Psychological counselling<\/strong> helps achieve positive changes and move towards important goals. Counselling provides an opportunity to address issues such as excessive worry or anxiety, insecurity, despair, dissatisfaction, lack of motivation, communication or relationship problems, unexpected life situations, and to better understand oneself and one’s desires and moods.<\/p>\n

Within the framework of psychological counseling, there is a private meeting between the psychologist and the client, where one can discuss tensions and conflicts in a relaxed atmosphere that cause dissatisfaction and strong negative emotions.<\/p>\n

If you doubt your abilities, our psychologist, as a neutral person, can assess your situation impartially and help analyze the questions and problems that have arisen. During counseling, the causes leading to complicated situations are addressed. The psychologist also provides tips on how to cope with difficult and suppressed feelings in the future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)<\/strong> is a purpose-driven, structured, and outcome-oriented collaborative process, aimed at helping the client solve their problems through various psychological techniques. The therapy supports the development of new skills that not only address current issues but also create patterns to solve similar types of problems in the future. While the therapist focuses on the client’s specific problem, they do not offer a single solution but help understand the underlying causes of the problem, providing the client with the tools and knowledge to help themselves.<\/p>\n

CBT is particularly suitable for treating depression and anxiety disorders, but it is also used for various addiction disorders, psychotraumas, self-esteem issues, grief, phobias, and other problems.<\/p>\n

A significant portion of the therapy is based on the here and now, with the primary goal of helping the client implement desired life changes. The duration of the therapy is limited, and objectives are precisely agreed upon according to the individual needs of the client.<\/p>\n

In addition to in-office sessions, the specialist might give you homework assignments, the resolution of which is key to the success of the therapy. These tasks help reinforce acquired knowledge and significantly contribute to the effectiveness of the therapy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A school psychologist<\/strong> supports children, youth, and parents with various issues related to both school and personal life. They help children and young people understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in different situations. The psychologist provides guidance on managing anxiety, conflicts, and stressful situations, explaining and helping clients understand emotions and how to better regulate them. They offer advice on improving time management and enhancing learning abilities.<\/p>\n

In their work with children and youth, school psychologists use creative and playful methods, such as drawing, picture cards, emotion cards, and tailored worksheets for children and adolescents.<\/p>\n

They also support parents by helping them understand and support their child or adolescent and address various parenting-related concerns.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAn occupational psychologist<\/strong> is a health and safety specialist with an education in psychology and specialized training in occupational health. Occupational psychologists help restore and improve workers’ abilities and assist in conducting an audit and analysis of the work environment, providing feedback to employers on how to make the work environment healthier. The occupational psychologist is an expert in assessing and balancing psychosocial workloads. If necessary, the occupational psychologist supports the employer by helping them understand the psychosocial burdens and tensions of the work environment.





In the short term, individuals can mobilize themselves better in stressful situations, achieving desired results faster, giving the impression that this is the most efficient working method. Unfortunately, the opposite is true – prolonged stress without adequate recovery creates fertile ground for professional burnout, anxiety disorders, and depression. Burnout, in turn, leads to a long-term decline in company efficiency and productivity.





One aspect of an occupational psychologist’s work also includes individual employee consultations, where clients are referred for consultation with a nurse or occupational physician. One should initially consult an occupational psychologist if there’s a risk of an employee’s work capacity decline or if health checks reveal symptoms of work-related stress, burnout, anxiety disorders, and\/or depression.





In addition to the above, an occupational psychologist can assist both employers and employees in resolving crisis situations or mitigating their consequences. Such situations include workplace accidents, where not only the injured individual but also their colleagues might need help. Employees might also need advice and assistance after violence, hazardous situations, or threats. The goal is to prevent workers from becoming disabled or falling ill due to mental health issues.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
