Something feels off, not a crisis, just a quiet sense that you're not quite living your own life. I offer a calm, honest space where you can slow down, be heard, and find your own way back to yourself.

About me
I was drawn to psychology by a specific curiosity: why some people feel like strangers to themselves. Not people in crisis, but people who function, who get through the day, and still carry a quiet sense that they're not quite living their own life.
That question shapes everything about how I work.
I hold a Master's degree in psychology from the University of New York in Prague and I'm completing my psychotherapy training at the PCA Institute. My approach is person-centred, which means I don't come with a plan, a diagnosis, or advice. I come with genuine attention to what you say, and what lies beneath it.
Sessions move at your pace. There's nothing to perform, nothing to have figured out before you arrive. Most people find that being truly heard, without judgment, without being told what to do, is itself the beginning of something shifting.
I work in English and Czech, online, with individuals from anywhere.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
My work is grounded in the person-centred approach. I believe you already hold what you need, it just needs space to surface.
In sessions I don't ask rapid questions or push toward conclusions. I pay attention to what you say, and to what seems to sit just beneath it. We work at your pace, and you lead. My role is to be present, honest, and genuinely curious about your experience, not to fix or advise.
This kind of work tends to suit people who sense something is off but can't quite name it yet. People who want to understand themselves better, not just manage symptoms.
Experience
4 years of Social Work
Charita Česká republika
I worked for four years as a social worker within a charity, supporting people in complex and often challenging life situations. This experience deeply influenced how I work with others. It taught me to listen attentively, to remain present in difficult moments, and to respect each person’s pace and individual story. These values continue to inform my therapeutic approach and how I meet people in my work today.
Education
Master’s and Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology
University of New York in Prague
My academic background gave me a strong foundation in understanding emotional processes, human development, and psychological theory. It also shaped the way I think about therapeutic work with care, reflection, and respect for the complexity of each person’s experience.
