Let me

introduce myself

Mgr. Lenka Uherová, PCC — psychologist, therapist

I have been very interested in people since I was little, and the more I learn about them, the more they fascinate me. What they feel, why they feel it, how they behave and why they behave that way, what they need for themselves and how they achieve it, why they don’t achieve it… I help my clients to find the same curiosity, desire and courage to learn as much as possible about themselves. I like to guide them on this journey because I believe that a person can get everything they need for themselves, and my task

is to do as much as possible so that they can work towards themselves and have these resources and abilities available to them. And not only so that they understand and become an expert on themselves, read their “operating manual” correctly. But at the same time, so that they can create satisfied and fulfilling relationships with the people in their lives, with their surroundings, with their work, with their interests and above all, to cultivate the most important relationship we have in life – with ourselves.
