Psychotherapy · Prague 7 – Letná

A space where you can be yourself.

In psychotherapy, I combine talking with attention to the body and emotions. I help individuals and couples make sense of what they’re going through and find their own way forward.

Individual therapy

1 900 CZK · 50 minutes · in person or onlineI bring the body, breath and emotions into our conversations.

  • Anxiety and panic → to calm short technique: Longer exhale How I work with it

    → to calm

    Anxiety and panic

    What it looks like

    • Your body is on alert even when nothing is happening
    • You avoid places where it might hit
    • You wake at night with pressure in your chest

    How we work with it

    First we stop fighting the anxiety and look at where it sits in the body and what it’s protecting you from. Then we look for what loosens its grip — breath, boundaries, things left unsaid. Anxiety is usually a guardian, not an enemy.

    Longer exhale

    Breathe in for three, out for six. A few minutes. A longer exhale helps the body slow down, even when the mind is still racing.

  • Burnout → back to energy How I work with it

    → back to energy

    Burnout

    What it looks like

    • Sleep no longer helps
    • Work you used to love is now just something to get through
    • Cynicism where there used to be curiosity

    How we work with it

    We look for where your energy is draining away and what you’re carrying for others. Burnout isn’t weakness — it’s the bill for running on empty for too long. We work on boundaries and on making rest actually restful again.

    → to enjoying life again

    Sadness and emptiness

    What it looks like

    • Things you used to enjoy don’t bring you joy anymore
    • Mornings are the hardest part of the day
    • You feel like it’s going nowhere

    How we work with it

    We give sadness room and time — it can’t be skipped or reasoned away. We look for what keeps you going and, in time, for what comes next. At your pace, not the calendar’s.

Couples therapy

  • The same conflict over and over → to common ground short technique: Mirroring How I work with it

    → to common ground

    The same conflict over and over

    What it looks like

    • An argument starts with something small and ends up being about everything
    • You know the script in advance but can’t step out of it
    • After a fight, the silence lasts for days

    How we work with it

    In session we slow the conflict down right where it breaks down. We learn to voice a need without blaming, and to hear the other person even when it doesn’t match our own version of events. We’re not looking for who’s right.

    Try it now

    Mirroring

    Before you answer, repeat in your own words what you heard. Then say your piece. It can slow the conversation down and help both partners feel more heard.

  • Lost trust → to repair How I work with it

    → to repair

    Lost trust

    What it looks like

    • Something happened and it hasn’t been the same since
    • You check up on them even though you don’t want to
    • There was an apology, but it didn’t help

    How we work with it

    Trust isn’t rebuilt by a promise, but by repeated experience. We open the wound carefully enough that you can both stay with it, and look for what will keep it closed — which agreements, how much transparency.

  • Distance → back to closeness How I work with it

    → back to closeness

    Distance

    What it looks like

    • You function more like roommates
    • Intimacy has faded and nobody talks about it
    • You feel more at ease when your partner isn’t around

    How we work with it

    Distance is usually a defense, not indifference. We look for what you’re protecting yourselves from and take the first small steps back — first in the body, only then in words.

Everything couples bring to therapy

Not sure whether to come alone or together?

Write to me in your own words and we’ll decide together at the first session.

What therapy with me looks like

You don’t need to have any of this figured out in advance. We’ll work it all out as we go.

You send me a few lines

You don’t have to get the wording “right.” I’ll reply within two business days and suggest a time.

We get to know each other

You tell me what brings you here; I tell you how I work. Then you decide for yourself whether you want to continue.

Help now, or deeper work

Sometimes a few sessions are enough to get you through a crisis. Other times we look at what keeps repeating in your life. You don’t need to know in advance, and the format can change at any time.

Talking and the body

We talk, and we also notice breath, tension and posture. What we try and what we don’t is up to you.

Who you’ll be working with

I’m not here to tell you how to live. I’m here so you don’t have to go through it alone.

People don’t come to therapy because they failed at something. They come because they’ve carried something alone for too long. My job is to create a space where you can set it down for a while and look at it.

I also work with the body — breath, tension, posture. The body often picks up on things we can’t yet put into words.

  • Five-year training in body-oriented psychotherapy. We don’t work only with what can be said. We also notice breath, tension and movement – they often reveal what words can’t reach yet.
  • Accredited by the Czech Association for Body-Oriented Psychotherapy. The training meets the association’s professional standards, and I follow the EABP code of ethics. So you know what you can count on.
  • Regular supervision. I regularly review my work with an experienced colleague, so you’re not relying on just one perspective.

Let’s set up a first session

Write a few lines about what brings you here. I’ll get back to you within two business days.
