Helping you navigate life changes, conflicts, and relationships
If you are a clinical psychologist who studied in Prague and yet at the same time an expat, you’re probably going to wake up one day having a vision, in which you’re running a mental health clinic that plays an active role in the community. Take this picture, add to it a family with two children and a huge passion for sailing, and that’s me around the year 2000.
As it turned out, the clinic was one of the first in Prague that specialised in providing therapy in English, and the very first in the Czech Republic to conduct Employee Assistance Program for business customers and their employees.
Not much has changed since then, except everything grew bigger: the children, the sailing passion, and the Employee Assistance Program. But it is therapeutic passion and efficiency that has grown the most.
I believe that connectedness - our ability to feel “one with” - is crucial to our mental health and well-being: one with another person, bonded with nature, belonging to a community, immersed in a hobby, having a love affair with a project, connected with oneself. I believe that mental suffering can be caused as much by being disconnected, as by the “usual suspects”, trauma and conflict. I believe that therapy should aim at helping a client feel less disconnected, and more “one with”, in more areas of life.
