Psychological counseling and therapy

About Me

My name is Nikola Šlajs. I am English and Czech speaking psychologist and psychotherapist in training living in Zurich, Switzerland. I offer psychological counceling and therapy to English and Czech speaking people living in Zurich or somewhere in the world. Sessions take place either in person in my practice in Zurich, Enge area, or online.

I have earned my undergraduate and master’s degrees in clinical psychology at the University of New York in Prague. I am currently undertaking an accredited psychotherapeutic training in gestalt psychotherapy. I have previously worked as a psychologist in health care at the Psychiatric Hospital Horní Beřkovice in the Czech Republic, where I specialized in addiction recovery and worked with trauma in the form of individual sessions and group therapy.

In my practice, I have further supported clients with anxious and depressive presentations, low self-esteem, and issues with relationships. I have also worked as a volunteer in psychological counseling at the American Association Crosswinds in the Dominican Republic. This experience not only gave me an insight into working with adolescents and addiction in this age group, but also expanded my counseling skills and contributed to my personal growth. I am currently living in Switzerland where I provide my services for the Paracelsus Recovery Clinic as a live-in-therapist. This form of therapy uses a 360° treatment program in which the client is supervised by a multidisciplinary team of experts and 24-hour care.
