FAQ
What people ask before our first meeting
Is this therapy?
No. Sessions at Semilla are not psychotherapy or a substitute for professional care. I do not diagnose or treat. I offer space, attention and guidance on the path of self-discovery: through conversation, body awareness and gentle, honest questions.
What if I don't know what to bring?
That is completely fine. Often a feeling that something isn't right is enough, or simply curiosity about getting to know yourself better. We start where you are right now.
How does the introductory call work?
The introductory call takes 30 minutes and is free. It takes place online or by phone. We get to know each other, you tell me what brings you, and I explain how I work. Together we find out whether we are a good fit. There is no obligation to continue.
How much does a session cost?
A 60-minute session costs 55 €, a 90-minute session 75 €. The introductory call is free. The women's circle costs 35 € per person.
How often do we meet?
That is up to you. Some people come for a single session, others want to go deeper. In longer-term work we usually meet once every one or two weeks. Together we set a rhythm that suits you.
What are the workbook and the check-in?
In longer-term work I prepare an individual self-development plan for you in the form of a written workbook: questions, exercises and space for your own notes. Between sessions we have a short check-in once or twice a week, whatever suits you best.
Can we work online?
Yes. Online sessions take place via Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. All you need is a quiet place where no one will disturb you, and headphones. In person, we meet in Bratislava or Trnava.
Is it confidential?
Yes. What is said in a session stays between us. I do not pass anything on, and I process your data only to arrange and carry out our work together. More in the Privacy policy.
Who is Semilla not for?
If you are going through an acute crisis, have thoughts of harming yourself, or need a diagnosis or treatment, please contact a doctor, psychologist or psychotherapist. If during our work I see that a specialist would help you more, I will tell you openly and we will find the next step together.
