Therapists in Winterthur

I offer psychological counseling and therapy in English and Czech in person and online. I support my clients on their difficult pathways as well as on their personal growth and self-discovery journeys. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where we can look closely at your feelings and situations from different perspectives to find a path you would like to follow. I believe that everyone has "the solution" within themselves. However, occasionally we need someone who listens, supports, and gives us space to find the inner voice we all own.

"We live life forwards, but only understand it backwards" - Søren Kirgegaard. As a systemic counsellor and therapist, I always see people as part of a system. What they experience there, which values are represented and how they communicate with each other decisively shapes us. Like a mobile, every link and every movement has an influence on the rest of the system. This way of looking at things helps us to look at our own system from a distance, to better understand its origins and connections and to initiate appropriate changes.

There are always times in life when insecurities, fears or a crisis can occur. In these times it can be helpful to clarify arising questions in an individual setting. It is my intention to offer psychological support in difficult times, while also highlighting your personal strengths and resources.

I always learn from the teens, young adults & families I’ve worked with, but this is most important for me to remember: Even behaviors that may appear ineffective from the outside looking in, usually have wisdom at their core. When a person is in pain, they generally want to feel better. My clients all come to therapy because what they’ve been doing to feel better ultimately isn’t working any longer. We work together to address what’s at the core of their pain & focus on managing that more effectively, without negative repercussions. We will together build a set of skills to help them feel more empowered & effective in their life.

Together we explore in complex or/and challenging life and work situations your personal strenghts and ressources. I work with empathy, kindness, social intelligence and on *eye level*, respectful and humorous (if it fits).

Emotion complements reason in ways which can be confusing, especially considering the social animal we are as humans: living with remarkable sensitivity to one another. Emotion guides us toward knowing our unmet needs. In therapy, only you can be the expert of your inner world's path. It is an honor to accompany you while maintaining focus on your goals, limiting distraction and avoidance behaviors, and fostering opportunities for appropriate self advocacy and self compassion.
