Adolescence is a time of great change, emotional turmoil and the search for one’s own identity. When working with teenagers, I act as the ‘child’s advocate’ – I create a safe, confidential space for the young person where they feel fully heard, understood and not judged. I help them understand their emotions and build their self-esteem. However, I believe that lasting change does not happen in isolation. The key to success is the involvement and support of parents or carers. I do not offer ready-made solutions, nor do I force a young person to change. Instead, I help the whole family to acquire new skills, communicate more effectively and rebuild mutual trust. We begin our work together with a thorough assessment, which helps us understand the root cause of the teenager’s difficulties. In therapy, I take a holistic approach – combining cognitive-behavioural approaches (CBT, ACT, DBT) with schema therapy and the Brainspotting Kids method. We learn how to regulate emotions, cope with peer-related stress and release tension from the body.
Education and experience
I am a psychologist, a graduate of the University of Warsaw’s psychology programme (including a specialisation in educational psychology), and a certified cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist (certificate no. 2296 PTTPB). I have completed numerous training courses, including Brainspotting Kids, Solution-Focused Therapy (‘I Can Do It’), CBT-I for sleep disorders, sensory and bilateral integration, Social Skills Training, and Schema Therapy. I also use diagnostic tools and provide career guidance (e.g. ‘Profeski’). Over the years, I have worked in educational and therapeutic settings as a psychologist and coordinator of psychological and educational support. I have conducted crisis interventions, mediations, consultations for parents, and provided support for children and young people. Psychological assessment and career guidance form an important part of my work. Using career guidance tools, I help clients assess their potential and plan their career paths. A particular focus of my work is providing empathetic and understanding support to neuroatypical individuals.
