Hana Štráfeldová About me

What I offer

Individual Psychotherapy for Adults

In my psychotherapeutic practice, I rely on body psychotherapy techniques.

I also incorporate yoga into the therapeutic process upon request.

When working with trauma, I use, among other methods, elements of EMDR.

I have a private practice in Prague 6.

I work both in-person and online.

I offer sessions in English as well.

Sessions last 90 minutes, which I consider an appropriate duration for body-psychotherapeutic work.

We usually arrange sessions about once every two weeks.

I am a full member of the Czech Association for Psychotherapy and fully adhere to its ethical code.

I respect confidentiality.

I regularly attend supervision.

I cooperate with most health insurance companies within psychosocial support projects. Your insurance may reimburse part of your therapy costs. Please check the contribution options with your insurer.

IMPORTANT: My psychotherapy is not fully covered by insurance.

Body psychotherapy

Body psychotherapy integrates work with the body into the therapeutic process. It connects emotions with their physical expressions.

The body can tell us many truthful things about what we’re experiencing. And through the body, we can also express and process our emotions.

Sometimes it’s about being in silence—simply sensing and receiving safe, supportive touch. Other times, there may be an intense charge held in the body that needs to be released through physical expression.

This happens in the way our system needs at that particular moment—through movement, posture, breath, touch, facial expressions, sound, or words. In varying intensity, rhythm, and scope. In doing so, we complete an impulse that may have remained unfinished in the body—perhaps from a past stage of life, when there was no space, support, or permission to fully express it.

As a therapist, I offer various body-psychotherapeutic interventions that help us work with the body’s current signals. Everything takes place based on mutual agreement, and always in a way that respects your pace and needs.

Yoga in therapy

I’ve been practicing yoga for about 25 years, and for many years I also led both group and individual yoga classes. However, I have since stepped away from teaching in that way.

What feels more aligned for me now is integrating yoga into the psychotherapeutic process.

It’s always an invitation — and you decide whether it feels right for you in the moment. Whatever your answer is, it’s completely okay. Yoga can be a possible, but by no means necessary, complement to our therapeutic work together.

If we decide to include yoga, it’s helpful to set an intention together. I might offer yoga guidance in ways such as:

  • Calming and relaxation

  • Using movement and breath to connect with and release emotions held in the body

  • Drawing on principles of trauma-sensitive yoga, which can be beneficial even beyond trauma work — you remain in charge of your body and have full freedom to choose how (or whether) to move

Trauma Therapy

Trauma is a response to a highly stressful experience or long-term treatment that left us without the ability to defend ourselves, escape, or maintain control over the situation — leaving us feeling powerless. These experiences impacted us so deeply that we are unable to process them in a usual, adaptive way.

In trauma-focused psychotherapy, I use various techniques depending on the topic, the client’s current psychological state, and individual needs. For example:

  • Elements of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

  • Body-oriented (body psychotherapy) approach

  • A combination of verbal and somatic processing

  • Principles of Trauma-Sensitive Yoga

  • EmotionAid® protocol

  • And more

About me

 

I am a psychotherapist with a focus on body-oriented therapy.

I have maintained a continuous practice since 2013, when I completed my first training in body psychotherapy.

During my university studies, I also focused on the connection between the body, mind, and soul.

For many years, I have also been working with trauma, particularly through EMDR.

I am a registered member of the Czech Association for Psychotherapy.

I am a certified yoga instructor and integrate yogic elements into the psychotherapeutic process.

I also provide psychological counseling for participants of Aperio courses — an organization focused on healthy parenting.
