Michal Podraský

I hold a Master’s degree in psychology and am practicing in a humanistic, person-centred approach. Before moving into therapy, I worked for four years as a social worker, supporting people through complex and often very difficult life situations. That experience shaped me deeply, both personally and professionally, and continues to influence how I meet people in therapeutic work.

I have always been drawn to therapy through a deep interest in the inner experience—how we make sense of ourselves, how we relate to others, and what happens inside us when life becomes overwhelming. For me, this curiosity isn't just academic; it’s what allows me to stay genuinely engaged with your unique story. It ensures that you are never just 'another case' to me, but a person I am truly present with.

My work has taught me the importance of staying present in difficult moments and not rushing people toward solutions. It strengthened my belief that people are not problems to be fixed, but individuals who need space, understanding, and respect. In my work, I aim to offer a warm, calm, and non-judgmental space where you can speak freely and be as you are. I trust that when someone feels truly heard and accepted, change begins to unfold at its own natural pace.
