Context matters

I take into account your cultural, family, physical, and life contexts in which you exist. Psychological and sexual well-being is not developed in a vacuum but within real-life relationships, experiences and environments.

Integrative practice

I rely on clinical psychology and modern sexuality. At the same time, I am open to research and new ways of working - where it is relevant, safe and really helps people.

Professional environment

My practice includes regular supervision and collaboration with colleagues from related fields, such as psychologists, doctors and therapists, around the world. This allows me to view the situation from a wider perspective and provide better assistance.

The "RAPPORT" game

On June 2, we will hold a transformative game called "RAPPORT." This is a powerful tool for having real, deep conversations. The game helps to deepen the connection and trust in a couple, to talk about things that were previously kept silent, and to find resources for making real changes in life. It is suitable for both couples and individuals who want to better understand themselves. There is only one spot left! Click on "Join the meeting" and send me a private message!

    Individual and group sessions

    Working with a sexologist often starts with a question about sexuality. But it almost always leads to much more. Sexuality relates to how a person feels intimacy, forms relationships, experiences their body, and perceives themselves. Therefore, therapy can explore not just sexual difficulties but also broader topics such as relationships, personal boundaries, self-image, identity, and values.

    Frequently Asked Questions: answers to your questions

    The answer to your question

    Sexuality is an important part of life, but it is also one of the most discussed topics. Many people struggle with questions about intimate relationships, desire, bodily reactions, or sexual orientation, but they don't have anyone to talk to. Working with a therapist can help individuals better understand their own desires, the dynamics of relationships, and reduce shame and stress surrounding sexuality. It can also help them find more sustainable methods to build intimate connections. Sometimes, this involves addressing specific issues, while at other times it involves exploring one's own identity and relationships.

    The answer to your question

    No, I work with both individuals and couples. Many people seek individual counseling to explore their feelings, desires, bodily reactions, or challenges in relationships. Working with couples allows you to understand the dynamics between the partners, including their expectations, conflicts, different needs, and how to restore intimacy. Individual work can sometimes be the first step and the partner can later join therapy.

    The answer to your question

    No. Many people come to therapy not only with crisis, but also with the desire to better understand themselves, their sexuality or their relationships. It can be helpful for those who feel confused, who want to explore their desires, or who simply want more awareness and freedom when approaching intimacy.

    The answer to your question

    Yes. In my practice, I can discuss any topics related to sexuality, fantasy, forms of relationship, and personal experience. The consulting space is created without judgment or morality. My goal is not to judge, but to assist individuals in better understanding themselves, their limits, and what really works for them.

    The answer to your question

    I conduct consultations while the camera is on. For therapy, it is essential for me to be able to see the person - their facial expressions, reactions and emotional changes throughout the conversation. This allows me to better understand what's going on and maintain a real-time connection during the process.

    The answer to your question

    It depends on the situation. Sometimes, a few meetings can be enough to clarify things or make a decision, but in other cases the work may need to be more extensive, especially if it involves complex relationships or long-term change.
