There is always another story – a story of hope. Together we will find yours!
Let us turn despair into hope!
Therapy indoor (in Kladno)
"Deep down in every sorrow lies pure joy." Friedrich Hölderlin
Things (or people) are often not as they seem at first glance - an ordinary company building near the calm centre of Kladno hides an unusually cosy space enabling (almost) undisturbed conversation and contemplation. Life is not black and white either - what we now see as a disaster may be the beginning of something better that we just cannot see yet...
You will not see any certificates on my walls (I can show them to you on request) - why? Because this is not my school or my museum. I offer a space only for you, for your thoughts, your feelings; no one else is important here: I with my education, my ears, my story, my whole being am just a guide on your journey towards a more contented yourself. I will help you hear what you may not yet see, or discover what is wonderful about you. Because it is there...
Therapy outdoor (in nature)
"And into the woods I go to lose my mind and find my soul." John Muir
Do you know that when we walk, our body produces hormones of happiness? Yes, indeed, regular walking not only helps us improve our fitness, lose some weight or boost our immunity, but it even improves creativity (even Charles Darwin and Steve Jobs are said to have gone for long walks regularly - and my wise, loving grandmother used to enjoy walking, too…) and helps with high blood pressure, insomnia, anxiety and depression. So why not give it a try? And if you are bored when walking alone, take a friend and/or a dog with you... or a therapist! Together, we will be exploring new paths through the woods around Kladno as well as new life perspectives (useful narratives) for you. Come and enjoy the benefits of calm, peaceful natural therapy in an (almost) fresh air near our home. I am looking forward to walking and talking with you...
Therapy online (anywhere)
"Modern technology has overcome all distances, but created no closeness." Martin Heidegger
Psychotherapy works anytime, anwhere. If for whatever reason you cannot come to my Kladno therapy room, we can meet online - maybe just for the first (few) time(s) until you are more confident to meet face to face. I prefer meeting people in person, but even a video chat is better than suffering alone - so why not give it a try? I will be with you and do my best to help you; no matter where we sit or walk, we are human, so we will talk.
It's time to bring humanity, kindness and compassion back to our lives. If this might be what you are looking for, please call or write, I will be happy to assist you with your search for meaning, joy, peace, hope, love... We are closer to each other than anyone tells us. We are people.
About me
My name is Petra. As a child, I liked my name no more than I liked my childhood—especially in the form of "Petruna" used by my somewhat narcissist mother. But now that my childhood is long gone and so is, sadly, my mother, I am at peace with almost everything: with the fact that I will never be famous or rich, that I am not perfectly healthy or beautiful, that I have a poor memory for names, and even with the fact that I am a somewhat slow, overly meticulous Petra.
There are things in life, however, that are harder to come to terms with: in particular, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a meaning in life, of joy or self-confidence, anxiety, depression, sadness, fear, loneliness... and the feeling that no one cares. Please, don't be alone with your pain. Together, we can manage.
As a therapist currently in training, I work under professional supervision. I study psychotherapy at the Prague College of Psychosocial Studies and in a systemic psychotherapy training at the Narratio Institute in Prague. Being a certified interpreter, I can conduct therapeutic conversations in Czech as well as in English.
I work offline and online, with adults and children alike. Therapy is a joyful mission for me. Let yourself be cared for, it is worth it...
