20 years of psychological practice

For several years I worked as a psychotherapist and psychologist in spas in Karlovy Vary, where I dealt with the problems of psychosomatic clients, but especially children diagnosed with diabetes, obesity, and parents of children after serious somatic diagnoses (Homolka Hospital, Prague – Karlovy Vary)

I gained experience with partner and family issues in the counseling center for partnerships and family, also externally in cooperation with the Center for Reproductive Medicine in Karlovy Vary.

I gained practice in psychotherapy or in a quick and short psychotherapeutic intervention in the sense of a crisis intervention in a crisis center, on a telephone line of trust and also in a private psychological outpatient clinic in Prague and Karlovy Vary. I devoted myself to conciliar examinations for the needs of hospital facilities.

I focused on people with more serious psychiatric illness, hospitalized in psychiatric hospitals. I regularly prepared cognitive skills trainings for seniors and worked psychotherapeutically with their families (hospitals: St. Petersburg, HB).

I taught:

in the ESF project focused on the psychological preparation of returning to work for unemployed people (West Bohemia)
in the project of obesity prevention for primary school children (within the Czech Republic)
In a private adult education center in teaching psychology (KV)

Position project manager and professional guarantor for further education of psychologists brought me various experiences from work in the field of psychology and education, IPPP CR in Prague.
