Who am I ?

I am a medical doctor and psychotherapist specialised in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Integrative Psychotherapy. I live in Prague, Czech Republic and I am a registered and certified member of Czech Association for Psychotherapy (Česká asociace pro psychoterapii).

Before turning to psychotherapy, I worked for more than 20 years in a corporate environment and enjoyed the comfortable and secure life I had, but I felt that I could offer more to people and myself. Understanding how the mind works was the key for me to live a meaningful life. I wanted to understand how people who had gone through horrible experiences managed to survive and appreciate life and how people who seemed to have been given everything did not enjoy their life and destroyed themselves.

I took courses in coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Human Resources, philosophy of religion and things started to take shape, but were still vague and missing consistency. Eventually, I decided to study psychotherapy and the puzzle began to fall into place.

I cannot promise that therapy with me will be a joyful journey all the time. Therapy can be sometimes a painful process, but you have to get worse before you get better. You have to face your shadows, confront your demons before being able to make peace with them, and ultimately part with them. But how wonderful it is when you finally get there, isn’t it?
