Life brings challenges—it’s part of being human. Often, people seek help when something feels stuck, painful, or overwhelming. Here are some of the areas people commonly bring to therapy:
Work & Professional Life
Exhaustion, burnout, or lack of motivation
Feeling “empty” despite professional success
Being overlooked for promotion or recognition
Conflict between career demands and personal fulfilment
Migration & Belonging
Feeling in-between cultures or “never fully at home”
Isolation or loneliness in a new country
Stress around bureaucracy, language, or cultural adjustment
Guilt or conflict about staying abroad vs. returning home
Relationships & Family Life
Cycles of conflict or emotional neglect
Leaving or staying in an unsatisfying or abusive relationship
Love triangles or repeated patterns of being “the third”
Parenting challenges, including with step-families
Tensions with in-laws, parents, or around elder care
Parenthood & Fertility
Difficulty conceiving, going through IVF or egg-freezing

Feeling trapped in destructive patterns
Inner Life & Wellbeing
Loneliness, emotional detachment, or “persistent stuckness”
Obsessions (sexual, substance-related, career, etc.)
Non-acute suicidal thoughts or fantasies
Frustration despite outward success
Spiritual & Existential Questions
Feeling abandoned by faith, God, or meaning
Collapse of a worldview or belief system
Searching for ritual, connection, or transcendence

How Therapy Works
I offer individual and group psychotherapy. Group therapy provides a powerful relational space to observe and transform repeating patterns. Individual sessions allow for focused exploration.
Group work is not suitable for everyone—it requires a certain robustness and a capacity to tolerate the emotional intensity of group dynamics. It is often a later stage in personal work, following progress in individual therapy.
Taking the Next Step
You don’t need to wait until things feel “serious enough”. If you recognise yourself in any of the situations above—or simply feel something isn’t quite right—this may be the right time to reach out to me or to a colleague.

I look forward to hearing from you,
Lena Ildikó Vincze Németh
