Use this opportunity to tell me about your situation.
What do I believe in?
I believe our past – regrets, unfulfilled ambitions, dysfunctional behavioural patterns, crashed relationships – doesn’t need to define our future. On the contrary – we can use our unique experience in creating a future according to our own wishes. Once we find out who we are today, what fulfils us and what we really want, it becomes easy to continue with a clear mind and make conscious choices, which change our life for the better. I will support your unique potential and the ability to reach your goals in your own way.
Who are my clients?
My clients are individuals who approach me in situations when they need support from somebody outside of their relationships. Frequently, they describe their problems, however I perceive them more as people, who have gathered their courage and want to develop themselves, change their behaviour or improve in a certain area. Most likely they have already tried several things, some of which work, yet there are some challenges to overcome. For these people I become a partner in their efforts and accompany them on a short part of their path. My goal is that they can proceed on their own as soon as possible.

About me

More about me
- After graduating from Psychology, I started working as an executive search consultant, directly approaching candidates for executive positions, mainly in the automotive industry.
- I have worked in the criminal justice area as a prison psychologist and also in a leadership role. I was creating personality profiles of inmates, and also assessing prison staff candidates and judges. Later I was leading more than 70 prison psychologists in multiple locations, implemented new processes and policies, supervised and audited their execution.
- I have returned to the business world and became involved in the learning and development of employees and managers. I have been assessing the current status of their competencies, consulted creation of individual development plans, and delivered training programs aimed at improving different soft skills, focusing on communication, conflict resolution, personal and team effectiveness, and leadership. I have spent hundreds of training days in different multinational companies.
- In the NGO sector, I have combined my experience from working with a specific target group in prison setting and also developing people’s potential in business, and after completing a long-term training in Germany I have become the first certified trainer for people who are behaving violently in their intimate relationships in Slovakia.
- I lead a NGO Liberate (www.liberate.sk), where, with a team of enthusiastic colleagues, we support people who want to change their behaviour and have better relationships without violence and manipulation.
