Dr. Anna Fekete

As I have extensive training and professional experience not only in clinical psychology, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, CBT, EMDR, systemic constellations, couples therapy, and coaching, but also in music, dance, and the creative arts, as well as in various body-mind techniques (yoga, shiatsu, TCM, martial arts, meditation and trance techniques, etc.), in my therapeutic work I use a rather rich and varied repertoire of therapeutic and coaching techniques.

Although psychotherapy can be - and is - a clinical treatment method for the most severe mental and emotional disturbances, too, most clients seeking psychotherapy are not 'clinical' cases. They are just normal, everyday human beings trying to feel better, love more, understand themselves more clearly, think more realistically, function more adequately, have happier relationships, matter more to the world, and find more fulfillment in life.

We all have times in our lives when we need some help to understand and solve our problems on a deeper, more profound level, or to get some outside support to achieve our goals. The empathic presence and expert knowledge of a trained coach and psychotherapist can provide us with a protected and confidential space in which we can explore our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behavior patterns.

Contrary to common belief, the person under hypnosis is not unconscious, does not become vulnerable, and cannot be lured into anything that contradicts his/her moral values. During the therapeutic interactions in hypnosis, patients are always aware of themselves, of everything they feel, see and say while they respond to the therapist's facilitating questions.

Yet every relationship has challenges, and moments of sadness, anger, frustration, possibly even hopelessness. In couples/marriage therapy I help my clients explore and resolve both the problems they have as a couple (communication, trust, intimacy, sex, passion, infidelity, conflicts, family planning, divorce etc.) and the personal issues of one or both of the partners that has contributed to their challenges as a couple.
