Psychology and art therapy became my profession as a result of a complete career change, after having gained a lot of expertise in various other fields. During my walk of life I had worked at various multinational companies, as well as for other larger or smaller businesses. At a certain point I even became a freelancer, and still work independently.
I have been living both in Hungary, my home country, as well as abroad, during which periods I – like many others – couldn’t avoid crisis either.
However, all the experiences I had, and having faced all the challenges on the way, made me understand myself and the world around me better, and still help me turn towards others with a deep empathy as a mental health professional.
I have been training myself professionally in the field of psychology and art therapy continuously since 2008, that laid a strong professional basis for helping others with their difficulties or prvoviding them with creative tools for recreation.
I earned my psychology BA degree at Károli Gáspár University, Budapest, and my psychology MA degree at the University of Debrecen, Debrecen with the specialisation in interpersonal and intercultural psychology. I carried out my university research about the psychological aspects of living in a foreign country, and wrote my thesis of the same topic, too.
Currently I attend further psychology trainings to enrich my professional knowledge e.g. on shema therapy, on eco-psychological counseling and on complex integrative therapy.
