Psychology Consultation & Psychotherapy

Psychology consultations and psychotherapy at CPM Pavla Koláře are delivered by Mgr. Iva Belasová and Dr. Ema Exner, addressing stress management, burnout, anxiety, sleep disorders, concentration difficulties, and major life transitions. Individual 60-minute sessions are available alongside a 10-session psychotherapy pack at a significantly reduced per-session rate. The clinic context means psychological support can be closely coordinated with physiotherapy and medical care — relevant for patients whose physical symptoms have psychological contributors, or vice versa.

Psychological wellbeing and physical health are not separate silos — chronic pain has psychological dimensions, psychological stress has physiological consequences, and conditions like burnout or anxiety regularly present first with physical symptoms (sleep disruption, muscle tension, fatigue, gastrointestinal complaints) before the underlying psychological state is identified. CPM Pavla Koláře's integration of psychology within a movement medicine and rehabilitation centre reflects this understanding. Mgr. Iva Belasová and Dr. Ema Exner work with individuals across a wide range of presentations. Stress management consultations are relevant to patients — including many of the centre's business and professional clientele — who are managing high cognitive and emotional loads and whose physiological stress markers (elevated cortisol, disrupted sleep, hypertonic musculature) are interacting with their physical health and recovery capacity. Burnout assessment and support is increasingly in demand from professionals who have been pushing through exhaustion for extended periods and need both diagnostic clarity and a structured recovery path. Anxiety treatment at the clinic draws on evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches including cognitive-behavioural techniques and acceptance-based methods, adapted to the individual's presentation and goals. Sleep disorder consultations assess the psychobehavioural contributors to insomnia — sleep hygiene, hyperarousal, maladaptive sleep cognitions — alongside referral to the medical team for assessment of physiological contributors where indicated. The 10-session psychotherapy pack is designed for patients undertaking a structured course of therapy rather than one-off consultations, and its substantially lower per-session rate reflects the commitment required for meaningful therapeutic change. The treating psychologist works in coordination with the physiotherapy and medical team for patients whose care spans multiple specialties.
