About me
I am a psychologist and psychotherapist. I provide individual psychotherapy using a psychodynamic approach. I have experience of working with young people and adults. I invite you to engage in in-depth work that involves reflecting on what lies within our unconscious, within a safe therapeutic space. I am interested in work based on psychoanalytic theory. I gained a thorough understanding of the principles of therapy during my four-year training at the ‘Rasztów’ Institute. Over the years, I have become increasingly convinced of how inspiring and enriching this method is for both parties in the therapeutic relationship. During sessions, the client is invited to analyse themselves and the situations they find themselves in, together with the therapist. Depending on the patient’s needs and circumstances, I tailor the form of therapy to suit them and work on an individual basis. Psychotherapy is a journey that I would be happy to help you undertake. It is always a meeting characterised by respect and understanding, an opportunity to navigate changes safely or to move towards them. The practice of psychotherapy requires constant self-improvement, ongoing professional development and a sense of responsibility towards the other person. To ensure the highest possible quality of my services, I undergo regular supervision.
Education and experience
I graduated in psychology from Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw and from the Faculty of Education at the University of Warsaw. I have also completed the first level of Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) and am currently undergoing training at the ‘Rasztów’ Institute of Group Analysis. I gained my professional experience at the Mental Health Clinic in Tarczyn and at numerous psychological and educational counselling centres. I specialise in individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults and young people, personality disorders, depression, anxiety disorders,
psychosomatic complaints, difficulties in interpersonal relationships, traumatic childhood experiences, consultations for people facing difficult or crisis situations in their personal and family lives, consultations for parents interested in supporting their children’s development, and support during divorce-related situations.
