Experience
“Trauma takes possession of our bodies [...] in order to make a real difference, the body has to learn that the danger has passed and it can start living in the present.” - Bassel van der Kolk.
I am a crisis intervener and psychotraumatologist.
I have over 3 years of experience working with patients as a crisis intervener and psychotraumatologist. I gathered experience while providing psychological consultations to people in crisis in one of Warsaw's mental health institutions and during my internship at the psychological and diagnostic department at IPIN in Warsaw. I work with adults (from 18 years old) I work online.Work Areas
Help in dealing with life crises, difficult situations, interpersonal and relationship problems.
I am the first contact for patients after experiencing traumatic events.Therapy Approach
I help people in crisis and after experiencing trauma. During sessions, the most important thing for me is to create a safe space where we can focus on using the other person's resources to solve the current problem. The focus of my work is on the problem causing the crisis, where the person is confronted with the crisis/trauma. I base my work on authentic contact, attentive listening and relationship building. I take a holistic approach to mental health by also looking at somatic symptoms that manifest in the client's past crises. I work holistically using a variety of sources of psychological work, also incorporating body work and learning to relax.Education
