Psychology/Counselling/Coaching Consultations
About us
Hi. My name is Jan. I'm a Dutch (male) native, living in Prague, but trained and worked professionally as a clinical psychologist for adults in Scotland, UK. I worked there for a period of about 9 years. I also developed an interest in coaching.
If you speak English or Dutch (Nederlands) I can maybe help you with moving forward in your life. If you are going through life changes that are challenging for you, or are having issues coping with your life as it is right now, or are suffering from problems related to depression, anxiety, relationships, confidence or loss, maybe I can help you make progress.
If you are "ok" but feel you want to get more out of life or something is missing, perhapsI can help you with that too using a more coaching-type approach.
My background has been in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), but I would probably describe myself as eclectic, using concepts and ideas from CBT, solution-focused or coaching.
People say I am very friendly, easy to talk to, trustworthy, communicative, analytic, empathetic and understanding. I'd like to think these are qualities that might help you.
So if you need a professional, empathetic, friendly and confidential listening ear, I can be that for you. However, I will try and help you also make and experience positive change, be it in what or how you think, what you do, and how you feel.
It is important to know that I tend not to see people with the following issues:
- more severe,and/or longstanding psychiatric issues
- if you suffer from suicidal thoughts and/or self-harming behaviour
- if alcohol or substance use/abuse is an issue for you
- if eating disorders are an issue
- addictions in general
- I don't provide couple/marriage counselling
I would advise you to contact a psychiatrist or other health professional in that case.
Please contact me in advance for information on rates and to make an initial appointment. You can email me here: praguetherapy@gmail.com
Our meetings will be in English, or Dutch, and can be... show more face-to-face, but I'm also available for online Skype consultations. Using Skype means you don't necessarily have to live in Prague, and it will be a little cheaper too. Simply ask me.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Jonathan C. asked:Has anyone been able to find a good English speaking psychologist, or any insurance for foreigners that covers mental health. I don't make enough money for VZP or PVZP, so my employer can't assist me with those companies and their commercial insurance is more expensive than my current insurance, Slavia, which hasn't been useful whatsoever. Has anyone just gotten the cheapest insurance possible just for their visa and paid out of pocket for everything else? If so, what company did you use? I know those are a lot of questions at one, but any insight would be appreciated. Thanks
