Since 2005, I have been helping people address personal, work-related, relationship, and family issues = to live. For several years, I worked at the Family Counseling Center of the Olomouc Region (in the legendary villa on “Žilinská”).
I help people with depression, relationship problems, personal changes, children’s behavioral issues, and university studies. Couple or family therapy is also available with two experienced therapists (female and male). You can come alone, as a couple, or with your entire family. I work with both traditional and “non-traditional” families and approaches.
I view individuals from a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual perspective, taking into account the person’s own viewpoint. I utilize a holistic approach – primarily narrative (systemic) psychotherapy with inspiration from other approaches (e.g., gestalt, Jungian psychotherapy, SFBT, somatic experiencing, psychoanalysis, video interaction training, biosynthesis, CBT, logotherapy, and parts work). The number of sessions is individual, but I strive to keep them to a minimum. The goal is to support clients’ life resources so that problems are resolved without requiring external help. This can sometimes take time, while other times one session is sufficient.
I continuously educate myself in psychology, therapy, and counseling through supervision and shorter or longer training courses, stays, or my own psychotherapy under the guidance of experienced psychologists. For example:
*systemic and narrative psychotherapeutic training (5 years): Jan Hesoun, Markéta Závěrková, Petr Doležal, Helena Šašková, Anna Klimešová, Zdeněk Macek et al.;
*narrative couple therapy (6 online specialization workshops): Chana Rachel Frumin (Israel);
*narrative work with suicidal and depressed people (6 online specialization workshops): David Newman (Australia, The Dulwich Centre) *Psychosomatic Clinic (6 weeks psychotherapeutic and developmental stay): Jaromír Kabát et al.; *self-development program Centro Takiwasi – Tarapoto, Peru (4 weeks; ayahuasca; purga etc.): Jacques Mabit, Jaime Torres, Veronika Kavenská et al.;
*experiential stay, Putumayo, Colombia (4 weeks): Taita Jose Putumayo; *researcher at Leibniz Institute for Social Sciences (GESIS), Mannheim (4 months);
*researcher at University of Humanistic Studies, Utrecht (multiple several-month stays);
*crisis intervention training (2 years): under the guidance of Bohumila Baštecká et al.
*regular supervision (past or present collaboration with e.g., Petr Doležal, Jan Hesoun, Lubomír Smékal, Bohumila Baštecká, Jan Poněšický);
*many shorter stays at universities (e.g., Aston University, UK; University of Portsmouth, UK; FSEV UK, Slovakia; University of York, UK; University of New York in Prague);
*many shorter training courses, workshops (e.g., biosynthesis, dance therapy, voice therapy, video interaction training, logotherapy, analytical therapy, individual therapy, art therapy, inner voices, dialogical acting, mindfulness, motivational interviewing).
Note: I have completed the long-term (5 years) systemic-narrative training (mentioned above). In March 2025, I should complete the final case study defenses and receive certification. Continuing supervision is, of course, maintained.
Since 2013, I have been working in my private practice. I am a full member of the Association of Marriage and Family Counselors and the Czech-Moravian Psychological Society.
I provide counseling in Czech (Slovak) and English. My working hours are flexible, based on prior telephone or email arrangement.
All clients are treated anonymously, and no information is provided to third parties or organizations, except for legally mandated exceptions. For example, the obligation to prevent a serious crime supersedes therapist confidentiality. Specifically, this might involve ongoing child sexual abuse or plans to harm another person. The vast majority of crimes do not need to be reported. More information in paragraphs 167 and 168 of the Criminal Code at this link.

Recommendations
When I talk to Ales, I feel like I am talking to a real person who really cares, and who is at the same time a highly-experienced professional. I can warmly recommend him to anyone seeking support and guidance in difficult times. Note: Ales, thank you so much, our sessions have been absolutely vital in keeping my head on my shoulders in some dark and crazy times, and your words really helped me navigate through stormy weather. I don’t think I’d be where I am now without your help. (Mark, 38, 2 chidren)
I found Aleš Neusar through a colleague’s recommendation in the industry. I felt the need to discuss the challenges of being a company executive and business consultant with a professional listener. Aleš is a perceptive, likeable, and attentive gentleman who, with his subtle smile and quiet voice, directly encourages discussion of any topic. We have met several times, and each time he has inspired me to address a set of themes that have emerged in my work and life. And it’s not just about solving issues ‘here and now,’ but rather finding systemic solutions so that I can cope with situations in the long term. Long-term and with overlap – whether the topic is professional or personal. And when I don’t like his first advice for whatever reason, he searches his memory and pulls out a set of other possibilities, different perspectives, and finds an approach that suits me. Aleš – thank you.
