About me

I am a psychotherapist specialising in children and young people, with many years’ experience in education. In my therapeutic work, I am guided by mindfulness, genuine connection and an understanding of each young person’s individual needs. It is particularly important to me to build a relationship based on trust and a sense of security – I believe that it is the therapeutic relationship itself that is the key factor in healing. I find great satisfaction in supporting children and young people as they develop, build their strengths and overcome difficulties. I work within the psychodynamic tradition, drawing on my knowledge of systemic therapy, whilst also adopting an integrative approach, utilising various methods and adapting them to the patient’s age and needs.

Education and experience

I am an educator and a psychotherapist specialising in children and young people. I completed a four-year psychotherapy training programme at the School of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy (Psychoeducation Laboratory) and the ReGeneRacja Centre in Warsaw. For over 17 years, I worked as an educator, gaining experience in working with children and young people of various ages and with a wide range of needs. I also undertook training in child and adolescent psychiatry wards, which deepened my understanding of the mental health issues faced by young people and strengthened my therapeutic skills. Since 2021, I have been providing psychotherapy, supporting children and young people in building their mental wellbeing. I am currently undertaking a pre-examination internship with the Medical Chamber, following which I will be awarded the title of specialist in medical sciences in the field of child and adolescent psychotherapy.

factsInteresting facts

For many years, I have been leading a team that organises an original forest-based educational initiative, in which I combine elements of Waldorf pedagogy, alternative education and the principles of attachment parenting.
I gained experience whilst working as a teacher in Poland, Germany and Denmark, which has broadened my perspective on child development in different cultural and systemic contexts.
In my work, I draw inspiration from concepts of freedom in education – including those put forward by Peter Gray – and from the practices of teal organisations.
I also hold a qualification in independent education from the University of Warsaw.
In my private life, I’m a mum and a keen cyclist, traveller and music lover – these activities help me maintain a sense of balance and give me the energy to seek meaning in life :).
