PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING
AND THERAPY
IN BRNO
Welcome
The decision to start seeing a therapist is an important one. Each of us has a capacity to feel more free and satisfied in their life. The process of therapy supports you in finding new gateways instead of the dead ends.
My approach
I draw on Narrative, Collaborative-Dialogical and Body-oriented approaches. My main therapeutic tool is asking therapeutic questions developing reflection. This supports my clients in exploring their experience and emotions and enables them to understand them in a meaningful way. By exploring needs, values and wishes that might be obscured by the complexity of the situation, we disentangle the aspects of the issue. Based on this we search for the possible ways of being that are aligned with one´s desires, hopes and values on the one hand, while functional within one´s surrounding on the other. Principles of partnership, transparency and empowerment of my clients´ strengths and capabilities are crucial to me. When useful, I can offer various techniques including playful metaphors, body and breath exercises, or structured procedures.

About me
I attained a Master´s degree in Psychology at FSS Masaryk University in 2015. In 2022 I finished a certified complex 5-year Psychotherapy Training Program in Systemic, Solution-focused and Narrative approach in Gaudia Institute, where I also attend regular individual and group supervisions of my work. I completed a training in Crisis Intervention in 2015.
Since 2011, I´ve been continuously and passionately educating myself via trainings, workshops and self-study in Narrative, Dialogical and Collaborative Therapy, Mindfulness Practice and Body-oriented therapy approaches.
I am a regular member of the Czech Association for Psychotherapy and I follow the ethical principles of European Association for Psychotherapy. I am a member of the Narativ Association and MYCELIUM - a collective providing psychosocial support for social and environmental movements members.
Apart from therapy I dedicate my time and enthusiasm to my PhD. study of diversity and local migrant incorporation at FSS MUNI, walks in the forest and my lovely garden.
What my clients say
I started seeing Lucia at a very low point in my life. She was very supportive and determined to help me. At this point I had already seen several other therapists before but Lucia was the only person who showed a tremendous amount of empathy and interest towards my issues. After several months of sessions with her I had already seen major improvements in my life and I felt I could trust her with anything without fearing any judgement and she would be always honest with me. You can tell from the first time you talk with her that she genuinely wants to help people.
