Psychologist · NLP Master Coach · Lean Six Sigma & Project Management Professional · PhD

I spent the first decade of my career leading people, not coaching them.

Branch Manager. Operations Director. 250+ employees. Teams across Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Romania. I know what it costs to be responsible for results that have your name on them. I know what it feels like when the team looks to you and you have no one to look to.

That's why I work with leaders now. Not because I read about them in research – although I do that too – but because I was one.

I hold a PhD in Social and Organisational Psychology. My operational background includes Six Sigma, Project Management, Change Management, Process Improvement, Lean Management and Quality Systems. I understand organisations from the inside – not just from the therapist's chair.

Over 20 years, I've worked at the intersection of high performance and its human cost: burnout that looks like discipline, decisions made from fear disguised as strategy, isolation that reads as strength.

I translate complex psychology into decisions you can make on Monday morning.

My tools: psychology, neuroscience, NLP Master Coaching, biofeedback, body-based work. My clients: CEOs, founders, senior managers in IT, financial services, consulting and automotive across Central Europe.

I don't run workshops. I work 1:1 and in very small groups – because real work needs space, not an audience.

Almost Private is for people who have achieved a great deal and are paying for it in ways no one around them sees.
