I am a therapist and crisis counsellor<\/strong>

\u00b7<\/em> I offer therapy sessions in fluent, natural English<\/em>
\u00b7 I work with individuals in my private practice in Prague 5 and online<\/em>
\u00b7 I am part of the psychotherapist team at Terapie Sacre Coeur<\/a><\/em>
\u00b7 I work as a crisis counsellor at Linka bezpe\u010d\u00ed (Counselling service for kids and youth) <\/a><\/em>
\u00b7 I support women experiencing difficulties during pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood through the non-profit organization Usmev mamy<\/a>.<\/em>
\u00b7<\/em> I\u2019m the mother of a wonderful little girl, the wife of a sports enthusiast, and the housemate of a black cat.<\/em>

I began my practice as a therapist after more than ten years in senior management<\/em>. <\/em> I have worked in the Czech Republic, Australia, and Switzerland, gaining experience in leadership, high-pressure environments, and with adaptability and understanding of a variety of corporate cultures internationally. I understand the personal cost these roles can take. I create space for busy people to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.<\/em> <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How I work<\/h2><\/div>

My work is results-driven, helping you create meaningful change in the areas that matter most to you.\nThis may involve working through strong emotions, difficult circumstances, or times of uncertainty or loss of direction.\n\nI work to understand each client\u2019s unique perspective \u2014 how they see the world, relate to themselves, and pursue their goals.\n\nTherapy is a process that can be demanding and sometimes frustrating. Change rarely happens all at once; it\u2019s a shared journey of exploration and collaboration. 

I often compare therapy to a workout in a gym. I provide professional guidance, but it\u2019s the client who brings the change to their life \u2014 gradually, intentionally, and at their own pace.\n\nI know when to push a little further and when to slow down, ensuring that the effort leads to genuine, lasting change rather than just temporary relief.

One of my strengths is the ability to identify connections, integrate them, and bring structure to them. With years of experience in the corporate world, I understand the pressures of performance, responsibility, and deadlines \u2014 as well as the burnout, quiet frustration, or sense of being lost that can follow\n\nI combine a variety of therapeutic approaches to suit your way of thinking, while also creating space for meaningful change. The goal isn't just to talk \u2014 it's to create real, lasting transformation.
