Who you’d be talking to.

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.

What I collect

If you use the contact form: your name, e-mail address and the message you write. The form is handled by Netlify, which stores the submission so I can read it. If you book a session: the name, e-mail address and time slot you give the booking calendar, which is run by Cal.com. If you pay for the session online, the payment is processed by the payment provider Cal.com uses. I never see or store your card details.

Why, and on what legal basis

To arrange and confirm sessions (performance of a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and to answer your enquiry (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Anything you tell me in a session is covered by professional confidentiality and is never shared without your consent, except where the law requires it.

Cookies and tracking

This site loads no analytics or advertising scripts until you agree to them. If you accept, Google Ads conversion tracking is loaded, which sets its own cookies and tells me that an enquiry came from an advert, without telling me who you are. If you decline, or simply ignore the banner, nothing is loaded. You can change your mind at any time using the button below.

Web fonts are served by bunny.net, which does not profile visitors. The booking calendar is embedded from Cal.com, which sets its own cookies once you interact with it. The site itself is hosted by Netlify, which keeps standard server logs.

Your rights

You can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, portability, or object to processing. Write to me and I will handle it. You can also complain to the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (ÚOOÚ).

How long I keep it

Enquiries that do not lead to work together are deleted within a year. Records related to sessions are kept for the minimum period the law requires.
