I am 49 years old, have two children, and was born in Prague in The Czech Republic. I was living in England for ten years, and I moved back to Prague in 2015. I originally trained as a general nurse, but then went on to study religion, pedagogy and social studies, graduating with an MA at Charles University in Prague.

For some time I worked as a nurse, gaining experience in hospice care and mental health.

After that I was a teacher at a nursing school, teaching ethics in health care, communication with patients and psycho-social education. During that time I started deepening my education in psychotherapy, and I continued with my studies in England. 

 

Through my work I’ve realised that the way people feel about different situations is based not only on their circumstances, but also on their personal approach, the support they have from their environment, and their inner resources. If people can connect with their inner resources, support themselves and see more choices, they are generally happier and able to deal even with very hard situations successfully.

 

I believe that no one can know what’s right for somebody else, but that a skilled therapist can help the person to discover it for themselves and make desired changes. That is what I love about my job.
