About me

In my work with patients, I use a cognitive-behavioural approach, incorporating schema therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. At the same time, as a systemic therapist, I take the family context into account where appropriate, and as a clinical psychologist, I endeavour to make use of my diagnostic skills. However, the most important thing for me is to establish a good relationship with the patient. This makes it possible to identify the person’s problems and needs and to work towards changes that will enable them to pursue the values they hold dear in their lives.

Education and experience

I obtained a certificate in cognitive-behavioural therapy and completed training in systemic therapy at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology (IPiN) under the supervision of Professor Irena Namysłowska. I hold the title of specialist in clinical psychology. I gained my professional experience working with adults, families, couples, young people and children in private practice, as well as at the Mental Health Clinic and in the Departments of Psychiatry, Neurology, Oncology and Haematology.
