I am a certified teacher and supervisor of courses based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive
Therapy (MBCT) and have been dedicated to personal mindfulness practice since 2002. My
lifelong passion lies in the study of original Buddhist texts and Buddhist psychology, which
intersects with Western psychology in the secular programmes I teach.
I have completed specialist training at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of
Oxford, where I earned a Master’s degree in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
with Distinction. I also graduated with honours in Psychological Therapies Practice
(Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Approaches) at Exeter University. I hold a
Certificate of Competence according to the internationally recognised MBI-TAC criteria. Since
2023, I have been pursuing a DPhil in Psychiatry at the University of Oxford.
I teach courses for students at the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University and am a
member of the Mindfulness Research and Practice Network of Masaryk University, an
academic centre at the forefront of mindfulness research, teaching, and application in the
Czech Republic. I am also a co-author of the eHealth mindfulness programme MUNI Healthy
Minds, designed to support mental well-being and cultivate a fulfilling life.
I teach in both English and Czech, in academic institutions as well as private organisations.
Since 2024, I have been a tutor in the MSt in MBCT programme at the University of Oxford.
