4worldlovers: When you decided to relocate you looked for the adventure, you wanted to try something new.

But now? You miss friends in your home country, your family.

...stuck in a job you no longer like but somehow can't leave it?

We all have moments in life when we need someone to talk to.

I work with adult English speakers from all around the world who live and work in Prague. Some of my clients suffer in their jobs and want better future for themselves.

Some clients are facing difficulties in relationships - they are too intraverted to make new friends, or tired from too many social relations without being able to settle down. Others have not yet separated from their parents' influence.

Multilingual couples who visit me are suffering from lack of communication skills, lack of intimacy & closeness and infidelity & trust issues. They still care about each other but have difficulties making their relationship work.

Together, we are trying to make sense of life's obstacles, understand how the past influences the present. In the initial stages we focus on the family of origin and its culture and relationships and how they relate to client's life.

Growing up in a divorced family, I gave up my child dream of becoming medical doctor and focused on my financial sustainability.

After spending two semesters in USA and Greece, I dreamt of having a corporate job which would make me independent of any man in my life.

And I made it! I became the youngest appointed manager in my company... and quickly became stuck in the golden cage of the corporate world.

I had a generously paying job, long-term relationship, paid mortgage and brand new german car. What else could you possibly want from life, right?

Couple months before I actually turned thirty, I started to study masters program in clinical counseling and psychology at University of La Salle (2011) because I was bored from all the corporate crap around me.

I dug deep into exploring my current life, questioning my intentions and changing my behaviors. I learned that there is more to life than performance and money.

Over the next four years, I completely changed my life: broke up with my spouse, left my job, started a new career, met my future husband and gave birth to a baby girl.

4worldlovers: The project Psychologista is a psychological project focused on the development of mental health, either in the form of individual therapies or through other campaigns. It was founded by psychologist Jiří Valášek, MA, MBA. The project involves individual therapies, blogs, podcasts, but also workshops and discussions with various personalities.

We are not ashamed to have a cold, but we are afraid to admit anxiety. Mental discomfort is perceived by most of society as a weakness. It is our goal to change this thinking.

Balanced Lifestyles is a friendly and confidential private practice founded in 2008 by Svetlana Coalson, MA, MSc (Psychotherapy). I provide adult and adolescent expatriate clients with English language individual and couples counselling in Prague. I can offer help with:

Anxiety, depression, acute stress, trauma and other sources of psychological suffering.

Relationship problems: loss of an important relationship; consistent pattern of unsuccessful relationships; commitment-related issues; jealousy and trust issues.

Marital crises: understanding and communication issues; being caught in a cycle of hostility, anger, fighting, verbal, emotional or physical abuse - or an equally traumatic and destructive pattern of conflict avoidance and emotional withdrawal; affairs and infidelity; psychological origin of sexual difficulties; impact of online behaviors.

Parenting challenges and parenting style disagreements, cultural differences in intercultural relationships.

Unresolved family of origin issues: problems with parents, siblings, other important figures in your life.

Major life-crisis concerns: "midlife crisis", employment-related crises, feeling uprooted, alienated and helpless in a strange culture.

Identity issues; guilt- and shame-related suffering; reduced self-confidence; inability to be assertive and stand up for oneself; fear of conflict; inability to make decisions; feeling trapped in a particular predicament.

Special emphasis on the so-called existential concerns: feeling empty; loss of sense of self; loss of hope and meaning, lacking direction in life, acute feelings of loneliness and isolation; death-related anxiety.

Assistance in mediation and interpersonal-conflict management in situations where communication is essential for resolving vitally important issues, yet - for whatever reasons - the parties are unable to communicate successfully.
