Lucie Vybihalova: Qualified Counsellor
Lucie Vybihalova
Qualified Counsellor MBACP and Supervisor
I am an Integrative Counsellor and Supervisor, and I work with children from the age of four, and with adults.
I have experience working in private practice, schools, youth clubs and mental health organisations. I provide a therapeutic support to people who find themselves in crisis, suicidal clients, and people who want to find their inner child.
Establishing trust is the cornerstone of any therapeutic relationship and therapy work. I create a safe space, where clients feel understood and, therefore, able to confront their vulnerabilities. This is achieved through play, imagination and creativity.
I have developed a six-week program, where clients can explore their understanding of themselves, to enhance their self-esteem, confidence and courage.
I offer supervision sessions, integrating my work experience and training in psychosynthesis trust as an Integrative Supervisor.
How can counselling help?
Emotional difficulties and painful feelings are a fact of life. But sometimes they can become overwhelming, unmanageable and long-lasting – so much so, that we can reach a point where we don't know what to do.
We can become distressed and anxious, and begin to feel hopeless. We can find ourselves repeating destructive patterns of thinking and behaving without understanding why. Sometimes we just have a feeling of something being wrong, but we can't articulate it.
​
Talking to friends and family or changing our lifestyle can help. Sometimes we don't always have this option or our anxieties and feelings of distress do not improve, and the problem runs deeper. Then it is time to consider counselling.
I don't offer advice. What works for one person may not work for another. The therapeutic process offers us the unique opportunity to reflect and find ways of coping that work best for us.
My integrative Personality Model is symbolised by a maze with four approaches on how to explore the human personality:
-
Cognitive
-
Psychodynamic
-
Transpersonal
-
Somatic/Bodywork
Being creative requires courage and for us to not be judged by others. It builds confidence, resilience and self-belief. Play is an important part of the developmental process.
Through ongoing learning, children especially need to adapt their original ideas when new information seems to contradict their schema. In therapy, the concept of the challenge of personal development is characterised by the tower that the client symbolically climbs.
