PSYCHOTHERAPY IN ENGLISH IN BUDAPEST
As a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist in Budapest, I provide psychotherapy in English and Hungarian for adults seeking professional psychological support. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, recurring emotional patterns and challenging life transitions.
Psychotherapy provides a confidential professional setting in which current difficulties can be explored together with the underlying emotional and relational patterns that may contribute to them. The aim is not only to reduce symptoms, but also to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and create more lasting psychological change.
I offer private psychotherapy in my practice in Budapest, District XI. Online sessions may also be available when appropriate.
ISSUES ADDRESSED IN PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy may be helpful for a wide range of emotional, psychological and relationship difficulties, including:
- anxiety, persistent worry and emotional tension
- depression, low mood and loss of motivation
- trauma and difficult past experiences
- grief, loss and major life transitions
- relationship and family difficulties
- recurring emotional or relationship patterns
- difficulties with self-esteem and self-confidence
- work-related stress and performance anxiety
- difficulties connected with relocation and cultural adjustment
Sometimes people seek psychotherapy without one clearly defined symptom. They may feel that the same difficulties keep returning in relationships or different areas of life, or that they would like to understand themselves and their emotional reactions more deeply.
HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. The first sessions provide an opportunity to understand your current difficulties, relevant life experiences and what you would like to change.
Together, we consider whether psychotherapy is an appropriate form of help and what therapeutic framework may best suit your situation.
The therapeutic process may involve exploring current emotions and relationships as well as recurring patterns that have developed through earlier experiences. Becoming more aware of these patterns can make it possible to respond differently and develop more flexible ways of relating to yourself and others.
The length and depth of psychotherapy depend on the nature of the difficulties and the goals of the therapeutic work.
MY PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC APPROACH
My work is integrative and informed by more than thirty years of clinical experience.
My professional training and therapeutic background include Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy, psychodynamic approaches, group analysis, couples and family therapy, Systems Centered Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Rather than applying one technique in the same way to everyone, I aim to understand each person in the context of their individual history, relationships, current life situation and psychological difficulties.
Depending on the problem, therapy may focus on a current crisis or life transition, or involve deeper work with longstanding emotional and relationship patterns.
PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ENGLISH-SPEAKING AND INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS
I provide psychotherapy in English in Budapest for expats, international clients and other English-speaking adults living in Hungary.
Living in another country can bring experiences that extend beyond the original reason for seeking therapy. Relocation, cultural adjustment, identity and belonging, separation from familiar relationships and the question of whether to remain abroad or return home may all become important themes.
Having lived in the United States and Italy myself, I have a particular professional interest in the psychological processes connected with living between countries and cultures.
For more about psychological support related to relocation, cultural adjustment, living between cultures and returning home, you can read my page for expats and international clients.
IN-PERSON AND ONLINE PSYCHOTHERAPY
In-person psychotherapy is available at my private practice in Budapest, District XI.
Online psychological consultations and, when professionally appropriate, online therapeutic work may also be possible. The most suitable format can be discussed during the initial consultation.
Sessions are available in English and Hungarian.
PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELLING OR PSYCHOTHERAPY?
Not every difficulty requires psychotherapy.
For a clearly defined current problem, decision, life transition or temporary crisis, psychological counselling may sometimes be sufficient.
Psychotherapy may be more appropriate when difficulties have persisted for a longer period, repeatedly return, affect several areas of life, or appear to be connected with deeper emotional and relationship patterns.
During the first sessions, we can consider together which form of psychological support may be most appropriate for your situation.
