„We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.”
Confucius
I am Szilvia Tünde SEBESTYÉN.
Psychologist, ICD therapist candidate, Business-, Life-, and Child Coach, Economist, Trainer.
A vulnerable person.
A fragile woman.
A good enough mother.
I love and get disappointed, make mistakes and learn, and I am on a journey, like everyone else. I enjoy writing and dancing. AND I love seeing the good in people and helping them follow their own path and achieve all they can in their lives.
Since I was a young child, I have been interested in how people function and why they do so in the way they do. However, it was only after the birth of my children and the loss of my family of origin and parents that I truly turned to the science of psychology. I experienced the finiteness and fragility of life, the significance of life and death, and the cruelty of life and death too closely and too early. I received a bit of existential shock therapy from life, as Irvin D. Yalom describes in his books. This experience has strongly influenced my professional path, values, and the methods and professionals I began to learn from.

As a professional, I consider myself a humanistic, transpersonal and existentialist practitioner. My interests include health psychology, the psychological background of somatic (physical) illnesses, holistic methods, body-oriented therapies, and child psychology – because “all grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it.” as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry writes at the beginning of The Little Prince. Additionally, the world of fairy tales, arts, and symbols is close to me.

I completed my university studies in clinical and health psychology. As a humanistic, person-centered professional, I consider it important for the developmental process to occur in an accepting, empathetic, and supportive environment. I am a member of the PCE-Europe and PCE-world (WAPCEPC) client-centered, international professional communities.
In terms of self-awareness, I have completed 300 hours of psychodrama-oriented self-awareness training.
I have also tried alternative and controversial methods at the experiential level, such as somatodrama with Dr. László Buda, and Family Constellation with Emma Péntek and Dr. Mária Angster psychotherapist.
In addition to these, I also gained my own experience of using playback theatre techniques for self-awareness.
Currently, I am training in a novel body-oriented, integrative method.
I first learned the tools of coaching with an NLP focus, and then in a holistic approach.
Feel free to reach out to me with confidence!
