In my work, I find
my own humility, curiosity and compassion,
and the courage, trust and wisdom of others.
As a psychologist and therapist, I help anyone who has the courage to address the difficulties or challenges they face in life
I am a partner on the journey of change.
I respect the fragility of challenging times in life as well as the need for the occasional "nudge".
What I offer
I focus primarily on individual therapy and personal development for adult clients.
Meetings can be in person or online, in Czech or English.
Important elements of my style of working with
clients and how I support them are:
Awareness
We build and increase awareness of life's context by experiencing it in the present moment. Together with clients we strengthen the skill of mindfulness without evaluation.
Accountability
We examine how clients affect themselves and their environment. We discover what their place in life is and how it affects them and their surroundings.
Freedom
We
discover pathways to a greater degree of freedom and contentment in life.
Experiment
We
experiment with new experiences and skills. Therapy is a safe space to try new ways of dealing with oneself or one's environment.
Holism
We tend to the full continuum of experience: thoughts, feelings, bodily
sensations and the transpersonal/spiritual overlap of experience. I shape my
approach to the needs and capabilities of each client.
Therapeutic areas
I work with people, not diagnoses.
However, it could be assessed that I most often work with people who have experienced anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, people dealing with personality disorders or its problematic structure, addiction, people processing the finality of life, or those integrating psychedelic experience.

About me
I see personal development and psychotherapy as a space to meet our inner healing intelligence. Encountering this inner essence of my clients is very intimate for me, as well as a source of personal inspiration and one of the important reasons why I do this work. What I enjoy about therapy is when it becomes a meditation in dialogue.
In addition to my private practice, I am currently working as a psychologist at the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute in Brno, collaborating with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies on the development of a therapy for people suffering from post-traumatic disorder using the drug MDMA, consulting in the field of clinical research and teaching the Experimental Psychopharmacology course at Charles University. I co-founded the Czech Psychedelic Society, of which I am still a member. I am also a member of the Czech Association for Psychotherapy.
I studied psychology at the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University and graduated in 2013, passing a state exam in clinical psychology. I am professionally qualified as a psychologist in health care. Currently, I am completing the 6th year of the accredited psychotherapy training of the Institute of Gestalt Studies supervised by Dr. Jan Roubal. I am continually furthering my education, now primarily through medical pre-attestation preparation and attending conferences. I regularly consult my work during professional supervision sessions.
Part of my career I have also worked in the management of healthcare and research institutions as a quality manager. My experience in process management of groups of people and complex systems in an international environment has enriched my receptivity and imagination. I focused on the flow process of information, material and people. Now I focus on the flow process of what my client and I experience during the dialogical and existential encounter with each other.
I am married and have two children. I enjoy the quiet of nature and the energy of music and dance. I try to guard the limits of my own strength so that I could be a helpful therapist as well as a happy person in the long term.

Confidentiality and ethics

I keep notes of sessions in electronic form, secured against access by other people.
I have also been involved in data protection during my work at the Masaryk University Faculty of Medicine and at the International Clinical Research Centre of St. Anne's University Hospital. Therefore, I do not underestimate the topic in my therapeutic practice either.
