Working style
Jan’s working style blends flexibility and structure. He creates a semi-formal space where individuals feel comfortable opening up while following a clear path toward their goals. He actively guides people but encourages them to take ownership of their personal growth. Jan uses regular goal-setting and skill-building techniques to ensure practical progress, while homework and psychoeducation are applied when necessary to reinforce the work done in sessions.
