Souhlas klienta: Co musíte vědět o souhlasu v psychoterapii a koučinku

When you sign a souhlas klienta, formální vyjádření vaší informované svolení k zpracování osobních údajů a provedení psychoterapeutické nebo koučovací činnosti. Also known as souhlas k zpracování osobních údajů, it is not a legal formality—it's the foundation of trust in any therapeutic relationship. Without it, no therapist in the Czech Republic can legally begin working with you. This isn’t about paperwork—it’s about your right to control what happens with your personal story.

The GDPR, evropský předpis o ochraně osobních údajů, který platí i v České republice. Also known as Obecné nařízení o ochraně osobních údajů, it gives you clear rights: to know what data is collected, how long it’s kept, who sees it, and how to delete it. Your therapist can’t share your notes with your employer, family, or even another specialist without your explicit permission. Even in group settings or supervision, your identity is protected. This isn’t a loophole—it’s the law.

And it’s not just about privacy. The terapeutický vztah, kvalita spojení mezi klientem a terapeutem, která rozhoduje o úspěchu léčby. Also known as terapeutická spojenost, it can’t grow without your active consent. You’re not a passive patient—you’re a partner. That means you can change your mind at any time. You can pause sessions, ask for different methods, or even stop therapy altogether. No pressure. No guilt. Your consent isn’t a one-time signature—it’s an ongoing conversation.

Many people think signing a consent form means they’ve given up control. The opposite is true. It’s the moment you reclaim it. You decide what to share, what to keep private, and how fast to move. You’re not forced to talk about your childhood if you’re not ready. You’re not pushed into techniques you don’t trust. Your therapist’s job isn’t to fix you—it’s to walk beside you, guided by your choices.

And yes, it applies to online sessions too. Your data is encrypted. Your video calls are secure. Even your payment details are handled separately from your therapy records. No third-party platforms get access to your personal history. This isn’t marketing—it’s standard practice in ethical centers like ours.

What you’ll find in the posts below are real stories and clear explanations about how this works in practice. From how to ask questions before signing, to what happens if you change your mind mid-therapy, to why some people feel safer after signing their consent—these aren’t legal lectures. They’re honest conversations about what really matters: your safety, your voice, and your right to be heard without fear.
