Therapy

• I only work individually with adults – I do not do couples therapy or work with children.
• Therapy is fully paid for by the client.

• Think about what topic you are coming up with. It is helpful to think about:
  • How and when did your problem start?
  • What are the implications for your daily life?
  • What would you like to address in therapy?
  • What would an ideal change look like?

You can also think about how often you would be comfortable meeting.

• In person – in my therapy room in Prague (Urxova 6).
• Online – via video call.

It is always important to have a quiet environment where you will not be disturbed. If you are in online therapy and do not have privacy at home, you can connect from your car, for example.

• I do not require any personal information and I keep my notes anonymous.
• When I talk about clients in supervision, I always do so completely anonymously.

If you do not want me to take your case into supervision at all, I respect that.

It’s up to you. The usual frequency is once a week or once every 14 days, but it can be arranged individually.

Yes, but only exceptionally. Sometimes I need to reschedule if another client has a crisis that needs urgent support.

• Cancellation within 48 hours → free.
• Cancellation less than 48 hours → you pay the entire session, but if I find a replacement client, I do not ask for a refund.

Apologies via SMS / WhatsApp please – I do not read email every day.

• Come sober – therapy is most effective when you are in good touch with yourself.
• Turn off your phone – if possible, immerse yourself fully in the process.

• Relaxation and breathing exercises
• Work with the body and energy circulation
• Mindfulness and somatic techniques

Each process is individual. Short-term therapy can last several weeks or months, while for deeper issues, the collaboration can be long-term (1 year or more).

Yes, you can try one session and then decide if my approach suits you. However, I recommend planning for at least a few sessions, as changes usually don’t come immediately.

Therapeutic confidentiality means that information shared in therapy remains confidential. However, there are situations where the therapist is legally required to break confidentiality and inform the police or other authorities.

This applies in particular to cases where confidentiality could endanger someone’s life, health or safety. Situations that fall under the duty to report include:

1) Planning a serious crime

If the client discloses that they are planning to intentionally harm someone, such as:

• Physical assault, murder or other violent crime.
• Sexual violence against a child or adult.
• Terrorist activity or a threat to the public.

In such cases, the therapist is legally required to inform the police.

2) Abuse, exploitation or endangerment of a minor

If the therapist discovers that a child is being abused, exploited or endangered, they must inform the OSPOD (social and legal child protection authority). This also applies in cases of:

Domestic violence, if children are present.

Neglect of care for a child to an extent that endangers his health or life.

Sexual abuse or other forms of serious harm to a child.

3) Immediate threat to life

If the client talks about suicide and has a specific plan (e.g. “I’m going to jump off a bridge tomorrow”), the therapist can contact a crisis line or a medical facility to ensure the client’s safety.

If the client is threatening someone else, the therapist has a duty to warn the person at risk and inform the police.
