Jan Machala provides both one-time and regular consultations, short-term therapy for specific issues, and long-term, depth-oriented work. He assists clients with anxiety, depression, psychosomatic issues, eating disorders, life crises, and personal development, including support alongside psychiatric treatment. He also serves as a psychologist at the Center for Cystic Fibrosis at FN Brno and trains junior colleagues. His therapeutic approach is primarily rooted in deep, body-oriented biosyntactic psychotherapy, which connects thoughts, emotions, and bodily processes for healing. He also incorporates expressive-therapeutic techniques like sandplay, attachment-based approaches such as Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) for children in foster care, and EMDR for trauma and acute psychological distress. For personal development, he integrates biosyntactic theory with over twenty years of experience in yoga, meditation, and Chinese movement systems to guide clients toward a more fulfilling life. When working with children and adolescents, he utilizes body-oriented psychotherapy, sandplay, play therapy, and art therapy, emphasizing regular collaboration with parents or caregivers. He does not offer traditional family psychotherapy, except for DDP. Services are self-pay, offering benefits like no referral needed, no diagnosis assignment, full anonymity, and flexible session length.
