MY BACKGROUND

It can sometimes help to know a little about your therapist, so you can get a sense of whether we might be a good fit.

My name is Klara. I was born in the Czech Republic.I spent some time living in the USA before settling in the UK, where I’ve now been for over 20 years and completed my training.

I speak both English and Czech, and outside of my work I enjoy being in nature, going for walks, reading, paddleboarding, travelling, and spending time with my family and friends.

I’m warm, friendly, and down to earth in my approach. Life has taught me that unless we have truly walked in someone else’s shoes, it’s not our place to judge their choices or the ways they have learned to cope. There have been many times in my own life when I’ve said “I would never,” and then found myself doing exactly that. Those experiences have helped me understand how complex life can be, and how much we can learn from our mistakes and the choices we make.

As a mother, I understand some of the challenges that come with family life. I also know what it’s like to live away from your country of origin and to start again somewhere new, which can bring both opportunities and difficulties.
