Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy at the practice is provided by MUDr. Bohumila Rothová, a board-certified GP who now focuses primarily on psychodynamic psychotherapy for individuals and couples. Psychodynamic therapy works by exploring how past experiences, relationships and unconscious patterns shape present-day feelings and behaviour, helping you understand recurring difficulties rather than only managing their surface effects — an approach that fits naturally alongside the practice's root-cause philosophy. Sessions last 50 minutes and can be booked individually or as couples therapy. As a doctor-led service it sits comfortably within the practice's whole-person model, recognising that mental and emotional health are inseparable from physical health. Booking is binding, with a seven-day cancellation policy, and sessions are self-pay.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy at Funkční medicína Brno is led by MUDr. Bohumila Rothová, a board-certified general practitioner and trained individual and couples psychotherapist who founded the practice and now devotes most of her time to therapy. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a depth-oriented talking therapy. It rests on the idea that present-day emotional difficulties — anxiety, low mood, relationship conflict, recurring self-defeating patterns — are often shaped by earlier experiences, formative relationships and feelings that sit outside everyday awareness. By exploring these connections in a safe, confidential relationship with the therapist, you can come to understand why a pattern keeps repeating and begin to change it, rather than only managing its symptoms. This fits the practice's wider philosophy of looking for the root cause instead of taping over the warning light. A session lasts 50 minutes. Individual therapy focuses on your own experience, history and goals; couples therapy brings both partners into the room to work on communication, recurring conflict and the dynamics of the relationship. There is no fixed treatment length — psychodynamic work typically unfolds over a series of regular sessions, with the pace and duration shaped by what you are working on and the goals agreed with the therapist. Because the work depends on continuity and a stable therapeutic frame, booking is binding and a cancellation made less than seven days before the appointment is charged the full fee. This service suits adults dealing with anxiety, depressive feelings, stress, life transitions, grief, relationship difficulties or long-standing emotional patterns, as well as couples wanting to understand and improve their relationship. Because it is delivered by a physician within a functional-medicine practice, it can be coordinated with the practice's wider whole-person approach, recognising that emotional and physical health are deeply intertwined and that chronic stress and unresolved emotional strain can affect the body. Sessions are self-pay and are not covered by Czech public health insurance. Psychotherapy is not a quick fix and is not a substitute for acute psychiatric care; the therapist will discuss suitability and, where appropriate, signpost to other services at the outset.
