What I work with, and what I don’t.

You don’t have to be able to describe the problem, or know exactly what you need. You can come with the fact that you can’t put words to it yet.

Who I work with

What people come to me with.

These are the things people come with most often. Yours doesn’t have to be on the list.

Limits

When I am not the right person.

This is here so you don’t find out in session three.

What I offer is psychological counselling rather than psychotherapy. In practice that means we work with what is going on in your life now, rather than reconstructing your childhood, and most people work with me for a few months. I am in psychotherapy training at the PCA Institute and in supervision throughout.

I am not the right person if what you are dealing with needs psychiatric care or a specialised programme. That includes active addiction, psychotic illness, severe OCD, severe eating disorders, and thoughts of ending your life.

This is not about whether you deserve help. It is that this would be the wrong kind of help for you, and I would rather say that now than take your money for six months. If that is where you are, write to me anyway and I will point you somewhere that fits.

If you need help today, in the Czech Republic: 155 for an ambulance, 116 123 for the crisis line, free and around the clock, in Czech and in English. Online counselling is not suitable for an acute crisis.

If you recognised yourself in any of that, there is usually a slot within the week.

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.
