Psychological consultation

anita-sarkany-psychologist-leadarship-psychological-consultation-1

We all face difficulties, find ourselves in decision-making situations, and solve these in various ways, depending on our personality, temperament, opportunities, and internal resources. I am committed to continuous learning, regularly attending thematic professional trainings and lectures. In my work, I focus on understanding what happens on deeper levels, what holds us back, and after understanding, being able to achieve long-term, lifelong positive changes.

I love humor and a relaxed atmosphere; both in my personal life and in my work, I strive for harmony and attentiveness. I enjoy living in the moment, quality time, so it’s important to me that those who work with me feel similar.

When I look for a professional, I need two things. They must be competent and treat me with humanity. This is what I also strive for.

My methods
My methods encompass a wide range of cognitive and behavioral therapy tools, schema therapy, transactional analysis, as well as imagination and visual techniques, with my goal being a practical, action-oriented approach.
