Ms Eniko Takacsy

Mental Health Counselor

Verified

I offer online counselling in English and Hungarian for individuals, intercultural couples, and families, supporting them with relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma, grief and loss, cultural integration, expat life, and parenting challenges.

About Me

I began my career in education, teaching English in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Ireland. Over time, my focus shifted towards the emotional and psychological aspects of human experience, which led me to train as a counsellor and psychotherapist. I completed a BA (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy at Dublin Business School, Ireland, in 2016, a QQI-validated NFQ Level 8 Honours Bachelor Degree (EQF Level 6) within Ireland’s national qualifications framework. Following my degree, I undertook three years of supervised post-training clinical practice, fulfilling the requirements of the Irish Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (IACP), and became an Accredited Member in 2018. I continued working in private practice in Dublin until 2020, providing counselling to individuals and couples, as well as gaining valuable experience in facilitating family and systemic constellation group work. After returning to Hungary, I completed an MA in Mental Health (Expert in Mental Health in Relations and Community Development) at Apor Vilmos Catholic College, Hungary, in 2022. Who I Work With I work online with Hungarian and international clients living in Budapest and abroad. My clients include individuals, couples and families across different stages of life and from diverse cultural backgrounds. Many are navigating emotional, relational or cultural challenges, including adapting to a new country or returning home after living abroad. While you may already be comfortable communicating in English, working with someone who also understands the local language, culture and everyday customs can be particularly helpful when you are living in Budapest. They can bring an understanding of the context in which you are living while giving you the freedom to express yourself fully in English.

Approach

I use an integrative approach, combining: - systemic, humanistic, and psychodynamic frameworks - Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) principles - Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed techniques - Trauma-informed, somatic approaches - practical, experiential tools from psychodrama and family constellations
