Dr. Anna Kiss Szőke

The doctor is not expected to receive any new patients until September. Thank you for your understanding!

I have studied at the Medical University of Szeged 1991-1996, from which I graduated as a general practitioner in 1996.

I received my specialist medical examination in psychiatry in 2001.

In 2010 I completed a postgraduate course in English-Hungarian professional medical translation and interpreting.

Following my university years, I started working in Budapest in 1996, at the National Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology, more commonly known as Lipót. That my interests within psychiatry took a psychotherapeutic turn was largely influenced by this institution, full of experienced professionals.

After my specialist medical exam, I moved back to Szeged in 2002 and I am currently fully employed by the Outpatient Clinic within the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Szeged. Ever since 2010 I have taken part in the practical education of university students, which I always considered to be an important part of my job, and also motivates me to continuously educate myself further, since I aim at handing over my experience as best as possible.

I have studied about autogenous training, analytically oriented bordering time therapy, Balint group leadership, and I am currently studying Symbol Therapy.

I was involved in spiritual guidance of cancer patients during my years in Budapest, and until 2010 I worked a few hours a week at the university life-counselling center, where students looking for psychotherapeutic consultations were most often in crisis, struggling with life skills problems or psychosomatic symptoms; I have since only been a consultant in the work of the Centre, in more severe cases or cases which may require medication.

Besides general psychiatric care, drug therapy or counselling (most usually in case of depression, anxiety, compulsory or panic disorders), I also deal with crisis intervention or psychotherapy consultation in the context of private surgery, in English, if required. I welcome candidates for autogenous training, which may be useful not only for patients with psychiatric symptoms, but also in certain physical illnesses or anxiety generated by a life situation.

I am advanced user of English and I speak Romanian at an intermediate level.
