Olga Markowska
I am a child and adolescent psychologist and a child assessor
About me
When working with young patients, I believe it is important to take a holistic and individualised approach to their difficulties. As a psychologist, speech and language therapist and sensory integration therapist, I am able to view their problems from a broader perspective. I believe that working with a child should always go hand in hand with working with the family. I believe that the family system can change by drawing on the family’s resources, which always hold enormous potential.
Education and experience
I am a graduate of the University of Warsaw, Faculty of Psychology, specialising in child clinical psychology. I completed a degree in speech and language therapy at the Academy of Special Education, as well as a course in Early Childhood Development Support, also at the Academy of Special Education.
I have completed Level I and II training in sensory integration therapy and assessment. I have completed Level I training in solution-focused therapy and am a practitioner of the Kids’ Skills Method. For many years, I have been involved in the assessment, therapy and early intervention for children aged 0–7. I frequently work with children on the autism spectrum, those with aphasia and those with motor disabilities. The Kids’ Skills Method, which I use in my work with children from 3 to 12 years of age, as well as with parents and carers, is useful in overcoming problems such as: aggression and tantrums, bad habits, problems with eating, sleeping or toilet training, concentration difficulties and inappropriate behaviour.
