About me
Fanni Federics, psychologist
I live in Budapest with my family and I am the mother of a little boy. I see adults in English, French and Hungarian. Many different stories come into my practice, and I meet each of them with the same curiosity and respect.
The long way round
I studied logistics at Budapest Business School and started my career as a buyer at Michelin. At Gexpro I worked with 140 suppliers worldwide, and at GSK I translated between the European supply chain hub and the Hungarian customer service team. Later I moved into business development at EY, marketing at Bayer and international bid management at BT, while completing a master’s in marketing at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
In those years I worked with a great many people, and I kept noticing that the hardest tasks were rarely technical. They were about how we cope with pressure, how we say no, and what we do when a successful life does not feel right from the inside. That question led me to psychology.
I completed my master’s degree in psychology at Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary. My corporate background is one of my strengths today. I speak the language my clients use about their work, and nobody has to explain to me what a quarterly close feels like.
Motherhood gave me another perspective. I know how much invisible work goes into a family, and how easy it is to lose sight of yourself along the way. That is why I particularly enjoy working with new mothers and parents who are looking for their own place between work and family.
What recharges me
A good evening at the theatre, trying a new restaurant, a long dinner with friends, and weekend outings with my son. I believe these small pleasures matter for our wellbeing as much as the problems we work to solve.
How I work
What you can expect
Attention without judgement
The fifty minutes are yours. I will not rush you, or tell you what you should be feeling.
A practical focus
We work on understanding what is happening, and also look for steps you can try in everyday life.
Clear arrangements
You know in advance how long a session lasts and what it costs, and you can always tell me if something is not working.
