“Patient, non-judgemental, understanding psychotherapy”

Verified by Kyan

About Naděžda

I am an attested doctor of clinical psychology and a doctor of philosophy, with 30 years of practice in clinical psychology and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic. I offer individual, couple and family psychotherapy in Czech and English. I work with adults and with young people from the age of 12, across a wide range of psychological difficulties.

For almost 20 years I worked at the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust in London, including the national CBT centre at Maudsley Hospital, and I continued my training there. I trained in cognitive behavioural therapy and in third-wave CBT: mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. In 1992 I co-founded a day hospital at the Psychiatric Clinic of the University Hospital in Plzeň. I founded an eating disorders unit for children and adolescents there, and I co-founded outpatient services for personality disorders using dialectical behaviour therapy. I have taught future doctors at the medical faculty of Charles University, and I have prepared future clinical psychologists in doctoral studies at Canterbury Christ Church University.

My approach is patient, non-judgemental and understanding. I see psychotherapy as a partnership whose aim is that you understand your needs and use your strengths to reach your life goals. I try to help people find a sense of balance through self-knowledge.

How Naděžda works

I offer specialist individual, couple and family psychotherapeutic care, including online, with scientifically confirmed effectiveness. My approach is patient, non-judgemental and understanding. It is based on the belief that psychotherapy is a partnership, so that you can understand your needs and use your strengths to reach your life goals. I try to help people find a sense of balance through self-knowledge, so they can live as good a life as they can. I am trained in cognitive behavioural therapy and in third-wave CBT: mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I also have experience with mentalization-based therapy and with psychoanalytically oriented group therapy. I work with clinically diagnosed psychological problems. Sessions are in Czech or English.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Naděžda works.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions keep each other going. Together you notice the patterns that hold a problem in place and try out new ways of thinking and acting, often with small practical tasks between sessions. It is widely used for anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep problems.

Mindfulness-based therapy

Mindfulness-based therapy uses practices that train attention on the present moment, with openness rather than judgement. Noticing thoughts and feelings without being carried away by them can reduce stress and help break cycles of worry or low mood. Programmes such as MBSR and MBCT are well-known examples.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)

Dialectical behaviour therapy teaches practical skills for intense emotions: getting through moments of distress, calming strong feelings, staying present and handling relationships. It balances accepting yourself as you are with working on change. It was developed for people whose emotions often feel overwhelming, and is often offered as a structured programme.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy helps you make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. The focus is on what matters to you, and on taking steps in that direction even when things feel hard. It is used for stress, anxiety, low mood and long-term pain, among other things.

Coaching

Coaching is goal-oriented support for personal or professional growth. It focuses on where you want to go and the steps to get there, drawing on your strengths and resources. Coaching is not psychotherapy and is not a treatment for mental health conditions.
