About me
I am a psychotherapist with the all-level education in psychology and diploma in Positive and transcultural psychotherapy by Nossrat Peseschkian (WAPP). My proffesional route included deep self-introspection, self-reflection and own therapy practice for years behind the hard work on theories, research and learning practical tools.
On my path I gained more than 12 years of experience in educational psychology, inclusive education, accessibility and diversity, helping teachers, parents, youth workers, kids and young learners itself to cope with variety of challenges.
Paralelly to psychology I worked as a mobility and orientation trainer for people with visual impairement, helping them to became more independent and confident in daily life, at work or in learning.
Fortunately my work combined counceling the state stakeholders, international organisations, local govermants and even small companies, to provide better physical, educational or psychological environment for decent life of people in need.
In my diverce practice I am based on humanistic approach, taking person's individual and unique experience into consideration, remembering ones own recources, trusting process of therapy and personal self-development.
I believe that we can cope with all kind of challenges life brings to us, somethimes by ourself but sometimes with the help of others, maybe friends or proffesionals. There is always something to discover within us, there is always space to grow and master our skills.
The worths and strenghs of psychotherapy is the magic force what I have experienced on my own skin and boans, which helped me in a very hard situations and periods of life, giving me new ideas, insights and impulses to open eyes to see the unknown world and think wider, walk further.
I am very happy to have oportunity to build a safe space for others to talk, share, grow personally, find inner recources, get to know with self and keep living with trust, hope, love and passion.

Approach
Since I have an academic education in psychology and a hard way behind me on getting diploma in psychotherapy, I am very much oriented on ethical and proffesional standarts in my therapeutical practice, research or teaching. To keep the quality and stay updayted I participate in annual conferences, congresses, seminars and workshops conducted for mental health proffessionals and practicioners. My work in based on psychodinamic and humanistic approach of understanding human beeing, personality, conflicts and dissorders, always remembering transcultural difference and diverce nature of humanity.
The highest value stayes the ecological going to the client, to care and understand. Therapeutical processes in my work focuses on the whole person and the experiences that have shaped and influenced them. It celebrates a person's will and their ability to adapt and survive a lifetime of challenges.
Positive psychotherapy sees the client and therapist on the same level and admits them as a partners who go together for a while with the goal of continuing going alone with more confidence and independence afterwards.
