My path

For a long time I felt that my life looked fine on the outside, but something essential was missing on the inside.

I couldn’t name exactly what it was.

I felt I should be content, but I wasn’t.

Not at work, not outside of work, not in my relationships.

I felt disconnected from myself.

I experienced stagnation, dissatisfaction, fear of failure, comparison, self-imposed pressure, and the question of whether this was really the life I wanted to live. Then came health problems, crises in marriage and parenthood…

And so I began to search.

Not just in the head

I thought I needed to find the right answer. The right job. The right direction. The right way to be a good father, husband, man.

After years of searching and self-exploration, I came to understand that there is no right path.

Over recent years I immersed myself in psychology, therapy, relationships, bodywork and emotions, and spiritual teachings.

I tried different approaches and went through various forms of inner work — from therapy and couples therapy to encounter groups, men’s circles, bodywork (TRE), complex trauma, toxic shame, emotional patterns, and Internal Family Systems.

Not to turn myself into a perfect person.

Rather to gradually discover that understanding alone is not enough.

We can know why we are afraid and still be afraid.

We can know why we get angry and still lose our temper.

We can know what we should do and still be unable to take the first step.

That is why I am drawn to the place where psychology meets the body, emotions, relationships, and everyday life.

A person is not a problem to be fixed

One of the things I believe most deeply today is that a person is not a broken system.

Inside us there are different parts. Sometimes they want completely opposite things. One wants to move forward, another is afraid. One wants to take a risk, another wants to protect us. One longs for closeness, another withdraws.

Even behaviour that harms us today often began as an attempt to cope with something that was once too difficult.

That is why I don’t want to fight my parts.

I want to understand them.

This doesn’t mean everything we do is fine. It means we can take responsibility without having to hate ourselves for our shortcomings.

For me, healthy self-acceptance is a combination of compassion and honesty.

Man, husband, father

I am a man and I am interested in the male experience.

I believe there are differences between masculine and feminine ways of experiencing that are worth exploring rather than automatically suppressing. At the same time, I think every person carries qualities of the opposite pole and that maturity does not mean staying locked in one box.

I am also deeply interested in partnership.

I don’t believe in the simple story where one person is the culprit and the other the victim. When we repeatedly find ourselves in conflict in a relationship, usually each person has something to see and something to learn.

And perhaps that is precisely why a relationship can be one of the greatest spaces for personal growth.

And then there is fatherhood.

The role of a father opened entirely new horizons for me. It brought a powerful awareness of how much what I experience affects the people around me — and with children this is multiplied. Children are also a very precise litmus test for me. They often show me whether what I am trying to pass on to them is something I truly live myself.

They taught me to lead with greater confidence, but also with greater humility. They showed me that responsibility doesn’t mean always having the right answer, but being willing to look at yourself too, not being afraid to make a mistake, and saying “I’m sorry” when needed.

Coaching

I came to coaching in 2019. At the Business Coaching College in Bratislava, I completed training in individual coaching, team and group coaching, and finally in systemic coaching.

Professionally, I focus mainly on developing teams and the people within them.

In coaching, I am drawn to people who find themselves between two worlds.

The old way of living no longer works, but the new one doesn’t yet have clear contours.

People who are tired of constantly pushing themselves.

People who compare themselves and feel they are falling behind.

People who function outwardly but feel emptiness or unease inside.

People who sense there is more in them but don’t yet know exactly what that “more” means.

I don’t have all the answers

Even today I am still searching, trying, changing my mind, and learning.

And I increasingly think that’s not a flaw.

Perhaps the goal is not to finally reach a point where everything is figured out.

Perhaps the goal is to be grounded enough to keep walking even when we can’t yet see the whole path.

And perhaps that is exactly what it means to live more truly.

Not perfectly.

Not according to some ideal image.

But more honestly.

If you are interested, get in touch and we can pause for a moment, look at what is happening inside you right now, and try to figure out where to move next.
