We all from time to time face life´s challenges – hardships, disappointments, stress, loss or change – that can strongly influence how we feel, think and behave in our daily lives. Some can be too stressful and overwhelming to go through alone. Whatever life´s difficulties come your way, you do not need to face them on your own: we can look at them and work through them together.

My name is František Cihlář, I am a psychotherapeutic counselor, mentor, personal development guide and relationship and communication specialist. For more than 20 years I have guided individual and couple clients (international as well as Czech) who face various personal, relationship, and work-related issues and deal with different life challenges and pressures or pursuing personal development. My clients work through a plethora of topics such as partner, parent and other relationships, desiring to build and maintain fulfilling relationships. Many deal with intercultural struggles, problems associated with life in a foreign culture and emotional stressors related to relocation and loneliness. Some experience burnout and want to learn how to slow down the rat-race they find themselves in, regain a sense of meaning and purpose in their relationships and activities, or find life´s passion again.

Whether you do not feel happy or content in your life, something troubles you, need to regain a sense of meaning, bring more clarity into your current situation or find a new direction in your life, I am offering you my presence. I can be your guide, your companion in the complex maze of relationships and uncertainties, as you work through overcoming challenges, building relationships, and recovering from life’s setbacks.

My work is based on Carl Rogers´s psychotherapeutic PCA approach. During our consultations, my primary role is as of a guide. Together, as we walk through your current situation, we look for new insights into the often complex and difficult-to solve issues. I generally do not give advice in terms of what to do or not to do and how to proceed. Instead, as we face and explore your needs, worries, desires and difficulties together, I can help you reach your own independent decision and guide you to again find a firm ground and self-confidence. I will be your attentive companion on this journey.

Besides counseling, I am also interested in the mindfulness-based approach and conscious work with the mind, non-religious meditation practices, world cultures, history and its connections to our present time, and the Enneagram typology, among others. I am a parent, a grandparent and a foster parent.

I offer to you my life experiences, my expertise, and my guidance. It is highly important for me to provide my clients with a very safe space, comfortable and confidential environment, attentive listening, empathy, kindness and respect.

My clients come from very diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.

I offer counseling sessions in person (Prague 6, near Hradčanská metro station) as well as online. I work in English, Czech and Russian.

Good listener, help with stress, relationships and procrastination

František has been guiding me in therapy on and off for several years now. Initially, I sought support from him with stress management, which comes from my work in the social work field. Eventually the topics of the sessions extended to my personal topics as well, such as relationships with friends, colleagues and family, and then also to my avoidance and constant postponement of certain work and study duties. During our sessions I speak most... read more

I do not exaggerate when I say that working with František has helped me a lot and improved my life greatly. I used to be skeptical about psychotherapy, but now I can highly recommend it to everyone. For me it was like putting my thoughts neatly back on shelves and making a good cleaning in my head. I can say with certainty that therapy with František has helped me to become more confident and peaceful... and to begin to understand my... read more

Empathy and safe environment

I have attended therapy with Mr. Cihlář regularly for the past five years and up to this day I appreciate his endless empathy, wisdom, and patience. He has provided me with a safe environment as I uncovered my most personal problems and has helped me to find solutions for them. His role in my ability to live a healthy and independent life has been without any doubt crucial. A. G.
