Who are our conselors?

Mgr. Petr Matoušek  

I completed my five-year psychology studies at the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University in 2017. However, I decided to remain in the academic environment. Initially at Masaryk University, and now at Brno University of Technology, I work daily with people seeking ways to reduce the discomfort they experience in their academic, professional, or personal lives. I have a long-standing interest in topics such as academic failure and the quality of education. I also enjoy attending lectures outside my field and reading good science fiction or fantasy. I often reflect on how to balance freedom, growth, and adventure with rational practicality and long-term sustainability.

My approach to work is primarily based on the principles of the Person-Centered Approach (PCA), which places the client and their experience at the heart of the process. In 2022, I completed a long-term training program in psychotherapy and counseling within this framework.

Mgr. Michaela Havlát Odehnalová 

I studied psychology as a master's program at the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University. During my studies, I began working at the Masaryk University Career Center, and after graduating, I became a career counselor and later a coach. I was also very drawn to the field of education, so I started collaborating with a private educational company, where I primarily led development workshops or organized teambuilding events. In 2021, my colleagues and I came up with the idea of establishing a coaching training program led by psychologists, and since then, we've released about 40 new coaches into the world each year, all with a respect for the uniqueness of each client and humility toward the craft.

Despite my broader focus, psychology remains my greatest passion. I am currently in training for cognitive-behavioral therapy, focusing on working with adults. When I'm not working, you'll likely find me in the garden with a book in one hand and coffee in the other, recharging my batteries. If it's raining, I'm probably assembling a puzzle with an audiobook in my ears or playing RPGs.
