About me
I am a Gestalt therapist with many years of experience in practice. I have been working in the profession since 2008 and during this time I have accompanied many people in important life processes, crises, searches for support and changes. In my work, I combine the depth of the Gestalt approach, attentiveness to the unique experience of each person and the stable, reliable presence of a psychotherapist. It is important for me to create a safe space in which you can be yourself - with feelings, doubts, questions and true desires. I am often described as a responsible, disciplined and stable therapist. I am attentive to agreements, boundaries and the client's process, I believe in gradual but deep work that gives sustainable results. I work with the following topics: relationships and intimacy family and life scenarios internal conflicts and crisis periods anxiety, loss of support, existential issues the impact of family and intergenerational trauma searching for oneself, one's own desires and meanings In therapy, it is important for me not to "fix" a person, but to help them hear themselves better, become aware of their needs, make choices and build a life that is more in line with themselves. I believe in therapy as a living process of two people meeting, where honesty, contact and gradual but real changes are possible.

Approach
The first session is about getting to know each other and creating a safe space for you. We talk about what brought you to therapy, what requests or difficulties you have now, as well as your expectations and fears. If you have never been to therapy before, that is absolutely normal. I explain how the process works, answer questions, and we agree on the format and pace of work. At the first meeting, you do not need to “speak the right way” or know where to start – just be yourself. I work in a Gestalt approach that helps you become more aware of your feelings, needs, ways of building relationships, and making choices in life. The focus of our work is your current experience, what is happening to you here and now, and how past experiences affect your present. Meetings usually take place once a week and last 50 minutes. Regularity is important for the depth and stability of the process. The duration of therapy is individual: sometimes it is several months to work with a specific request, sometimes it is a longer path of personal change and support. I do not assign mandatory homework, but I may occasionally offer small observations, questions for reflection, or literature recommendations — only if it is relevant and useful for you. I have been working in therapy since 2007, and I value responsibility, clear agreements, and a stable presence. If you are looking for a caring, reliable, and supportive therapist, I invite you to a meeting to get to know each other and see if we are a good fit.
