Therapy with a psychologist

PSYCHOLOGY

Therapy with a psychologist

A safe space to understand yourself, your experiences, and inner tensions

Some difficulties are not experienced only in the mind — they can also be felt in the body as tension, exhaustion, pressure, restlessness, recurring physical symptoms, or even chronic health concerns.

Therapy with a psychologist creates a space where you can better understand your inner experience and begin to explore the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and body. Physical and emotional wellbeing are deeply connected and influence each other.

HOW WE WORK

The ToBe approach

At ToBe, we see mental health as a natural part of a person’s overall health.

We don’t look for quick fixes or labels.
We’re interested in the person, their story, and what their body and mind currently need.

Therapy takes place gently, without pressure, and with respect for the client’s individual capacity.

At ToBe, we respect the principles of psychosomatics, which is why you’ll find therapy with a psychologist in our services as a natural part of the therapeutic journey towards improving your quality of life.

In therapy with a psychologist, we work with the following methods:

  • Therapeutic conversation
  • Systemic constellations
  • TIR (Trauma Incident Reduction) – a facilitation technique focused on reducing the impact of a traumatic event
  • TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercise) – a method for releasing physical and emotional tension

How therapy works

Each session is individual and at a pace that feels manageable for you.

An important part is:

  • conversation
  • a safe and respectful space
  • work with awareness and inner experience
  • exploring connections between the mind, body, and your life situation
  • identifying beliefs and behaviour patterns that developed earlier in a person’s life.

You don’t need to have a “big problem” to come.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many therapy sessions will I need?

The number and frequency of sessions depend on your individual needs, symptoms, and goals. Following your initial consultation, we will work together to create a personalised therapy plan and review it regularly as your treatment progresses. For acute conditions, a small number of sessions may be enough. For chronic or more complex concerns, we take a longer-term approach, focusing on sustainable progress and lasting results.

Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. If you have any medical reports, imaging, or test results related to your concerns, feel free to bring them with you. You don’t need to prepare anything else. During your first visit, we’ll go through your medical history together and plan the next steps.

We’re a private facility, so our therapies are currently not covered by health insurance. Payment is made directly on site according to the price list.

WE WORK WITH

Let’s take the first step together.

In a safe environment, without pressure or obligation. With respect for your current situation.

The body does not need to be fixed. It needs to be understood.

I am a woman, wife, mother and physiotherapist. Over the years of practice, I have realised that health does not come only from eliminating symptoms or solving a specific problem. Real change comes when a person begins to better understand themselves, their body, and the way they live their life.

It was this idea that led me to create the space you know today as ToBe – a place where different areas of expertise, perspectives, and approaches to health are interconnected. A place that does not see a person only through a diagnosis or individual symptoms, but as a unique whole.

My professional journey began in physiotherapy and the musculoskeletal system. Over time, clients and their stories gradually led me deeper – from working with the body through the pelvic floor to understanding the meaning of emotions, the psyche, and the functioning of the nervous system. Today, I see the body as the bearer of a person’s story, and therapy as a space where we can get to know that story, understand it, and support its natural process of change.

How I work

Years of practice have taught me to slow down. To listen more. To place less emphasis on performance, results, or quick change.

In therapy, I strive to create a safe space where clients can become more aware of their bodies, their needs, and the connections between what they are experiencing and what is happening on a physical level. I don’t focus only on symptoms; I also look for their possible causes and the context in which they arise.

Over the years, I have become increasingly aware of how closely the body, mind, and nervous system are connected. This is why I naturally integrate a psychosomatic perspective and the principles of nervous system regulation into my work – gently, clearly, and always with respect for where each client is in their own process.

I believe the body has a remarkable capacity for healing and renewal. Sometimes it doesn’t need more pressure — it needs understanding, a sense of safety, and the right conditions to begin functioning in a different way.

What I can help you with

In my practice, I specialise mainly in:

  • urogynecological physiotherapy
  • pelvic floor dysfunction
  • incontinence
  • painful conditions after childbirth
  • preparation for childbirth and postpartum recovery
  • painful menstruation
  • pain during sexual intercourse
  • functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system
  • chronic pain without an organic cause
  • unintegrated scars
  • psychosomatic connections of health problems
  • regulation of the nervous system

Methods and approaches I use

In my work, I connect physiotherapy with knowledge from psychosomatics, work with the nervous system, and a holistic therapeutic approach. I mainly use:

  • urogynecological physiotherapy
  • pelvic floor therapy
  • diagnosis and therapy of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system
  • visceral manipulation
  • osteopathic principles
  • craniosacral therapy
  • psychosomatic approach in physiotherapy
  • principles of nervous system regulation
  • knowledge from Somatic Experiencing® training

In therapy, I combine professional knowledge with a sensitive perception of the person and their story. My goal is not only to relieve the problem, but to support the client in better understanding themselves and their body.

ToBe – the concept

ToBe grew naturally out of the original IntimFyzio centre. Over time, I increasingly felt the need to bring different areas of expertise together and create a place where a person does not have to be divided into separate parts.

Today, ToBe is a multidisciplinary space where physiotherapy, psychology, psychotherapy, women’s health, traditional Chinese medicine, work with the nervous system, and other approaches come together – united by a common idea: to see a person in their entirety and create the conditions for health, growth, and a deeper connection with oneself.

Education and professional development

I studied physiotherapy at the Faculty of Medicine of Comenius University in Bratislava, and completed my master’s degree at the University of Brighton in the United Kingdom.

I have completed a specialisation in functional and structural disorders of the musculoskeletal system at the Slovak Medical University in Bratislava. I hold a licence for independent medical practice and am a member of the Slovak Chamber of Physiotherapists.

I believe health is not a goal to be achieved. It is a relationship we build with ourselves, our bodies, and our lives – and it is a journey I love to accompany my clients on.
