”I support adults experiencing difficulties related to low self-esteem, anxiety, and emotional or relational challenges. I work with individuals struggling with problems arising from difficult life situations and those who have experienced narcissistic abuse. I provide support to individuals experiencing work-related stress, professional burnout, chronic overwork, and difficulties in maintaining a healthy work–life balance. I also assist those struggling with pressure, exhaustion, and the emotional consequences of demanding professional environments.
In my practice, I am guided by high ethical standards, empathy, mutual trust, and understanding of each patient’s individual needs. My aim is to create a space for therapeutic work that fosters one’s change and enables achievement of one’s therapeutic goals.”
”I am a psychologist and a psychotherapist currently in training by Krakow Psychodynamic Centre. I graduated Jagiellonian University in applied psychology. I have gained my experience through internships at the Dr Józef Babiński Clinical Hospital and the Psychotherapy Department of the University Hospital, as well as through working at one of the Mental Health Centres in Małopolska.
I work with adults experiencing a variety of problems such as lowered mood, emotional instability, anxiety, or difficulties in building relationships with others. In my work, I strive to understand the other person, taking into account their goals, capabilities and needs. This allows me to make use of my knowledge and skills appropriately to aid patients in their difficulties.”
”I support adults in dealing with emotional difficulties, crises, and mood and anxiety disorders.
I work in the cognitive-behavioral therapy approach (CBT), incorporating elements of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Schema Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. I offer short-term therapy (ranging from 3 to 6 months) and long-term Schema Therapy, which can last from 12 months to several years.
In my therapeutic work, I place great importance on an individualized approach to each person, understanding their history, patterns, and coping mechanisms.
To ensure the quality and ethics of my practice, I work under constant supervision. I’m continuously developing my professional skills by participating in numerous trainings in psychotherapy, psychopathology, and trauma. I am a member of the Polish Society for Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy and the Society for Psychotherapy Research.”
• Adults and Adolescents Counseling
• CBT Psychotherapy
”I am a clinical psychologist, trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which combines effective help with the hope for real change. This approach is particularly close to my heart because it allows us to understand the mechanisms behind our thoughts and emotions, while also offering concrete tools to implement positive changes in life. As a result, we can notice quick progress, leading to lasting, positive effects.
I completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology in Sydney, Australia, where I had the opportunity to work with clients from various countries. This international experience has allowed me to better understand the diversity of cultural perspectives, enabling me to tailor therapy to the individual needs of people from different backgrounds. This valuable insight into the challenges faced by my international patients has further helped me develop my skills in empathy and therapeutic flexibility.”

Adult and adolescent psychotherapy
• Couples therapy
“I am a psychologist who values diversity and individuality. I make sure that everyone feels at ease during our meetings. I am LGBTQ+ friendly. I constantly develop my professional skills and I work under regular supervision. My experience includes working with a wide spectrum of disorders in adolescents and adults who:experience a lowered mood, anxiety or frequent mood swings; are going through a crisis; have difficulty understanding their emotions and regulating them; question their gender identity/sexual orientation; are not satified with their relationships or would like to work on a relationship together with a partner; would like to develop their personality and discover their real self. I graduated in psychology and I am currently in the course of psychotherapeutic training at the Silesian School of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Psychodrama.”
“I graduated from Jagiellonian Univ, and earned Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Counseling, Goldsmiths College, Univ. of London. Psychodynamic counseling shares the same core principles as psychodynamic therapy but this process tends to be quick and solution-focused (10-30 sessions). As a psychodynamic counselor I am an active advocate of change rather than a neutral observer. I work with wide range of problems, my specialities being relationship issues and cross-cultural differences.
Working with cultural diversity and in different languages gave me the ability to see more clearly how our choices are determined by factors not so obvious to us at the first glance. I strongly believe we can learn and achieve anything we want if we mantain psychological balance, get access to our own potential and power as well as synchronize mind and heart in order to be really sure what we really want in life”.
‘I offer short-term psychotherapy which is proven to help with: coping with stress and resolving conflicts, feelings of being depressed, anxious, “panicky” or unable to concentrate, bereavement and loss, severe mood changes, difficulties in making or keeping relationships. I help patients to gain an awareness of how their beliefs and actions hurt them and keep them repeating the same unhelpful responses in new situations.
This type of treatment is recommended as an alternative to long term therapy for those wishing to work with defined focus and fulfilling some preconditions. I carefully access all patients during the first sessions and refer all those requiring long term therapy.
I am fluent in English; I lived and worked abroad, in English-speaking environment (UK), for almost fifteen years and I continue using English in my everyday life”.
