Miss Jana Hlavonkova

Registered Professional Counselor

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? I listen and I don't judge. Let's break things down to find clarity on what's holding you back.

About Me

If life feels overwhelming, I offer a calm, non-judgmental space to explore what’s happening. Together, we can gently unravel complex feelings and identify patterns that keep you stuck. My aim is to help you gain clarity and find practical ways forward. We’ll work at your pace, transforming confusion into clear steps. This approach suits anyone seeking a supportive guide to navigate life's challenges and build resilience.

Approach

When life feels heavy, I help you map specific moments and choices so each session stays manageable and focused. I work from Amsterdam in English and offer online appointments, creating a predictable, contained space you can rely on between meetings. Sessions blend careful reflection, grounding exercises and small behavioural experiments tailored to anxiety, trauma, relationships and control issues, with attention to shame and suicidal thoughts when they arise. This approach suits adults and couples looking for steady, practical change.
