Paulina Szczemczak
I am a child psychologist and an educationalist.
About me
In my work with children, I combine a relational-developmental approach with a behavioural approach. I want the child to feel safe and comfortable, and to enjoy their time whilst acquiring new skills. Play is a very important part of working with young children for me. In my therapeutic work, I draw on empathy and acceptance, active listening and a genuine curiosity about others. I am committed to creating an atmosphere where there is room for trust and a sense of security, which I see as the foundation for further therapeutic interventions. I specialise in working with people on the autism spectrum and those diagnosed with ADHD; I also work on children’s psychosexual development.
Education and experience
I graduated in special educational needs from UMCS in Lublin and in psychology from the WSEI Academy in Lublin. I gained my professional experience working in special and inclusive nurseries, as well as through one-to-one work with children on the autism spectrum and their parents.
