„Someone has to start. Other people might not be cooperative, but that is not connected to you. My advice is this: you should start. With no regard to whether others are cooperative or not.” 
Alfred Adler

The success of change depends on many factors, but starting the process is the first step. You are already here and looking for a helper for your own process. Like Adler, my advice is: you should start!

My curiosity about the developmental potential of children’s minds brought me to the field of psychology.

Yet, I ended up working with adults in a special field: I became a psychologist at the Hungarian Prison Services, providing counselling, stress and crisis management for inmates. In this environment, I learned the key helping skills in crisis support and rehabilitation.

Having studied in 3 different countries, I gained international experience in the education of Psychology in Hungary, South Korea and the US. I also have multicultural teaching experience gathered from South Korea and Italy.

Crisis counselling, the psychology of intercultural relations and communities, as well as career counselling are my areas of expertise. Those who seek my counselling will receive support to overcome the difficulties and crises built up inside them, which will lead to courage, self-respect and self-exploration.

I am committed to helping adolescents and adults with life’s challenges. One of the main goals of my work is to empower individuals to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential. Whether it is personal, relationship or career related difficulties, I am here to provide support and ensure emotional fulfillment.

I work in both English and Hungarian.
