The strange paradox is that only when I know myself and truly accept who I am, only then can I change and grow.

DO YOU WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU CAN INFLUENCE AND IMPROVE IN YOUR LIFE JUST BY FINDING OUT WHO YOU TRULY ARE?
My core approach in working with the client is based on “person-centered psychotherapy” according to the philosophy of C. Rogers, when together with the therapist in a safe and empathetic atmosphere, the client dives deeper into his experience in order to get to know and understand himself, his needs, boundaries and relationships. Through these newly acquired insights and self-acceptance, the client takes control of his own life, actively participates in the quality of relationships around him, makes conscious decisions in life that are based on his psychological needs, and knows the tools when and how to take care of himself. Lenka believes that every client has all the answers and instructions for his life inside of him, the therapist helps him understand them better and gives him the courage to live according to them.

Empathic understanding
Empathic understanding, when the counselor is maximally immersed in the client’s world and tries to look at the world through his eyes, thereby creating an alliance with him and thereby helping the client to better understand himself.
Congruence
Congruence, when the counselor is authentic and real, does not hide behind the facade of a shaman or an infallible expert. It helps the client to create real trust in the therapist as a real person, with flaws. This helps to create a person to person dynamics, that invites the client to be authentic and real with together with the therapist.
Acceptance
Accepting the client as he is. That is, the counselor does not judge, or evaluate, but accepts and respects the client in his true SELF, so that the client dares to really look at himself as he is, with his pains, fears, shortcomings, desires and successfully integrate them into his self.
