Psychophonetics in English – Based in Brno

A gentle, holistic approach to emotional and inner wellbeing

Psychophonetics offers a respectful, non-invasive way of working with inner experience that supports emotional regulation, self-awareness, and personal development. From the very beginning, the emphasis is on your agency: you remain in the driving seat of the process, while the practitioner’s role is to support, clarify, and midwife your own insights and capacities.

What is Psychophonetics?

Psychophonetics is a body-oriented, awareness-based approach to self-development and counselling. It was developed by Yehuda Tagar and has its roots in psychosophy, a stream of practical psychology emerging from the work of Rudolf Steiner, which explores conscious awareness, inner freedom, and human development.

The approach works with how thoughts, emotions, and life experiences are expressed through bodily sensations, posture, gesture, inner imagery, and speech. By bringing clear, attentive awareness to these experiences, you can begin to relate to them differently — with more space, choice, and self-trust.

Rather than analysing the past or diagnosing problems, psychophonetics focuses on present-moment experience and on how you perceive and engage with it internally. The aim is not to fix or correct you, but to support your capacity to meet your own experience consciously.

Sessions are conversational, calm, and collaborative. You remain fully conscious and in control throughout the process.

How can Psychophonetics help?

Psychophonetics can support people who are experiencing:

• Stress or burnout
• Anxiety, nervousness, or emotional reactivity
• Difficulties with boundaries, self-confidence, or self-expression
• Life transitions (parenthood, relationship changes, professional shifts)
• Communication challenges
• Inner conflicts or recurring patterns
• A sense of disconnection from oneself

For people navigating change, complexity, or culturally diverse environments, it can be particularly helpful with:

• Adaptation to new life situations
• Questions of identity, direction, or belonging
• Emotional strain connected to transition or uncertainty
• Parenting and partnership challenges

How does it work in practice?

The process typically begins with a conversation phase, where you describe a situation or question you would like to explore. This helps clarify what is alive for you and establishes a shared orientation, without interpretation or analysis.

From there, the work often moves into an action phase, where inner experiences are explored through simple, conscious gesture, posture, and movement. These gestures are not symbolic or performative; they arise from your own perception and are used as a way to meet experience directly and experientially.

In a session, we may explore:

• How an issue is experienced in the body
• Inner gestures, impulses, or images connected to a situation
• The relationship between feeling, thinking, and will
• New ways of meeting inner experiences with awareness and choice

The practitioner does not interpret or direct your experience. Careful questions and gentle invitations support you in recognising what is already present and discovering your own next steps.

The process is non-judgmental, gentle, and practical. You are not asked to relive traumatic events or explain your life story in detail. We work with what arises naturally in the present moment, at a pace that respects your boundaries and rhythm.

How is Psychophonetics similar to other approaches?

Psychophonetics shares elements with:

• Somatic and body-based approaches, through attention to bodily experience
• Mindfulness-based practices, through conscious, present-moment awareness
• Counselling and coaching, through reflective dialogue
• Creative and artistic processes, through gesture, imagery, and expression

Like these approaches, it aims to support clarity, emotional balance, and personal responsibility.

What makes Psychophonetics different?

What distinguishes psychophonetics is its consistent emphasis on inner autonomy:

• You are not analysed, interpreted, or labelled
• No belief system or technique is imposed
• Responsibility and choice remain with you
• The practitioner supports awareness rather than providing solutions
• The focus is on how something is experienced, not on explaining why it exists

This creates a framework in which insight and change arise from within, rather than being introduced from outside.

For those connected to education, parenting, and development

Psychophonetics resonates naturally with approaches that value:

• Whole-human development (thinking, feeling, and will)
• Experiential and creative learning
• Inner freedom and responsibility
• Ongoing self-education and reflection

It can support parents, teachers, caregivers, and others working with children in cultivating greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and presence — qualities that quietly shape relationships and learning environments.

Sessions in English

Sessions are offered in English, in a warm and culturally sensitive way, and take place in Brno. Clients include Czech speakers who prefer to work in English, as well as people from many cultural and national backgrounds.

Psychophonetics is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment, but it can be a valuable complementary approach for those seeking deeper self-understanding and practical inner tools.

If you are curious, reflective, and interested in a gentle yet grounded way of working with yourself — where your own agency is central — psychophonetics may be a good fit for you.
