Magdalena Krzyżanowska
I am a teacher, a special needs teacher.
About me
By profession, I am a special needs teacher, a teacher, a prevention specialist, an educationalist, a trainer and a therapist; and, out of a deep personal need, I also practise coaching, meditation, mindfulness, yoga and horticultural therapy. I am also an adult on the autism spectrum with ADD, and every day I work on improving my own skills and putting my knowledge into practice by learning to live in harmony with myself and the world around me. My professional mission is to help others on their journey, supporting them in their development, recognising and meeting their psychological needs, and consciously managing challenges in order to reach their full potential. In my work, I am guided by respect, acceptance and genuine connection with others, because every person – young or old – needs, above all, a mindful presence and a little support to develop their own resources independently.
Education and experience
I am a graduate of the Academy of Special Education in Warsaw; I also studied pre-school and early-school education, as well as education for work with the courts. I have completed numerous courses, training programmes and workshops to hone my skills and gain new qualifications. For over 10 years, I have been supporting children, their families, as well as teachers and other specialists, working with nursery schools, counselling centres and institutions providing support for children and families. To date, I have provided educational, behavioural and therapeutic consultations; individual, pair, triad and small-group therapy with children; as well as workshops and training sessions for teachers and parents. My work is one of my life’s passions and a source of immense pleasure.
