When working with children and young people, it is important to me to build a relationship based on respect and acceptance. In the safe atmosphere of the therapy room, I aim to understand each child’s individual experiences and their inner reality. I know that young people find it difficult to talk about their emotions, and sometimes it is just as hard to put into words what is happening in their inner world. That is why, in the therapeutic process, I seek alternative forms of expression through art therapy. I use art and creativity to give voice to what is hidden and difficult to express in words. I take a systemic view of each client. A child’s life does not exist in a vacuum, which is why I always view their functioning within the context of the whole family.
Education and experience
I graduated in psychology and sociology from the University of Łódź, and completed a postgraduate course in ‘Early Developmental Support and Early Intervention’ at the Higher School of Pedagogy in Łódź, as well as training at the Dialog School of Psychotherapy. I am also a qualified psychosocial skills trainer and art therapist. I have 18 years’ professional experience, gained in a variety of educational and medical institutions, as well as support centres. I have worked, amongst others, in: Psychological and Pedagogical Counselling Centres and nurseries; the Specialist Non-Public Centre for Hearing Treatment and Rehabilitation; family support and foster care centres, including the ‘Lokomotywa’ Child and Family Support Centre. I have conducted assessments, individual therapy and group sessions as part of Social Skills Training (TUS), as well as sessions developing communication skills based on my own programmes. I have experience of running workshops with school classes, teaching staff, parents and students.
