Demetrovics Orsi

Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychologist and Mental Health Specialist, Family Therapist

I graduated as a psychologist in 2005 from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), and later obtained my qualification as a clinical child and adolescent psychologist at the University of Pécs. In 2024, I also qualified as a family therapist. From 2009 to 2021, I worked at the mental health outpatient department of Heim Pál Children’s Hospital, where I gained experience in the assessment and therapy of children and adolescents.

Since 2022, I have also been practicing at the Panoráma Poliklinika, primarily offering consultations for children and adults with ARFID.

I was trained as a clinician within a psychodynamic framework. My method-specific training is person-centered, and I also work using a mentalization-focused approach. I provide affirmative support for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Access to appropriate support for children with eating disorders—especially those with ARFID—and their families is often limited. For this reason, I wanted to create a place specifically for them, where they can receive psychological support with a strong professional background and, when necessary, care from other specialists within a collaborative team framework.

Karner Judit

Special Education Teacher (MSc), DSZIT Therapist (Dynamic Sensory Integration Therapy), Early Intervention Specialist

I graduated as a special education teacher in 2006 from the Faculty of Special Needs Education at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE-BGGYK), and in 2012 I completed my Master’s degree in Special Education Therapy. In 2015, I also passed my professional licensing examination.

Throughout my career, I have felt especially close to complex early intervention work, as well as to supporting preschool-aged children and children with severe and multiple disabilities. I have gained most of my professional experience in these areas.

Over the years, I have participated in numerous further trainings and professional courses, two of which I would highlight as particularly relevant to my work at the Finomhangoló Workshop.

In 2015, I completed an eating-focused training led by the NoTube© Team, which provided practical knowledge—based on the methodology of the Graz Pediatric Clinic—specifically related to early childhood feeding and nutritional disorders, tube feeding, and tube dependency.

In 2024, I obtained my qualification as a DSZIT (Dynamic Sensory Integration Therapy) therapist. This allows me to support neurodivergent young children whose eating difficulties are not caused by medical conditions but by sensory processing disorders.

For families with young children who turn to the Finomhangoló Workshop team, I can provide practical support in the following areas:

• Difficulties during the complementary feeding process

• Selective eating and ARFID

• Feeding challenges related to sensory processing disorders

• Feeding difficulties due to medical conditions, developmental disorders, or complications of central nervous system trauma

• Tube feeding and tube management

• Introducing oral tasting and eating alongside tube feeding

In Budapest, in-person consultations take place at the Zümmögő Therapeutic and Professional Community Space, which I have been operating as my own private practice since 2024. If needed, I also offer consultations online.

Radics Alexandra

Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychologist and Mental Health Specialist

I obtained both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Eötvös Loránd University, and completed my specialist training in clinical psychology at Semmelweis University.

In the years following university, I worked as a psychologist in a children’s home, where I primarily supported disadvantaged children and adolescents who had experienced abuse and neglect. It was here that I truly learned the importance of psychological presence, patience, and building trust. Since 2021, I have been working at a metropolitan pedagogical service center, where I conduct expert assessments and provide educational counseling. As part of expert evaluations, we assess developmental and learning difficulties, adjustment and behavioral problems, and determine the need for special educational support. Within educational counseling, I work with preschool- and school-aged children and adolescents to explore and alleviate psychological difficulties (e.g., anxiety, anger management issues, self-awareness development), while also supporting parents with their related concerns.

I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) methods, adapting them to the child’s age and level of understanding. At the same time, a person-centered approach is also important to me, as it allows young people to work through their difficulties at their own pace in an accepting and supportive environment.

As a professional, I represent an accepting, patient, and practical approach. I believe that every child and young person is capable of growth when provided with appropriate support, and I strive to accompany them with the best of my knowledge and experience.

You may contact me with the following concerns:

• Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

• Anxiety disorders

• Mood disorders

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Anger management and emotion regulation difficulties

Fügedi Adrienn

Candidate Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychologist and Mental Health Specialist, Parent-Infant and Early Childhood Relationship Consultant
Play Therapist, Autogenic Training Instructor for Adults, Pregnant Individuals, and Children

I graduated as a psychologist in 2012 from Eötvös Loránd University, specializing in Clinical and Health Psychology, and earned my Parent-Infant Relationship Consultant diploma at Pázmány Péter Catholic University. I am currently a candidate in the Clinical Child Psychology program at the University of Pécs.

I work primarily with children under 6 years old, focusing on the following areas:

• Regulatory difficulties related to eating, sleep, soothing, emotional-will development, and toilet training

• Challenges in relational attunement within the parent-child relationship

• Cases where multiple regulatory difficulties occur simultaneously, persistently, and intensively, and parents feel the need for professional support

At the Finomhangoló Workshop, I can provide support in the following areas:

• Psychological aspects of breastfeeding and feeding difficulties

• Growth and weight gain issues

• Challenges around establishing eating and feeding routines, including after the introduction of complementary foods

• Difficulties with selective eating

• Feeding difficulties caused by sensory integration disorders

• ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)

I work with a relational and systemic perspective, using brief, dynamic therapeutic methods. My approach emphasizes close collaboration and reciprocity with families, which helps attune to the child’s abilities, recognize their uniqueness, and identify their strengths and resources.

Ágoston Réka

Conductor, Complex Movement Therapist / Motor Skills Therapist, Early Intervention Specialist, Behavioral Analyst

I graduated in 2010 from the András Pető Faculty of Semmelweis University with a BA degree in Conductive Education, specializing in Early Childhood Education. As a newly qualified graduate, I began my career in Szeged at the county early intervention and pedagogical support service institution.

I have complemented my professional practice with numerous additional trainings. Among these, I would like to highlight the “JóLenni” training organized by the Budapest Early Intervention Centre, focusing on the theoretical and practical foundations of complex early therapy for feeding and eating disorders, the SEED Developmental Scale (Sewall Early Educational Development Scale), and in 2016 I obtained a BA degree in Psychology. I am currently awaiting the start of foundational training in the therapy of craniomandibular dysfunctions.

Family-centered early childhood intervention, with its complex and multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach, continues to play a defining role in my work. In my current practice, I work with children aged 0–4 years who present delayed or atypical developmental and motor patterns due to central nervous system injury or other causes, providing comprehensive individual and group-based developmental support. Since 2019, I have been working as a private practitioner.

At the early stage of my private practice, the need for supporting early childhood feeding difficulties became immediately apparent. Since then, a central focus of my work has been the treatment of organically based feeding difficulties closely related to motor skills, including early childhood chewing and swallowing problems.

At Finomhangoló Műhely, I provide consultation and support to families with young children in the following areas:

• difficulties initiating complementary feeding

• challenges transitioning between food textures and texture-based selectivity

• refusal of solid foods, gagging, or vomiting during chewing

• immature oromotor and orofacial skills resulting from central nervous system injury or developmental disorders

• long-standing feeding refusal following early traumatic oral–pharyngeal experiences (e.g., choking episodes, significant reflux/spitting up, vomiting, GERD, nasogastric tube feeding, nasal suctioning, forced feeding)

dr. Major Zsuzsanna

Dietitian, Certified Human Kinesiologist

I began my higher education at Semmelweis University’s Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, where I graduated as a Certified Human Kinesiologist. I later earned my dietitian qualification at the same university in 2022. In the same year, I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation, which focused on sudden cardiac death in athletes. I am a member of the Hungarian Society of Sports Medicine, the Hungarian Society of Cardiology, the Hungarian Dietetic Association, the Hungarian Society of Internal Medicine, and the Hungarian Pediatric Society.

After receiving my degrees, I started working in child nutrition. Initially, I oversaw dietary services for children in the 22nd district of Budapest, and later expanded to supervise dietary programs for children in Kistarcsa and Gödöllő.

I am committed to continuing professional development and regularly participate in and present at conferences organized by various professional associations. I have completed, among others, Stanford University’s “Child Nutrition and Cooking” course and the FIFA Diploma in Football Medicine program.

My main areas of expertise include:

• Childhood nutrition-related allergies

• Feeding issues associated with regulatory and certain neurobiological disorders (e.g., ADHD, hyperactivity)

• Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

• Certain metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes, phenylketonuria)

• Complementary feeding

As a dietitian and a mother, my mission is to help develop individualized nutrition strategies for the children who come to me. I also focus on addressing parents’ questions and concerns. I am passionate about making healthy nutrition simple, tasty, and enjoyable.

Szabó Rózsa Vivien

Psychologist, PhD Student

I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Psychology at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) and am currently pursuing my doctoral studies at the ELTE Doctoral School of Psychology, within the Department of Clinical Psychology and Addictology. My doctoral research is a psychodiagnostic clinical study primarily examining borderline personality organization, with a particular focus on mentalization. I joined the parent study framing my doctoral research during my Master’s program, and the clinical experience I gained over the years in various institutions has greatly shaped my professional identity.

In addition to applied psychology, I am also engaged in academic work and currently teach as a doctoral candidate at ELTE’s Faculty of Education and Psychology (PPK).

My approach is strongly influenced by psychodynamic perspectives, which is why I place special emphasis on ensuring that, alongside assessments and psychodiagnostic work, the patient as an individual is always present in the process. The therapeutic relationship between patient and clinician also plays a central role. High-quality relational connection is very important to me, and I strive to embody this through my presence and approach.
