I started my ten-year psychotherapy training at PCA Institute Prague in 2012 and completed the first, community part in 2017, since when I started working with clients under the supervision of Dr. Vendula Junkova. I completed the comprehensive program in PCA Rogers Psychotherapy and Counseling, totaling 1070 hours, in 2022. Since 2020 I have been working as a psychotherapeutic support for the Secondary School and Business Academy in Sedlčany, Czech Republic. In 2021 I completed the training in chat crisis intervention. In addition to psychotherapy, I also deal with the protection of so-called soft targets from extreme forms of violence. Between 2004 and 2009 I worked as head of security for the Jewish Community in Prague, later as security manager of the security team of Radio Free Europe and later as deputy security director with responsibility for the security of the Czech headquarters and foreign bureaus in 23 countries. To this day, he is still working on various security analyses.
