For over 15 years, children and young adults have entrusted me with their stories, questions, and often their pain. Choosing psychological help is rarely the first step; it often comes after a prolonged internal struggle. Many ask themselves: How do I find the right professional? Can I truly entrust myself to this person?
In my experience, successful therapy depends not only on professional methodology but also on the unique connection between client and therapist. This relationship, where two individuals sit opposite one another, often prompts the unspoken question: Who are you, really, as a therapist?
To answer that question, I share a bit of my journey:
I had the privilege of learning from my mentor, Dr. Sára Károly, whose wisdom extended beyond the professional sphere. Dr. Károly believed in guiding the younger generation not for profit, but out of a genuine commitment to the field. Her teachings—shared in the quiet corners of her library—remain a cornerstone of my practice, particularly her preventive approach: the earlier psychological support is provided, whether for a child or an adult, the better the chances for a full recovery.
I view psychological diagnosis as fundamentally relational. Whether working with children or adults, diagnostics not only identify potential clinical issues but also explore the individual’s relational history—traumas, strengths, and the patterns that shape healing. Dr. Károly often said, “We also receive each other as a task.” This wisdom underscores the therapeutic relationship as a unique bond with the potential to heal through professional communication and symbolic tools.
I have always been drawn to connections—between symptoms, deeper layers of personality, and the relationships that shape us. Psychological work often involves painful realizations, but these are essential for lasting change. Beneath every conflict lies a striving for understanding, clarity, and connection. My goal is to facilitate this process for my clients, supporting their journey toward growth and healing.
Beyond my therapeutic practice, I contribute as a consultant for NGOs, including the Hungarian Human Dignity Project. I enjoy giving lectures, leading self-awareness groups, and facilitating workshops, but my true passion lies in individual therapeutic work. My experience includes seven years with the Pedagogical Service, roles in private clinics, assignments in kindergartens, and a year with the Murmo team—renowned for high-quality child psychiatric rehabilitation in Hungary. Today, I run my private practice, working with children, young adults, and their families.
