Lidia Pawelec
I am a psychologist, a child and adolescent psychologist, a systemic psychotherapist, and a couples and family therapist.
About me
When working with children and young people, it is important to me to understand their needs, experiences and difficulties. In my work, I draw on various theoretical approaches, taking into account the individual characteristics of each client. When working with younger children, I use games, stories, social stories and metaphorical cards. I am a warm, trustworthy person who provides a sense of stability and security.
Education and experience
I am a graduate of the psychology programme at the Catholic University of Lublin. I completed a two-year training course in systemic family therapy (in 2003) at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology and a four-year training course in psychotherapy at MABOR (in 2015, now the Dialog School of Psychotherapy), accredited by the Polish Psychiatric Association, and the School for Parents and Educators (in 2023). In 2005, I completed training in cognitive-behavioural therapy for children and adolescents, and in 2022, I completed TSR training. I have extensive practical experience, having worked for twenty-four years at psychological andand educational counselling centres in Warsaw, where I have been involved in diagnosis, supporting parents facing parenting difficulties, and providing individual therapy for children and adolescents – mainly of school age – as well as family therapy.
