MY PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY

I have been working in the field of psychological counselling since 2008.

Throughout my professional career, I have gradually expanded my practice to include psychotherapy, working with individuals affected by addictive behaviours, coaching, and professional supervision.

I graduated with a Master's degree (Mgr.) in Social Work with a Healthcare Focus from the Faculty of Social Studies at the University of Ostrava, Czech Republic. My university studies also included two semesters at Hogeschool van Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Between 2009 and 2012, I completed the MOVISA III psychotherapy training programme – Comprehensive Systematic Training in Virginia Satir's Growth Model Approach to Psychotherapy, comprising 690 hours.

I also have 18 years of professional experience in addiction treatment and counselling. During this period, I served as the Head of the Renarkon Therapeutic Centre, a non-profit organisation providing outpatient addiction treatment and specialised social counselling.

Throughout my career, I have also collaborated with the Probation and Mediation Service of the Czech Republic, working as an external psychotherapist supporting victims of violent crime.

Since 2015, I have also specialised in coaching and professional supervision. Between 2015 and 2017, I completed a 500-hour Comprehensive Training Programme in Systemic Supervision and Coaching for Helping Professionals.

For five years, until September 2022, I served as Chair of the Outpatient Addiction Services Section of A.N.O., the Association of Non-Governmental Organisations Providing Addiction and Social Services for People Affected by Addictive Behaviours (now APAS).

Between 2019 and 2020, I also completed a 200-hour training programme in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy.

In 2021, I successfully completed three postgraduate professional programmes:

Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Coaching, Mentoring and Leadership
Master of Science (MSc.) in Management
Master of Public Administration (MPA)

These programmes were delivered by EDU Effective Business School in cooperation with LIGS University, USA.

Alongside my professional practice, I am also involved in professional writing and publishing activities and have authored several conference contributions.

INTERNATIONAL AND CORPORATE COLLABORATIONS

Since 2022, I have been collaborating with Spring Health, an international mental health platform that provides employees of leading global companies with access to psychological and psychotherapeutic care.

I also collaborate with Kyan Health and Assessment Systems by Mavie Work through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Through these collaborations, I provide psychotherapy and psychological counselling services in international and corporate settings, in both Czech and English.

KTM – KANTOR TRANSFORMATION METHOD™

Throughout my years of experience in psychotherapy, coaching, and professional supervision, I have gradually integrated approaches and techniques that have proven valuable in my work with clients and that complement one another.

This professional development led to the creation of KTM – Kantor Transformation Method™, my own integrative transformation approach combining psychotherapy, systemic principles, and coaching into one structured process of personal change.

KTM is based on the belief that understanding what is happening in our lives is important, but meaningful change also needs to be reflected in how we experience life, make decisions, build relationships, and navigate everyday situations.

I am the creator of KTM – Kantor Transformation Method™ and KTM Intensive, a programme that applies this methodology in an intensive six-week format.

ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

I continuously expand my professional knowledge and skills through specialised training programmes, courses, and workshops in psychotherapy, counselling, supervision, coaching, and personal development.
