new sense of well-being and safety. Together we carefully touch old dysfunctional patterns, and with high respect, we gently release them.

I provide children, adult individual and couple´s therapy in Ghent, Belgium, and Prague, Czech Republic. I gained broader international therapeutic experience in for example Colorado or California, USA, and I'm familiar with Belgian cultural context and current therapeutic and research standards. Even though I understand (een beetje) Dutch, the therapy itself is provided either in English, Czech or Slovak language.

My role as a therapist is to guide you through challenging times, point out what may be hidden, and help you activate and incorporate desired changes into everyday life in a harmonious manner. As a researcher, I primarily use evidence-based methods, looking at an individual's experiences in a holistic, systemic way. Using an integrative approach, I select efficient methods from various therapeutic approaches such as CBT, psycho-dynamic, existential therapy, nonverbal drama-therapy, or guided imagery methods. For every person, I create individualized protocol according to his or her specific needs to achieve the kindest and most effective treatment possible.

Mostly I like to help with: Relationship issues; Communications troubles; Management of traumatic life events, crisis intervention; Stress-related issues and post-traumatic syndrome; Fears, panic, anxiety and confidence issues; Violence and abuse – close relationships, child abuse, violence in classrooms, etc.; Troubles raising from intercultural contexts or disadvantaged conditions; or „just“ leading towards a personal growth and tuning out or balancing some life areas.

Even though I do have wide scientific and professional background, when sitting down and facing a human being, I respect and honor individuality and create space for deeply human conversation, meeting in a phenomenological dialogue. Keeping absolute confidentiality with regard to all the information you provide is, of course, a basic rule. I´m a member of Czech Association for Psychotherapy (CAP) and I follow the Code of Ethics of the European Psychotherapy Association (EAP).
