How I work

Therapy for the mind and the body

Everyone's needs are different, so I combine several approaches. I draw on gestalt therapy, dramatherapy and biosynthesis, I work in a trauma-informed way, and where it helps I add elements of coaching, schema therapy or dialectical behaviour therapy. This is not technique for its own sake. The point is that therapy gives you room to breathe and helps you understand what is going on inside you.

First I give you space to show me your world. Gradually I step into it as a guide, offering support or a different angle. We work with the body, movement, breath, metaphors, words and images, because what we experience does not happen only in our heads.

What I draw on

• Gestalt — attention to what is happening here and now, in the relationship between us. Awareness, contact and your own responsibility for what you take from it.
• Dramatherapy — roles, stories, images and metaphors as a safe way to look at what is hard to say directly. Sometimes we play; more often we simply try what it is like to stand somewhere else.
• Biosynthesis — a psychosomatic approach that works with breath, posture and movement. The body remembers what the mind has put away.
• Trauma-informed approach — you set the pace. I never push, and nothing has to open before you are ready.

What the first session looks like

1. Getting to know each other. You tell me what brings you, I tell you how I work. We find out whether we are a good fit — for therapy that matters more than any method.
2. The agreement. Together we name what you want to work on and how you will know it is working. We can revisit this at any time.
3. Rhythm. We usually meet once a week or once every two weeks. The length of our work is not fixed in advance; we talk about ending openly.

What you can rely on

• Confidentiality. Everything said in therapy stays between us, with the sole exception of situations where the law requires otherwise.
• Supervision. I regularly consult my work with a supervisor, as the ethical code of the Czech Association for Psychotherapy requires. Your identity remains protected.
• An equal relationship. I am not the expert on your life — you are. I am a partner for a journey on which you can learn something new about yourself.

An individual session lasts 50 minutes. I will tell you the price and payment options when we first get in touch, so you know what to expect.

Would you like to book a session?

Write to me at bielikova.terapie@gmail.com. A few sentences about what brings you and whether you prefer to meet in person in Prague or online is enough. I will get back to you and we will arrange a first appointment.
