The methods, in plain words
Autogenic training and guided imagery
I love working with symbols and with the body's signals. This calls for a kind of altered state of awareness, or a high degree of attention to proprioceptive input (proprioception is the sense that tells your body where it is in space). One of the cornerstones of autogenic training is entering that altered state, but the client stays in control of the process throughout, learns it, and can practice it alone at home whenever they feel they need it. That's a huge resource: you don't have to rely on me, you can be there for yourself. During the imagery work (KIP — Leuner's Guided Affective Imagery), we call up images that are shaped by the unconscious imagination. The client gets support in structuring the process, but creates it entirely themselves, drawing on their own endless well of creativity. Interpretation also varies from person to person, the only thing the practitioner decides is which image to work with. I personally believe strongly that the client knows far better than I do what they need.
Family counseling — a systemic perspective
In this modality, the emphasis isn't on the whys, but on how things unfold within the family system. It's important to understand the past and present of relationships, family dynamics, and inherited patterns, and to understand what role each person plays in the system, and whether that role serves them and the people around them. Questions are put to every member, everyone's perspective matters, and this is where an atmosphere can form in which experiences that get lost in the heat of arguments can finally be voiced. Everyone has reasons and pain that make their behavior understandable, but that doesn't always get heard. This systemic perspective tries to understand every role and to adjust the dynamic, so no one has to keep carrying roles in the relationship that don't actually serve them. This approach often includes homework, since it sometimes helps to prepare for a few bigger sticking points in advance, so that the people in the system hear more from each other than just hurt feelings.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
This method blends work with family systems, somatic work, and imagery techniques. At its core, it's work with a "family" you can sense within yourself. It sets aside the idea that our personality is a single, uniform whole, and instead holds that we contain parts that can be addressed directly, and that understanding these parts, feeling compassion for them, and acknowledging what they carry is the key to building inner calm. This modality doesn't pathologize, and the work moves at the pace the client's own system needs. Once our protective parts are addressed, often parts that don't look protective at all, like the part that triggers anxiety, and they're able to say what they're protecting us from, the tension in our system eases, since none of our parts actually intend harm, they're simply often misunderstood. IFS holds that we already have the potential to help ourselves, but we often don't trust that strength. In those moments, a part that doubts our competence blends in with us, and activates to save us from a perceived danger. Working with parts is genuinely interesting, learnable, and can be practiced almost anywhere, to real benefit.
First session and deciding together
- 01
First session
The first session is a getting-to-know-you, where I get to know you and the topic you're bringing with you. It's not always just one session, but it's about both of us assessing whether we can work well together going forward. Like any relationship, this one runs on "chemistry" too, so it matters that we can trust each other and trust the work itself. You don't need to prepare anything special for the first session, what matters is that you can speak to yourself authentically about where you are and what kind of support you're looking for.
- 02
Deciding together
At the end of the session, we discuss together whether what you're bringing falls within my professional competence, and whether I'm the right fit for you. My goal is for the client to get the support they actually need, whatever best supports their individual path, if that's not something the two of us can do together, I'll refer you to a colleague.
Good to know
- The practice is in a part of Budapest that's easy to reach by public transport, near Móricz Zsigmond körtér.
- Cancellations are free of charge up to 48 hours before the session; within 24 hours, the full fee applies.
- I work under confidentiality, and if it ever comes up that I'd bring our process into supervision, I would only do so in fully anonymized form, disguising the client and their surroundings and never sharing personal details, to seek professional guidance.
- I'm not a psychiatrist, I can't prescribe medication or provide a diagnosis; if needed, I work together with the client's treating physician.
