I studied Psychology at Comenius University in Bratislava. After completing my studies and gaining work experience in supported housing for people with mental health problems, in a shelter for victime of domestic violence, and in a crisis intervention center, I began working at Centrum Carolina.

I further expanded my education through training in individual coaching. The potential of coaching fascinated me so much that I completed certified non-formal education in eco-coaching, social coaching, and self-coaching in various European countries. I also became a psychologist in healthcare system and integrated my psychological and coaching skills with body-oriented work.

In my practice, I place emphasis on the connection between the body, emotions, and mindfulness. Important values in my work include freedom, humanity, and a respectful relationship.

I studied Psychology at Palacký University in Olomouc (Bc.) and Masaryk University in Brno (Mgr.). I completed comprehensive training in crisis intervention and further developed my experience in the NGO Úsměv mámy, which focuses on maternal mental health. As a volunteer coordinator at DC MUNI POMÁHÁ, I cared for the volunteer community and its mental health through educational activities and methodological support. I also gained experience in the social enterprise Teamium, where I provided individual consultations, facilitated group meetings, and focused on education and team cooperation.

Gradually, I shifted my attention more towards individual coaching. With clients, I focus on working with difficult-to-grasp topics – together, we find ways to clarify and address them so they can strengthen their authenticity, competencies, and broaden their possibilities and potential.

At present, I focus mainly on individual coaching consultations while also working as a psychologist for students with special needs at the Carolina Centre.
