Adriana Tomešová
I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) with a specialization in addressing issues related to anxiety, diminished life satisfaction, stress management, and infertility. My primary goal is to foster a secure and respectful environment where we collaboratively seek solutions to navigate complex life circumstances. I offer consultations in both English and German.
I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT)
I obtained my psychology degree from Charles University in Prague, with a portion of my studies completed at Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster in Germany. While pursuing my master's degree, I provided assistance to fellow students at the Hybernská Counseling Center, focusing on areas such as procrastination, work-life balance, and managing challenging financial circumstances. Following this, I embarked on psychotherapy training through the International Institute of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ODYSSEA.
I am interested in psychosomatics and infertility treatment
Through my internship at the psychosomatic department of the MEDIAN Parkklinik Bad Rothenfelde, I gained valuable experience in the field of psychosomatics. Currently, I serve as a psychologist at the Gynem IVF clinic, where I provide support to clients undergoing infertility treatment. I assist those who grapple with distressing thoughts and fears prior to their treatment attempts, as well as individuals who have transitioned from fertility treatment and are seeking fresh perspectives and renewed life satisfaction.
I combine therapy, coaching and relaxation
I have successfully completed a coaching course incorporating elements of gestalt psychology, as well as a mindfulness training program. In my professional approach, I often integrate CBT methods with coaching strategies and relaxation techniques, including body-focused methods. I offer clients the option to learn and practice relaxation and cognitive techniques at home. Assigning homework exercises enhances the overall effectiveness of our therapeutic partnership and ensures that the progress extends beyond our in-session work.
Principles of my therapeutic work
Collaborative Therapy Approach
My objective is for you to be actively engaged in our sessions and play an integral role in shaping the therapeutic process. Active participation ensures that therapy aligns with your objectives and unfolds naturally. It promotes a more relaxed environment where you can contribute your own thoughts and ideas at your preferred pace.
Authentic acceptance
Taking the courageous step to seek therapy, I provide a secure and respectful environment where you can freely express your emotions and thoughts. I view the therapeutic relationship as a dependable anchor to support you when you require it.
Integrating CBT and Gestalt Approaches
I am a practitioner who combines the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with insights from Gestalt coaching, leveraging techniques from both disciplines to tailor the treatment to each client's individual needs. During our sessions, we explore inner experiences, conduct experiments, and use metaphors to collaboratively work towards enhancing your contentment with thoughts and emotions, fostering internal satisfaction in your life.
Connecting body and mind
In collaboration with clients, we address cognitive insights and understanding of thought processes. Recognizing the interconnection of mental and physical well-being, I consider it vital to incorporate mindfulness, self-compassion, and relaxation techniques (such as breath work, autogenic training, and progressive muscle relaxation) when clients are open to it. A brief relaxation exercise can often serve as an excellent prelude to our sessions.

Client references
"I remember the feeling when I went to our first meeting - I wasn't even sure if my problems were big enough to deserve professional help. The most strange thing for me was the idea of talking about them with a stranger. All of these concerns went away within the first 10 minutes of our meeting. Adriana suited me incredibly well as a person. Her demeanor was 100% professional yet so honest and human. I liked the way she was able to ask questions. She helped me realize a lot of things and showed me different meditation techniques that I started using regularly and I feel much better thanks to them."
"Our session gave me the opportunity to look more into myself, to realize various connections and at the same time to understand what is happening and at least partly why. If I had to take away one thing, it was advice and tips on managing anxiety, unpleasant conditions and reassurance that even these conditions are not permanent and can be worked with. Thanks to working without any preassure and coercion, and subsequently gradually building trust on my part, I suddenly had no problem talking about things that I often prefer to keep just to myself."
"I appreciate your individual approach, you helped me discover my unique values and beliefs. I felt safe and accepted at our sessions. I realized that I already know myself to some extent, I know what makes me a problem and what troubles me, but I don't always know how to proceed and deal with this information in a way that makes me feel better."
In therapy, no issue is considered "too small." It often requires great courage to schedule that initial therapy appointment, but in retrospect, the decision is typically immensely rewarding.
Location: Consultations can be conducted in person at Národní 11, Prague 1 (4th floor) or online through Google Meet or another preferred tool.
Session Duration: Individual sessions typically last for 50 minutes, unless an alternative arrangement is made with the therapist.
Cancellation Policy: Once an appointment is confirmed, it is considered binding. Should you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify your therapist via text message or email at least 48 hours before the appointment. If changes are made after this timeframe, a 50% cancellation fee will be applied.
Duration of Engagement: We offer both one-time consultations and extended, ongoing cooperation. While single sessions may serve as counseling, our work with most clients unfolds over a longer timeframe to foster a deeper understanding of the issues. The frequency of sessions is determined through mutual agreement, with a common schedule involving meetings once every two weeks over several months.
The cost for an individual consultation with Adriana Tomešá is 1800 Kč for a 50-minute session.
