My professional life has been dedicated to creating spaces where people can have the safety, support and courage to navigate their relationships with others and themselves. 

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 an educator, yoga instructor and community interpreter.

In the process of becoming an EFT therapist, I 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 receive regular mentoring and professional supervision of my work.

When I started 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. EFT isn’t forceful or rigid yet it is a confident, attachment-based approach to tapping into our experience, decreasing distress and strengthening bonds. The model is solidly backed by numerous studies that confirm its efficacy, excellent follow-up results, and significant progress that continues after therapy. And importantly for me, EFT understands that we are all trying our best, given the cards life has dealt us. 

Access to experience – of our loved ones and our own – is the greatest guiding star for life. We all deserve help achieving that. I aim to provide this help through Emotionally Focused Therapy sessions. I would love to hear from you if you want to know more about how I work.
