Yes, please do. It is actually recommended to call a few therapists to see who you can work with best. This is an opportunity for both of us to
see if we can work together. You briefly describe to me your situation and I will let you know if it is appropriate for online work. Also, I
let you know if I am competent to offer you the best suitable support you need at present time. I can provide you with a colleague /
organisation to turn to who best suit to your current need if it is needed.  So, please call to see!

No, I’m currently available for online appointments.

For the past 15 years, in addition to online meetings, I have personally received my clients in the 5th district of Budapest, London, Hammersmith-Fulham and the 3rd and 16th districts of Dublin.

Yes, but 100% guarantee cannot be given using online platforms. Even with in person counselling risks exist, e.g. someone seeing you entering the clinic or a conversation being overheard in a poorly sound-proofed room. Google Meet voice, video and file transfers are encrypted however data breach may occur. I ensure confidentiality and efficiency by all other means and agreements, so we strive for 100%.

Yes, absolutely. I have been working both face to face, via phone and Skype since 2009. Seeing clients online is just as effective as face to face work. Assessing the condition is one of the most important parts of our work, which is why, if possible, it is worth making the first time a face-to-face meeting.

I do not offer psychological opinions for court or university proceedings for use in Hungary. I can, however, provide you with a letter on your attendance of counselling.

For use in the UK as a UK registered psychologist, I can issue a certificate of psychological conditions affecting school, university, work performance where warranted. At least 4-5 meetings are required to assess this justification (letter to confirm exceptional circumstances). For court proceedings, for UK use, I also do not issue a psychological opinion.

The meetings are strictly secret. However there are some exceptions: when I am convinced that the client is a danger to themselves or to someone else; or the client reveals abuse or neglect of a child or a person with special educational needs. I then need to involve a third party in the process, but I will discuss this with the client beforehand. I can share information in supervision, which means ongoing professional supervision with another experienced psychologist trained in supervision.

When someone decides to ask a psychologist for help because they feel they need help, an external, objective point of view, it is very important for the effectiveness of the therapeutic work that the meetings are regular. When we work with personal relationships and life events, permanence is essential. In the midst of big changes, permanence, commitment and responsibility create a sense of security, which is the basis of therapeutic work. Meetings every two weeks are also available if we so decide.

Usually when you reach your therapeutic goal at the beginning of our work. Regardless, you can decide to stop your therapy at any time. If you decide that you do not want to continue the therapy, please have 1-2 times to finish, so you have the opportunity to close the established therapeutic relationship. Closure is very important, as it is also a pattern for the closure of our relationships in life. Completion of therapy means and requires separate joint work. It often happens that the experiences shared during the closing occasions have a catalytic effect. Quite often, precisely because of new experiences, we do not close the job after all. Other times we close, but the client continues the therapy alone with the new experience of the closing occasions.

If, for any reason (including illness), you or your child are unable to show up at the scheduled time, you will be charged a fee. This is because I will reserve the place for you and be available at the agreed time, I will not give the therapy class to anyone else.

You can cancel your appointment at least one week before the meeting without any obligation to pay.

No, I am not eligible to prescribe medication as a psychologist. I can recommend you a private psychiatrist or consult with your GP who can assess you for a prescription.

I am a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Health and Care Professions Council  (HCPC). In Hungary I am a member of the Hungarian Complex Psychotherapy Association (MAKOMP). I am required to adhere to the codes of ethics and professional standards of all three organizations and to follow them to the best of my ability.

Yes, I have professional indemnity insurance, which is a prerequisite for my membership of the UK Health Chamber. I do not currently have a contract with a private health fund in Hungary.

Ahol a szülők közösen nevelik gyermeküket, mindkét szülő/törvényes képviselő írásos beleegyezését kérem, munkánkkal kapcsolatban. A szülő visszautasíthatja az együttműködésre vonatkozó felkérést, hogy nem kíván részt venni a gyermekkel kapcsolatos munkában, de az írásos beleegyezése szükségszerű nyilvánvaló jogi okok miatt. Ahol az egyik szülő felelős törvényileg a gyermekért, akkor ennek a szülőnek a felelőssége, hogy a másik szülőt tájékoztassa a gyermek terápiás munkájáról. Amennyiben lehetséges, mindkét szülőt megkérem, hogy a gyermekkel való munkában vegyen részt, ahogyan ez általában a gyermek legfőbb érdeke is, néhány indokolt kivételtől eltekintve. Nem terhel felelősség azért, ha a szülők nem szolgáltatnak valósághű információt a fent említettekkel kapcsolatban. Ha további kérdése van, kérem hívjon fel!

Where parents are raising their child together, I request the written consent of both parents / legal representatives in connection with our work. The parent may refuse to cooperate if he or she does not wish to participate in the child’s work, but his or her written consent is required for obvious legal reasons. Where one parent is legally responsible for the child, it is the responsibility of that parent to inform the other parent of the child’s therapeutic work. Where possible, I ask both parents to be involved in working with the child, as is usually in the best interests of the child, with a few justified exceptions. I have no responsibility if parents do not provide truthful information regarding the above. If you have any further questions, please call me!
