As a Client, You May Be...

1/

Overwhelmed by Complexity

You're facing information overload, conflicting advice, too many responsibilities pulling you in different directions. You're overthinking every decision, paralyzed by choices, struggling to find your own voice in the noise. You need space to think clearly and orient yourself.

2/

Navigating Major Transitions

You're in the midst of significant change - relocating to another country, shifting careers, ending or beginning a relationship, establishing boundaries with people in power. You're gathering courage to make the change, finding your way through it, or questioning whether you can continue. You need someone who understands the weight of transformation.

3/

Exploring Identity & Direction

You're questioning who you are and where you're headed. Maybe you're exploring your gender identity and seek affirmative care, reconsidering your career path, or feeling lost after a major life shift. You need space to find your footing in the uncertainty.

But most importantly, you are looking for a safe, non-judgmental space where you can focus only on yourself. That is what I offer. A conversation led with care, curiosity, and no agenda other than yours.

Jan Vacha, founder of Udoli

Am I Right For You?

In my sessions, nothing needs to be rushed or resolved quickly. With me, you will be met with care, empathy, curiosity, and time to breathe. I came to this work after a decade in public policy and education — research, systems thinking, teaching, working across cultures — and after eight years of my own therapy. That combination shapes how I work: with intellectual curiosity, genuine care, and no pretense of having all the answers.

I'm Jan Vacha, founder of Udoli. I don't work from a position of authority or a fixed theory of what your life should look like. My approach is grounded in social constructionism — the idea that meaning is something we build, not something we discover pre-formed. In practice, this means our conversations will be guided by your values, your language, and your sense of what matters, not by pre-set ideas of a good outcome or a diagnostic framework imposed from outside.

I ask questions more than I give answers. I am curious rather than directive. And I won't pretend to be neutral. I bring myself to this work, which I think makes it more honest. I believe that no one can be truly objective — and if we claim to be, we have not yet discovered our own biases formed by our cultural, social and economic positioning.

If this sounds right for you, I will be happy to hear from you. The first consultation is free and you can take your time to decide if you wish to work with me further.

I am a psychotherapist in training — here's what that means for you.

  • MSc (Comparative and International Education), University of Oxford
  • BA (Education Studies), University College London
  • Currently in Year 1 of a 6-year Postmodern Psychotherapy programme, accredited by the Czech Association for Psychotherapy (member of EAP)

Being a psychotherapist in training means two things worth knowing: when it comes to psychotherapy, I work under regular clinical supervision throughout our time together, and I am still building the breadth of experience that comes with years of practice.

What I can offer is genuine: careful attention, a grounded theoretical foundation, and real investment in your process.

You can find fully qualified professionals in the directory of the Czech Association for Psychotherapy here.
