Currently, I hold a degree in Intercultural Communication from Charles University in Prague and am also in the final stages of completing a second degree in Psychology. Over the years, I have trained internationally as a volunteer with multiple crisis intervention programs and helplines, including Teléfono de la Esperanza Spain, Suicide Crisis Training by the Autonomous University of Madrid, and Griefline Australia. I have 15 years of experience building close supportive relationships with people while working as a language teacher, yoga instructor and community interpreter.

In the process of becoming an EFT therapist, I have completed all core training for Emotionally Focused Couples and Individual Therapy (EFCT and EFIT), and extensive additional EFT training. Currently, I am a member of ICEEFT (International Centre for Excellence in EFT) and MCEFT (Melbourne Community for EFT), where I have previously contributed as a committee member. I continue to pursue further training in the model and study it on a daily basis. I facilitate and participate in several EFT peer learning groups and I receive regular mentoring and professional supervision of my work.

As I immersed myself into working as an EFT therapist, I immediately felt a sense of relief. I had found a model that works with people exactly the way I wish to work with them – not feeling forceful or prescriptive, yet at the same time having a confident approach to tapping into our experience, strengthening bonds and decreasing distress. EFT approaches people with the understanding that we are all trying our best, given the cards life has dealt us. The model is evidence-based, and solidly backed by numerous studies that confirm the model’s efficacy, excellent follow-up results, and significant progress that continues after therapy. Being an EFT therapist has been an absolute game changer for me, personally and professionally.
