What is...

Crisis Intervention

is an immediate emergency session that aims to help with mental or emotional distress. In the case, you have recently gone through a traumatic situation or your mental condition suddenly changed and you feel like you are losing control over your thoughts, feelings, or actions, a consultation can help to make you feel more grounded. Part of the help is often also directing you to another specialist (a psychiatrist or a specialized crisis center, etc.). 

Individual psychotherapy

is a long-term and deeper way of working on your issues. Sessions are 50 minutes long, once a week. The length of the psychotherapy differs from person to person as each of us is different. The usual length can be from 6 months to 2 years. The aim of this form of help isn't just to relieve acute distress, but also to provide deeper insight into your problems and create changes in personality patterns and relationship dynamics to become stronger, more stable, and aware of your self and your needs.

Help for Ukrainne

I have been trained in ASSYST method, which is derived from EMDR technique. ASSYST is a short-term intervention, that helps to process distressing and paralysing memories of a sudden trauma. The technique includes recalling the distressing memory and an easy exercise, that helps to decrease distress connected with the memory. The intervention should happen within a 3 months after the traumatizing event, and as soon as possible. If treated by ASSYST early enough, one can avoid the development of PTSD.

Basic language skills (English or Czech) are sufficient since the method is based more on instructions than a dialogue.

ASSYST interventions are provided free of charge for those who have experienced war trauma and are limited to 4 sessions. My initiative is aimed to be a support for Ukraine in the war times.
