Experience
Education
I am a psychologist and sexologist in the process of certification and after completing postgraduate studies at the Department of Social and Clinical Sexology of the Institute of Psychology of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. I am still developing my professional competences, expanding my current knowledge and taking
participation in variety of trainings, self-developement practices and group workshops. I have several years of experience in individual practice and group facilitator. My work is subject to regular supervision.
I am currently training for my first year, a 4-year psychotherapeutic training in the cognitive-behavioural stream at the Cognitive Institute in Warsaw.
Areas of support
I specialize in working with neuroatypical people (ADHD and ADD, on the autism spectrum) and those experiencing difficulties in the area of own sexuality, orientation and gender identity (LGBTQ+).
I work with people experiencing chronic exhaustion, persistent anxiety, tension and difficulties in dealing with emotions. I support the process of treatment and coping with anxiety and depression disorders. I offer my support as a psychologist in a process of diagnosis of ADHD / ADD, autism spectrum. I have experience in couples therapy and I specialize in the filed of relationships among neuroatypical people. Professionally, I am interested in: neurodiversity, neuroatypicality, ADHD, autism spectrum, clinical sexology
Approach in therapeutic work
In my work, I am guided primarily by the approach of empathic understanding of the supported person. In the office, I first try to recognize and diagnose the cause of the difficulties, and then find and choose the appropriate methods of taking care of them. I follow the principle
radical acceptance of limitations and difficulties and the simultaneous search for an area of change and acquisition of coping skills. In understanding patients' problems, I am close to the Dialectical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (DBT) approach.

I have several years of extensive experience in providing individual psychological support, sexological consultations, running support groups and workshops on mental and sexual health, both with adolescents and adult patients. In the Stowarzyszenie Wzajemnej Pomocy Flandria, both in Gdynia and Poznań, I have worked with seniors and people functioning with disabilities. For few years I have been supporting and consulting victims of domestic or sexual violence, homelessness, social exclusion or people in mental health crisis at the Miejski Ośrodek Pomocy Rodzinie (Municipal Family Support Center) in Poznań.

I am a certified sex educator. I conducted meetings, webinars and workshops in this area. As a specialist, volunteer and social consultant, I took part in activities related to animation and support for local communities in Poznań
