English-Speaking Psychologist in Budapest
Katarina Szakács - psychologist
Welcome! My name is Katarina Szakács, a certified English, Dutch and Hungarian speaking psychologist in Budapest or online, here to support you in navigating life’s challenges with empathy and care. I hold a degree in Applied Psychology from Artesis Plantijn University in Belgium, where I gained extensive experience through internships in psychiatric hospitals and mental health organizations. With years of experience in both Belgium and Hungary, I offer a wide range of psychological services, specializing in self-esteem improvement, trauma processing, and sexual health, ensuring you feel understood and empowered throughout your journey.
How can I help?
As a psychologist, I provide a safe and confidential atmosphere where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. Whether you are dealing with acute trauma, lack of self-confidence, or you are looking for support for difficulties in your life, I will help you find a way out. My personal and supportive approach is designed to help you better understand yourself and discover new paths to well-being.
Developing self-esteem and self-confidence
We work together to gradually improve your self-image, learn self-love, and strengthen your self-confidence in both your personal and professional life, so that you can face everyday challenges with confidence and balance, and live in harmony with yourself.
If you feel like you've fallen into a trap of self-sabotage, procrastination, or struggle to find motivation, we'll work together to understand these patterns and find a way forward. I help you break through barriers and create sustainable habits that support your goals.
Getting out of self-sabotage
Dealing with major life events
Whether you are facing a move, a career change or a relationship crisis, I can help you manage the emotional ups and downs. Together we develop coping mechanisms and strategies that provide security and confidence during changes.
Exploring sexuality
I provide a safe, discreet environment to explore sexual health and intimacy issues. I help you understand your desires and overcome emotional blocks.
Life coaching
Do you feel lost, can't find the direction of your life, or do you feel that you have moved away from your own goals? I help you find the values that are really important in your life and relationships. Together we'll discover what's most important and how you can live more authentically to achieve the goals that truly align with your deepest desires.
Why should you work with me?
I'm young and open-minded , so I easily connect with others, and I'm happy to share personal examples so that the conversation is more informal and you understand a certain situation better.

Flexibility is very important to me, so I can even host you on Saturdays or evenings if you are busy with work and family.
Approach and methods
My therapeutic approach is client-centered and integrative . This means that I adapt each occasion to your unique needs, using various psychological techniques, such as method-specific, solution-focused therapy, positive psychological techniques, mindfulness ,...
I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your feelings and experiences. Whether it's trauma, stress or self-esteem issues, or even just a casual conversation, without expectations or prejudices.
