I have been interested in psychology, meditation, and Buddhism since my teenage years. Inspired by my high school history teacher and a psychology textbook, I began practicing meditation—an experience that set me on an exciting journey of self-discovery, which I’ve been exploring ever since. 

I earned my degree in psychology at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE). While I initially appreciated the theoretical orientation of my studies, over time I found myself increasingly drawn to experiential, self-exploratory approaches. This led me to complete the person-centered counselor training at the Hungarian Person-Centered Psychotherapy and Counseling Association. The experience had a profound impact on me, awakening a strong desire to support others in a similar way. Since then, I’ve been working as a facilitator of personal development.

In the meantime, I also took part in the doctoral program at ELTE’s Doctoral School of Psychology for three years, but ultimately decided not to complete my PhD studies due to changes in my interests.

Meanwhile, the path of meditation has become increasingly important in my life. I’ve participated in several Buddhist meditation groups and currently maintain a daily zen meditation practice. I feel it is important to emphasize that I have no intention of imposing any worldview on those who turn to me.

From 2016 to 2021, I was an active member of the professional team of the Rogers Center Foundation, where I facilitated numerous person-centered self-awareness groups. I also took part in several professional trainings with the Foundation’s team and gained experience in the experiential branch of the person-centered approach. To this day, I am a member of the intervision group organized by the Foundation for person-centered professionals.

Since 2018, I’ve been regularly attending professional trainings led by Dr. Manu Bazzano, a London-based psychotherapist, supervisor, and researcher. He has been working on developing a new, innovative approach to therapy based on Zen Buddhism, the philosophical counter-tradition, and diverse psychotherapeutic orientations—including person-centered and existential psychology, and certain psychoanalytic schools. In connection with this work, I’ve also published articles in psychotherapy journals (see: publications).

Currently, in my free time, I am learning Scottish dance and pursuing philosophical studies, with particular interest in Nietzsche, Deleuze, Adorno, and Hegel.
