Dr. Nagy Alexandra PhD

I completed my studies at the Institute of Psychology of the University of Pécs, which gave me insight into many schools of psychology and their tools. My interest turned towards clinical and health psychology, which I still actively practise. It was health psychology above all that captured my interest, and I eventually specialised in it. Supporting people living with heart disease and helping them cope with chronic illness is close to my heart. I obtained my doctorate at the Institute of Behavioural Sciences of the Medical School of the University of Pécs, where I studied chronic fatigue in cardiovascular disease. The inspiring research environment helped me deepen my knowledge, and I have continued to train ever since so that I can expand my methods with the latest knowledge. I previously worked as a psychologist at the Department of Cardiac Prevention and Rehabilitation of the 1st Department of Internal Medicine in Pécs, and then moved to the Balatonfüred State Hospital for Cardiology, where I still work, now as a clinical psychologist. In my work I like to use elements of art therapy and symbol therapy, and among the essential relaxation techniques I practise autogenic training and progressive muscle relaxation. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to gain a clearer view of a problem in any area of your life (work, relationships, family, other relationships); if you cannot currently see which way to go; if you struggle with your emotions or temper; if you have suffered a loss you find hard to cope with; if you are under too much stress, feel anxious, or are already experiencing physical symptoms (panic-like attacks, headaches, diarrhoea, etc.); if you have noticed a major change in your mood; or if you would like to develop your self-knowledge.
