About me

I am a certified psychologist with a degree in developmental and clinical child psychology from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE). I completed my professional internship at Bethesda Children’s Hospital, working in child psychiatry and cognitive behavioral therapy units. Since 2024, I have been a PhD student in the Psychiatry Program at Semmelweis University, where my research focuses on suicidal behavior in adolescents and young adults. In parallel, I am currently enrolled in the sports psychology specialist training program at Károli Gáspár University.Alongside my counselling and academic work, I regularly participate in professional conferences as both a speaker and attendee to ensure that my work reflects the latest scientific knowledge.Sport plays a central role in my life and professional identity. I played handball for ten years and won a silver medal at the European Youth Beach Handball Championship. I have completed numerous half-marathons, marathons, and triathlons (sprint, Olympic, and middle-distance). Over the years, I have also engaged in karate, tennis, sport shooting, go-kart racing, football, bouldering, and skiing. I am deeply passionate about movement and continuously exploring new sports.

Psychological Counselling

Everyone encounters obstacles in life that can sometimes feel difficult to overcome. I believe that these moments of being “stuck” are an essential part of personal growth, yet starting the process of change and staying on that path can often feel overwhelming when facing it alone.If you feel like…- you would like to deepen your self-awareness,
- you want to cope more effectively with stress and anxiety,
- regulating your emotions feels challenging,
- you would like to strengthen your self-esteem and self-confidence,
- your motivation fluctuates and you tend to procrastinate,
- maintaining focus and perseverance is difficult,
- you would like to boost your learning and time management skills,
- you have questions about academic or career choices,
- you experience difficulties with adjustment at school or in the workplace,
- relationship or family conflicts are weighing on you,
- you are in a crisis or going through a particularly demanding period,
- you live in an intercultural environment and find adaptation challenging,
…then feel free to reach out to me.

An athlete is, above all, a human being. This may come as a surprise when we witness extraordinary performances, but even world-class athletes are people, facing human challenges. One of the secrets to their success is that they have already recognized that mental preparation is essential for optimal performance.If you feel like…- you are not always able to perform at your best,
- stress, anxiety, or lack of confidence is holding you back,
- you don’t feel fully comfortable in your team or sport,
- maintaining focus is difficult,
- you want to return to sport after an injury,
…then feel free to reach out to me.

Sport psychological counselling

Trainings

Whether in sports teams, schools, universities, or corporate environments, the best performance is achieved only when group members work together in harmony. This is often hindered by conflicts, communication issues, or other challenges, which, in most cases, can be resolved. When working with groups or teams, I first assess the specific difficulties they face and then develop a tailored training program that addresses their needs and challenges from every angle.
