My education
I studied Experimental Psychology at University of Oxford, graduating in 2018 with several prizes.
I continued with a PhD in Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry, defending my thesis in 2022. During my PhD, I taught principles of CBT to research participants experiencing depression.
I am currently in the 4th year of a 5-year Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training in my home country, the Czech Republic. I am also undergoing a specialised training in Schema Therapy from Germany.
At the moment, I have done about 1000 hours of mental health screening and treatment sessions.
My work experience
I deeply care about mental health and I have worked in several sectors that aim to make a difference.
During my undergraduate, I co-founded a successful Czech charity that provides mental health education. As a researcher, I’ve been involved in several studies and publications on psychological treatment.
I have also taught Psychology at university level, both in Oxford and in the Czech Republic.
Lastly, I have written content for Mind Ease, a mental health app founded on principles of Effective Altruism.
As a therapist in training, I have been accepted as a candidate member of the Czech Association for Psychotherapy.
