Experience
I gained professional experience at the Clinical Department of Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (Day Unit for the Treatment of Mood and Emotional Disorders) at the University Hospital in Kraków, as well as at the Psychiatry Department of the SPZOZ in Janów Lubelski. I have experience as a university lecturer and co-authored scientific publications for the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice in the monograph “Women’s Health from an Interdisciplinary Perspective, Part 2.” I am currently undergoing a four-year psychotherapeutic training at the Kraków Psychodynamic Center.Work Areas
I am a psychologist, psychodynamic psychotherapist, and certified sexologist.
I work with adults, couples, and adolescents aged 15 and older. I also offer parental consultations for caregivers of teenagers over the age of 15.
I provide individual psychotherapy, sex therapy, couples therapy, and therapy for individuals who have experienced traumatic events. My educational background enables me to support individuals with personality difficulties, challenges in forming close and intimate relationships, as well as those experiencing a lack of meaning or purpose in life.
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology with a specialization in Clinical Psychology and Personality, as well as a Master’s degree in Pedagogy. To broaden my professional competencies and offer a holistic approach to client issues, I have also completed postgraduate studies in: sexology, couples and family therapy, psychotraumatology, psycho-oncology, health psychology, psychodietetics, and dietetics.
With my experience, I effectively support individuals struggling with sexual disorders, including sex and pornography addiction, psychosomatic symptoms, stress, and personal crises. I also help clients deal with developmental and relational trauma, as well as trauma resulting from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including sexual abuse, rape, perinatal stress, and conditions related to oncological illnesses.
I also conduct psychological assessments (online), using standardized psychological diagnostic tools and prepare written psychological reports. Psychological assessment helps identify difficulties, types of disorders, their underlying mechanisms, and evaluate psychological resources and dysfunctions. It goes beyond simply administering and scoring a test — it integrates various data sources such as interviews, observation, document analysis, behavioral tasks, projective techniques, and more. Psychological diagnosis is a complex and comprehensive process.Therapy Approach
In an environment that fosters a sense of safety and psychological comfort, I encourage clients to freely share their thoughts, fantasies, and associations—creating space for the expression of content that may be shameful or hidden in everyday life. LGBTQ+ individuals and couples can feel safe and welcomed in my practice.
During consultations, I discuss the possibilities for support and propose appropriate therapeutic approaches. Thanks to a wide range of methods I utilize, I am able to recommend the most suitable type of therapy for each individual. I work primarily within the psychodynamic framework.Education
I completed a long-cycle Master’s degree in Psychology, specializing in Clinical and Personality Psychology, as well as a Master’s degree in Pedagogy. To further enhance my professional competencies and adopt a holistic approach to my clients’ difficulties, I also completed postgraduate studies in the fields of Sexology, Family and Couples Therapy, Psychotraumatology, Psycho-oncology, Health Psychology, and Psychodietetics.Additional information
I regularly undergo supervision in my work. My goal is to improve the functioning and well-being of my clients at every stage of life. I work with adolescents from the age of 15, with parental consent.
I also offer parental consultations for caregivers of teenagers over 15 years old.
