My main counseling tool based on the elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is based on the philosophical statement: “People are not disturbed by things, but the view they take of them.” - Epictetus The way we think determines how we feel and behave. CBT helps to identify current dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviours and to change them. Cognitive therapy is:
Problem oriented and goal focused
Educational, to help the individual help her/himself
transparent
Practical – dealing with the here and now
A T. Beck Cognitive Therapy, which I also practice as a counseling, based on the fact that the client and the therapist are equal partners, as the client is an expert of her/himself. This is why the client's active participation is absolutely required. The client brings not only the problem, but also the solution itself, which can only be discovered when the client is open to take a look inside.
My sessions are 50 minutes
About myself
I was born in Budapest into an artistic family. I have trained as an actress at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna and at the Central School of Speech and Drama, London. I had been on stage and in front of the camera since I was 16 years old. As an actress, I had always been fascinated with the human soul and that interest and the events of my life led me to this profession as a counselor. After my medical practitioner training at the Paracelsus School Munich I passed the official medical examination and have received my medical practitioner permission for psychotherapy. I recieved my MA Diploma In Psychology in the Szegedi Tudományegyetem. Further education I did in Philadelphia, Beck Institut, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and in Munich Verein zur Förderung der Familientherapie und Beratung. My artistic past influences my therapeutic activity. I believe successful counseling is based on a good match between the client and helper. My therapeutic approach is empathetic, person-centered, non-judgmental, and completely confidential. The counseling itself is individually tailored, because we all have different experiences, personality structures and belief systems.
