DISCRETION
EXPERTISE
INDIVIDUAL APPROACH
RESPECT
Examples of topics that we often address in counseling and therapy:
- sudden crisis situations
- family problems and relationships
- conflict situations
- support in managing stress, training in using your own coping mechanisms
- recommendations and referrals to appropriate professionals and facilities in the state and private mental health care system
…and much more!
The demand for therapists’ services is high and their capacities are limited. Therefore, we ask clients to arrive on time for therapy sessions. If they are unable to attend for serious reasons, they should let the therapist know at least 24 hours in advance. If these rules are not respected, the therapists may terminate the cooperation.
Our psychologists and therapists
To make an appointment, please contact the selected therapist by email. In the message, briefly state what you are looking for and what form and time of consultation would suit you. The therapist will then contact you and arrange the next steps and date with you.
For adults (Czech, English)

Sergiy Yakymchuk
Facilitator of bodypsychotherapy and transformational development
I offer psychological support to people who are going through difficult periods in their lives, need to mobilize internal resources, overcome fears and blocks, or just gain motivation for transformation and self-development.
The methods I use are based on activating internal self-regulatory and healing processes through bodywork and relaxation (biorelease).
I have completed training in hypnotherapy using the Eriksson method and am currently attending a 6-year Biodynamic Body Psychotherapy training (started in 2018 and led by Monou Lisou Boyesen). It is currently possible to arrange a consultation in Litoměřicích (1 hour from Prague).

Masha Volynsky
Psychotherapist and coach
In my work as a psychotherapist, I am guided by the belief that each of us knows best what suits us at a given moment and what support an sources of energy we have available. I accompany my clients on their journey to what they are looking for and offer them a supportive relationship, openness and understanding, regardless of their origin or life situation.
I have moved from one country to another several times in my life, once as a child and then again as an adult. I know what it is like to adjust to a new culture and environment, the challenges one must overcome while building a new life, and the sense of satisfaction one feels when one overcomes some of these challenges. I work with people who have experienced various traumas, including political persecution, war trauma, and childhood traumas, as well as with people with depression and burnout. I am also interested in working with young adults, and issues of couple dynamics.
I have completed the PCA (Person Centered Approach), self-experience trqining at the Institute in Prague, I have undergone comprehensive training in emotion-focused therapy for working with parents at the University of Oslo, and I am also certified as a personal coach. In the past, I have worked in the media and in several NGOs working with migrants living in the Czech Republic.

John Campbell
Therapist
I am an American living in Prague. I have traveled extensively and lived in many countries.
Being a foreigner is not easy. Cultural differences can be enjoyable, but they can also cause loneliness and frustration. My experiences in the Czech Republic and abroad have given me unique insights and shaped my empathetic approach.

My areas of study are clinical mental health counseling and Adlerian psychology. I like to work holistically, looking at all aspects of a client’s life and how they fit together.
I am known for offering direct and honest feedback with sensitivity, warmth, and humor, and I never judge. the key to creting real change is collaboration between therapist and client. Together we will seek solutions
