Therapy
UPDATE (March 2020): Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, I provide online psychological consultations on skype. Read more here.
UPDATE (January 2020): With my current state of the waiting list, I can no longer guarantee a session in the following 6 months. Therefore, I have temporarily stopped signing new clients on it. I will update it again in April 2020. Thank you for your understanding.
Unfortunately I am not aware of other English speaking therapists in Brno with services covered by health insurance. But I do recommend two private therapists (which also means shorter waiting time or working till later afternoon):
Aleksandra Samardziev: https://psychotherapybrno.cz/ Tomas Andrasik: https://www.tomandrasik.cz/en/
My approach combines methods of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotion-Focused therapy, both learned during my studies in Switzerland. Furthermore, I am in a systematic psychotherapy training of Gestalt Therapy. At the moment, approximately half of my clients are foreigners.
The services I provide are fully covered by Czech health insurance since July 2019 (all insurance companies except 213). It is necessary to have a recommendation for psychotherapy from your GP/psychiatrist/neurologist. The recommendation should be max 3 months old, so it is practical to visit your doctor after we have planned the first session.
What is realistic to expect from our sessions:
- Gaining emotional support
- New perspective or insights
- Better understanding of self and others
- Learning new skills
- More self-compassion
- Exploring what is there deeper
I will be happy to provide further information by email: psycholog.medalova@gmail.com or put your name on the waiting list straight away. You can expect an email confirmation within 1-3 days.
Put your name on the waiting list
My capacity is completely full at the moment. Once I open the list again, the waiting time is usually several months. I work in Brno Monday-Thursday from 8am till 4pm. One session lasts 45 minutes.
