About Me
I am a psychologist and psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience. I conduct individual psychotherapy for adults based on psychoanalytic concepts and the psychodynamic approach derived from them. The most important aspect in my therapeutic work is creating an atmosphere of safety, acceptance, and consideration of the value system of the people I work with, enabling a joint search for the causes of difficulties and possibilities to overcome them.
Education
- Certificate of the Polish Society for Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, no. 161. (why this matters)Having a certificate from the Polish Society for Psychodynamic Psychotherapy means that I have completed a rigorous training program and adhere to strict ethical standards. This ensures that I provide high-quality, evidence-based psychotherapy that meets the highest professional standards.
- Psychology studies at the Jagiellonian University
- 4-year postgraduate School of Psychotherapy and Youth Psychotherapy Studies at the Krakow Psychodynamic Center
- Currently undergoing 4-year psychotherapeutic training at the School of Analytical Psychotherapy in Warsaw
- Regular supervision of psychotherapeutic work with certified supervisors of PTPPd, PTPP and PTP. (why this matters)Supervision is a requirement for every psychotherapist according to the professional code of ethics, regardless of how many years of experience the therapist has. It is conducted with absolute confidentiality and anonymity, enhancing the quality of care you receive. It not only ensures adherence to ethical standards but also gives the therapist an opportunity to discuss aspects of the therapeutic process with another professional. Through this, the therapist gains fresh perspectives and insights that directly benefit your treatment.

Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a talking treatment during which you explore your inner world and unconscious processes that influence your daily functioning.
These processes involve internal conflicts, contradictory needs, and unconscious ways of reacting, often transferred from earlier experiences.
Mental health doesn't mean we're free from problems and emotions, but that in the face of difficult situations, we're able to maintain calm, thinking, and understanding.
Therefore, deepening the understanding of symptoms, working through them, changing the way of thinking and experiencing, lead to changes in functioning and give a chance for full development of personality potential and a more satisfying life.
