Mgr. Jan Machala

I have been going to Mr. Machala for a little over a year and I am extremely satisfied and grateful.
What I appreciate most is the human approach without any pretensions, strong empathy and humor that accompanies the sessions. He always offers perspectives that I would have difficulty coming to on my own. The sessions are therefore revealing, casual and fun for me.
I recommend him to everyone, my psyche is definitely floating after a year of therapy with Mr. Machala.

K panu Machalovi chodím něco přes rok a jsem nesmírně spokojená a vděčná.
Nejvíc si vážím lidského přístupu bez škrobeností, silné empatie a humoru, který sezení doprovází. Vždy nabízí takové úhly pohledu, na které bych sama jen těžko přicházela. Sezení pro mě tak bývají objevná, nenucená a zábavná.
Doporučuju všema deseti, moje psyché si po roce terapie s panem Machalou rozhodně lebedí.

He tried to diagnose my son for about 5 times, who was practically fine, so he wasn’t very successful. During the last visit, when he requested another appointment and I was staring at the ceiling, he probably couldn’t stand the pressure of the situation and started acting passive aggressively. His notes were a mess and he read something from a book in front of me, probably a diagnostic manual. At the end of a rather unpleasant meeting, when I told him again not to be defensive, that I understood that the diagnosis sometimes takes time (no, it didn’t make much sense to me, but what can I say to a surly psychologist..), he told me not to be defensive, that I would just see.
So never again and for a faster diagnosis, I recommend contacting another psychologist, who may also take a long time, but at least he doesn’t make you feel frustrated and knows how to deal with parents.

Asi na 5 pokusu se mi pokusil diagnostikovat syna, kteremu prakticky nic neni, takze se mu to moc nedarilo. Pri posledni navsteve, kdy si vyzadal dalsi schuzku a ja se podivala do stropu, neunesl asi tihu situace a zacal jednat pasivne agresivne. V poznamkach mel bordel a prede mnou si nacital neco z knizek, asi diagnostickeho manualu. Na konci dost neprijemneho setkani, kdy jsem mu opet rekla, at neni v obrane, ze rozumim tomu, ze se diagnoza nekdy tahne (ne, moc mi to smysl nedavalo, ale co mam rict nasupenemu psychologovi..) mi rekl, ze v obrane neni, ze to bych teprve videla.
Takze nikdy vice a pro rychlejsi diagnozu doporucuji oslovit jineho psychologa, kteremu to sice take muze trvat dlouho, ale aspon z neho neni citit frustrace a umi jednat s rodici.

Extremely professional and human approach.

Nesmírně profesionální a lidský přístup.
