A visit can be arranged in three ways:
No, no referral is required to undertake psychotherapy or psychological consultation at our center. Visits are conducted entirely privately.
The waiting time depends on the availability of the selected specialist and your preferred hours. Usually we are able to offer a convenient appointment within a few business days. Current available appointments can be seen in the calendar displayed during booking.
A visit can be canceled or rescheduled free of charge, provided you notify us 24 hours in advance. Such information can be provided by phone or through the reservation system. Cancellation of an appointment after this time will incur a fee for the reserved time of the specialist.
Starting to work with a specialist may be the right thing to do if the life situations and feelings you are experiencing make you unable to cope with them on your own. Sometimes those closest to you can’t be enough support, and existing methods of coping with difficulties don’t bring relief, or are an additional source of further problems.
The purpose of the first visit is primarily for the specialist to gather information. The psychologist/psychotherapist will ask you to describe the difficulties or symptoms you are facing, which were the reason for your decision to seek psychological help. The specialist will ask about the context of the problems experienced, family and work life, as well as the history of interpersonal relationships, etc.
Chances are that at the very first consultation, the psychologist/therapist will share with you his general observations about the nature of your difficulties, as well as determine what type of therapy is most recommended. However, usually the specialist will need more information to understand the specifics of your difficulties and will invite you to several more consultation and diagnostic meetings.
Sometimes a psychologist/psychotherapist may recommend consultation with another specialist, such as a psychologist. Psychiatrist, or sexologist or therapist working in a separate stream.
The first consultation is also an opportunity to get to know the psychologist/therapist and ask him/her questions to dispel your doubts as much as possible.
A standard individual session lasts 50 minutes. In order for psychotherapy to produce the desired results, sessions are usually held regularly, usually once a week.

We help with a wide range of mental difficulties. Our team specializes in, among other things:
While both a psychologist and a psychotherapist specialize in the area of mental health, each has a different expertise and scope of practice.
A psychologist can support in a crisis and provide emergency assistance in difficult moments. We can go to a psychologist for psychological guidance and counseling whenever we feel the need. We do not have to suffer from disorders or struggle with difficulties that seriously affect the our functioning to apply for specialized assistance.
The psychologist will help you get through a crisis situation or provide ad hoc, short-term support in dealing with difficulties concerning daily functioning. These can range from problems at work and stressful life changes to general mood deterioration. In some cases, the psychologist may recommend a visit to a psychotherapist if he has reasons for doing so, which he will certainly inform you about during your visits.
A psychotherapist works on a more long-term basis, and in the process can help you better understand yourself, and in turn, contribute to identifying and changing the mechanisms negatively affecting your life.
The psychotherapist helps resolve difficulties that originate in the patient and the way he or she thinks or behaves. The therapeutic process, compared to the psychological support process, is usually longer, but can lead to more lasting changes in ourselves.
In case of emotional or mental difficulties, it is advisable to first contact a psychologist, who may recommend psychotherapy as a next step.
There are many strands of psychotherapy that are proven to work when it comes to real and lasting improvements in mental health. The choice of therapeutic approach depends mainly on the specific problems reported by the patient.
The therapeutic relationship is a key part of treatment. If you feel uncomfortable, we encourage you to talk openly about it in session – often naming these emotions becomes a breakthrough in therapy. However, if you feel you need a different energy or working method, you have every right to change specialists.
