Mgr. Miroslava Pešlová graduated with a degree in Unisdisciplinary Psychology from Palacký University Olomouc. She subsequently received certification in clinical psychology and psychotherapeutic training in Art Therapy. Miroslava has further supplemented her education with multiple therapy-related courses, including family therapy and timeline work, Conscious Body, hypnosis, non-verbal techniques and others.

Miroslava started out in private practice, working at a clinical psychologist’s clinic in Most, where she devoted herself to diagnostic and therapeutic activities for children and adults. Subsequently, she worked as a clinical psychologist in the Department of Pediatric Neurology, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and Motol University Hospital. She also worked at the Psychiatric Hospital in Horní Beřkovice in the men’s wing of the Addictions Department, where she provided group and individual therapy. With over 8 years in private practice, during which she has provided individual, couples and family therapy and which she is still engaged in today, Miroslava has a developed focus on psychosomatic manifestations and on clients with conditions involving anxiety and depression. She also works with clients who experience a wide range of emotionally difficult states, helping with healthy release emotions and processing one’s conflicts (anger management, etc.). Dealing with situations within interpersonal relationships and a variety of other contexts are themes of crucial importance, as are topics related to self-worth and experiencing one’s own reason for being and existence. Miroslava also has experience in helping clients navigate through very challenging life situations, such as serious illness or the loss of a loved one.

“In my work I try to approach my clients with humility and to support them in understanding themself and in understanding the context of their life with situations that are troubling for them. My therapeutic path, way of thinking and approach to a person is best described by the analogy: Just as my children teach me how to be a parent, as working the soil teaches me how to be a grower, so my clients teach me how to be their therapist.”
