Welcome to my site!
My name is Jitka and I provide individual psychotherapy and psychological counseling for adults.
Psychotherapy and Counseling
I see working with the people who come to me mainly as a dialogue in which we work together to understand ourselves, their difficulties, but also their own resources, on which they can rely. Above all, I try to create a relationship and a space in which they will feel safe and free.
My approach to therapy is based primarily on the values of client-centered psychotherapy (Rogers psychotherapy) as well as an integrative / pluralistic perspective. The concrete form of working together always arises in the process of an agreement between me and the clients so that it is in accordance with their individual preferences, goals, or areas that they currently want to pursue. It is not close to anyone to "apply" a treatment or method that I would decide, but rather to offer ways in which we can work and agree on what one finds useful.
I have been involved in clients as part of private psychological practice since 2018. I work in accordance with the ethical standards of the Czech Association for Psychotherapy, of which I am a member.
