Hannah Ondruška

| Psychologist | Therapist |

My motto is life itself.

Psychologist and therapist Hannah deals with a wide range of issues that are inevitably intertwined with life at every stage. She works with relationships in all their contexts, whether couples, parents, professionals or they are more complex such as formation of a new family after a divorce. In her approach she reflects the demands of the dynamic current pace of life, which causes an increase in stress and anxiety disorders, where she uses complex methods leading to a relaxed and harmonious experience. She is devoted to recognizing and revealing the individual qualities with the goal to lead a fulfilled and joyful life. She creates a holistic picture of a person and takes into account the connection between body and emotions. Recognizing psychosomatic context is an important part of her approach. She also uses a coaching approach and coaching tools, and her work is regularly supervised by Mgr. Gabriela Linhardtová. She consults in Slovak and English.

Hannah started her counseling with working with the socially disadvantaged. She completed her studies at the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Arts, University of Pavel Jozef Šafárik in Košice. She is a graduate of several long-term psychotherapy trainings focused on various ways of looking in to and working with a person, including training in relaxation and symbolic psychotherapy, training in integrative psychotherapy and other courses and workshops, such as AT and hypnosis course, transactional analysis course, systemic interview course, Multidisciplinary workshop divorce interventions, Integrational Bodywork Training and Breathwork Therapy Training. In addition to systematic self-development in the field of psychotherapy, she completed an accredited Lecturer course and Cevey Systems Business Leadership Coaching training focused on the performance of leaders.

"My individual style was described by someone as receptive and accepting, compassionate and full of life. I consider myself as a passionate idealist, who does not persuade others, but with openness and humility accepts different opinions. I believe that the heart is a more reliable compass than the mind. I wish for all to have the courage to abandon what limits us and does not bring joy to our lives. My experience is that through hurt and pain a new enlightenment may be found. Each of us can become a space where we flourish and thrive. Being a part of that is a blessing. I seek and find my fulfillment in relationships and activities that are connected with the perfection of nature, its sensitive discovery and protection. As a child, I wanted to change the world; now I understood that I can only change myself. And the world around me began to change on its own."
