Kamil Koter
I am a psychologist, a diagnostician specialising in children, adolescents and adults, and a cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist for children and adolescents.
About me
My work is based on a sincere, safe relationship and mutual trust. In therapy, I focus on the child’s individual needs, approaching their emotions, experiences and everyday challenges with full attentiveness. I use tried-and-tested methods that help young patients discover their strengths and build a stable sense of self-worth. I take a systemic approach – in the therapeutic process, I look not only after the child’s wellbeing, but also ensure collaboration with those closest to them: their family and school. I believe that these play a key role in the child’s development. I want the practice to be a space of acceptance and safety for the child, and for parents – a constant source of support, practical guidance and hope for positive change.
Education and experience
I am a psychologist, a graduate of the University of Warsaw, and a CBT psychotherapist currently undergoing certification (Academy of Motivation and Education). For over 6 years, I have been supporting children, teenagers and their families in overcoming emotional and social difficulties. I have gained my experience in challenging and varied settings: at the Child Psychiatry Ward in Józefów, the 116 111 Helpline, a psychological and educational counselling centre, and a special needs nursery. In my practice, I provide individual therapy and offer counselling for parents (particularly regarding the challenges associated with ADHD and the autism spectrum). I help young people suffering from mood disorders, depression and anxiety, and I also support them in the process of developing their psychosexual identity. My priority is to create a safe, non-judgemental space based on acceptance. In my work, I combine techniques from CBT, ‘Third Wave’ therapy and Schema Therapy, drawing on my diagnostic experience, which enables me to take a precise and holistic view of each client.
