Call 22 417 44 92About me
When working with children, I try to create a safe and friendly atmosphere. I pay close attention to the behaviour and non-verbal cues of my young clients. I strive to support the emotional well-being of both children and parents as they navigate the challenges of everyday life, as well as during diagnostic and therapeutic processes. In my work, I aim to combine methods and techniques associated with non-directive, play-based work that follows the child’s lead, emotions and needs, with elements of more directive approaches, including those based on the cognitive-behavioural approach. In my work, I also draw on observations and methods derived from sensory integration, as well as work with the body and the nervous system.
Education and experience
I graduated in Clinical Psychology from SWPS University in Warsaw and in Special Education, specialising in Resocialisation Pedagogy and Family Support, from the Maria Grzegorzewska Academy of Special Education in Warsaw, as well as a postgraduate course in Sensory Integration at the Centre for Sensory Integration. I am currently undertaking a comprehensive four-year psychotherapy training programme at the Dialog School of Psychotherapy, accredited by the Polish Psychiatric Association. In addition, I have taken part in numerous training courses on working with children and parents. I gained my professional experience as an educator and psychologist whilst working in children’s homes in Warsaw, a primary school, private nurseries and private psychological counselling centres, where I provide therapy and support for children, young people and adults, as well as educational consultations. I also specialise in the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, ASD) in children and adolescents, as well as individual and group therapy for children with developmental, behavioural and emotional challenges. I have also delivered training on working methods for nursery staff, as well as international training for staff at non-governmental organisations. For several years now, I have been running Emotional Regulation Training and Social Skills Training programmes. My work is subject to regular supervision. I am a member of the Polish Psychiatric Association.
