Mgr. Katarína Godarská

I am a psychologist working with children, adolescents, adults and entire families.

I am currently undergoing long-term psychotherapeutic training at the PCA Institute Ister, and I have completed certified education in non-directive play therapy, working with couples, parents, and families among many other specialized methods.

I have worked at the Center for Children and Families, where I provided psychological care for children, adolescents, and entire families at risk. I also worked at the Center for Special Education Counseling, focusing primarily on diagnosing children with developmental disorders, and I have experience as a school psychologist.

In my profession, I am particularly inspired by the person-centered approach. I approach my clients with respect for their opinions, values, attitudes, and experiences because the way a client views and experiences the world is unique, and they are the expert on their own life. I see the importance of the therapeutic relationship itself, where the client has the opportunity to experience deep understanding and unconditional acceptance, gradually moving towards fulfilling their potential and making changes that are important to them. When working with children, I primarily use play therapy, which helps them better understand themselves, strengthen their internal resources, resilience, and self-regulation. In working with children, I often involve the whole family, supporting parenting skills, addressing educational issues, and the overall relational dynamics within the family.

As a psychologist and doula, I also focus on psychological topics related to reproductive health, working with women who experience difficulties during pregnancy, childbirth, and in adapting to their new life role postpartum.
