About me

In my work, what is key for me is an individualised approach and building a therapeutic relationship based on empathy. I follow the integrative approach, which is primarily guided by a systemic perspective, allowing me to recognise a person’s needs from various angles. An essential element of my work is ‘curiosity’ and respect for the experiences that each individual brings.

Education and experience

I have over 18 years’ experience working with young adults, adults and families. I have completed numerous courses and trained at two therapy schools: WTTS and Dialog. I hold a psychotherapist certificate from the Polish Psychological Association (PTP). I gained my experience as a sports psychologist and psychotherapist in private centres and hospital settings. I currently work at the Dialog Therapy Centre and in the child and adolescent psychiatric ward in Konstancin.
