I use following methods
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
Cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses mostly on identification and change of
negative thinking patterns (cogitatio in Latin)
and change of behavior (behavior in English).
CBT is quite structured, goal-focused and requires active approach from the
client.
While the therapist is
an expert in therapeutic methods, the client is the '"expert" on their own
problems: the therapeutic effect can be achieved through the active involvement
of both participants working together. CBT is demonstrably the most effective
method for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, anxiety, panic
disorders, etc.
Schema therapy
Schema therapy is sometimes referred to as the third wave of cognitive-behavior therapy and combines elements of psychoanalysis, attachment theory, and more.
Unlike CBT, which primarily focuses on changing current behavior and thinking, schema therapy works with early childhood memories and beliefs about oneself that were formed during childhood and adolescence. It uses techniques from other psychotherapeutic approaches, such as imagery, role-playing, etc. Schema therapy methods are particularly suitable for personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, as well as anxiety and depression.
Positive psychotherapy & coaching
Positive
psychotherapy and coaching focus
on working with internal resources
(strengths), helping to strengthen gratitude, mindfulness,
and addressing
trauma and life values.
This approach is suitable for personal growth, strengths-based coaching, boosting self-confidence, and assertiveness and many other problems, be it with adults or children and adolescents.
My theoretical approach is integrative, meaning I draw on a range of theories and techniques to tailor therapy to best suit the person's needs. I work under supervision.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 15 years in senior leadership and consulting roles within international organizations. My background includes human resources, organizational development, change management, learning and development, and risk management across leading financial institutions, including KBC Group, ČSOB, and CREDITAS Group.
I led teams, managed international projects, and partnered closely with senior executives on strategic people and organizational initiatives. This experience gives me a deep understanding of the challenges faced by managers, professionals, and individuals navigating demanding work environments, career transitions, workplace relationships, stress, and burnout.
