I studied psychology at the University of New York in Prague and I am in psychotherapy training at the PCA Institute. Before private practice I spent five years in frontline social work in Prague, which mostly meant sitting with people on the worst day of their year without flinching. That is still the part of this job I am best at.
When you come to someone at a point where things are coming apart, what you mostly need to know is that the other person can hold it. That they won’t flinch, won’t start minimising it, and won’t push you toward a quick fix. That is work I am good at. Getting your bearings, putting words to what is happening, and looking for a way forward is something we then do together.
You know everything about your life that I don’t. I know how not to stay stuck in it alone. This isn’t me handing you a set of instructions. It is that you won’t be carrying it by yourself, and that we can hold it steady long enough for something in it to come into focus.
I work in Czech and in English, and a good part of my practice is people living outside the country they are from. If that is you, you won’t have to explain the basics: what it is like when your second language is good enough for the shop and not for anything that matters, or when the people you built a life around here keep leaving.
I am in regular supervision, which means my work is reviewed by a more experienced psychologist. That is a standard part of doing this properly, and it is worth asking any psychologist you are considering whether they have it.
If that sounds like a fit, there is usually a slot within the week.
