When you seek help for anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, you’re not just hiring a professional—you’re trusting someone with your most vulnerable moments. That’s why the etický kódex, soubor základních pravidel, která musí každý legitimní psychoterapeut dodržovat. Also known as etické zásady, it ensures your safety, privacy, and right to informed consent. Without it, therapy becomes a gamble. In the Czech Republic, ethical codes are enforced by professional associations like Česká společnost pro psychoterapii, and they’re not just paperwork—they’re your legal and moral shield.
A good terapeutický vztah, základní pilíř účinné psychoterapie, který vzniká jen při dodržování etických pravidel can’t exist without boundaries. That means no flirting, no social media contact outside sessions, no pressure to buy books or supplements, and never sharing your story with others. Your therapist must keep records secure, get your written consent before recording sessions, and refer you to another professional if they can’t help you properly. If they skip any of this, they’re not just unprofessional—they’re breaking the law. You have the right to ask: "What ethical code do you follow?" and "Can I see your certification?" If they hesitate, walk away.
Many people don’t realize that akreditace terapeuta, formální ověření kvalifikace a etického vzdělání isn’t optional. In the Czech Republic, only those with state-recognized training and ongoing supervision can legally call themselves psychoterapeuta. Unaccredited practitioners may offer cheap sessions, but they’re not bound by the same rules. They might overpromise results, push unproven methods, or even exploit your vulnerability. That’s why checking credentials isn’t nitpicking—it’s survival. Look for diplomas from accredited universities, membership in professional associations, and proof of continuing education. If they can’t show you any of it, they’re not worth your time.
When you’re struggling with trauma, depression, or burnout, you need more than advice—you need a safe container. The etický kódex creates that container. It’s what stops a therapist from becoming a friend, a guru, or a savior. It keeps the focus on you, not their ego. It ensures you’re never pressured into something you’re not ready for. It protects you from being labeled, pathologized, or manipulated. And it gives you the power to say no—to a technique, to a pace, to a person.
What you’ll find in the posts below are real, practical questions people ask when they’re trying to navigate therapy in the Czech Republic: How do you spot a scam? What should you ask before your first session? Why does accreditation matter more than a fancy website? You’ll learn how to protect yourself, what red flags to watch for, and how to find someone who truly respects your dignity—not just your money.
