I provide therapy and consultancy for depression, anxiety, self-destructive behaviour, cross-cultural issues, adjustment, and relationship/partnership issues. With great experience in work with addictions, I also treat clients with abuse problems or self harm behaviour (e.g., alcohol, gambling, drugs, eating disorders), client’s significant others and loved ones. This work requires good crisis intervention techniques and motivational work.
In therapy and counselling I focus on the client's needs and experiences of the often-difficult life situations.
From the non-psychological career field can be noted that I worked at the Nadácia otvorenej spoločnosti - Open Society Foundation, where I led the Public health program. In my work I focused on advocacy and research activities supporting protection of the rights and opportunities and improvement of the lives of people using illegal drugs and other disadvantaged minority groups in society (sex workers, people living with HIV / AIDS and others). In the past I also worked for the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia in Vienna, the UN Regional Centre and the Delegation of the European Union.
I completed Master degree in Psychology at the Comenius University in Bratislava. I have certified training in Crisis Intervention, Gestalt therapy (Institute for training in GT, Prague) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (Institute of Emotion-Focused Therapy Ireland, held in Prague). I spent several years living in London, UK.
