I am a certified psychotherapist and psychotherapy supervisor as well as a licensed clinical psychologist. I have a PhD in psychology, an MA in psychology and an MA in English philology.
I specialize in psychotherapy supervision and individual and couples therapy. My approach integrates systemic therapy with attachment theory as well as clinical and developmental psychology.
Fostering development in my supervisees, patients, students and professionals is my main focus.
I have 20 years of experience, including many years as a family and individual therapist and clinical psychologist at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Warsaw.
My experience includes, among others, teaching psychology to university students and training future psychotherapists.
I also have research experience in mental health, supervision and professional development of psychotherapists. The topic of my Phd dissertation is the role of supervisory relationship in psychotherapists’ professional development.
I am a member of the Polish Psychiatric Association and the Polish Psychological Association. My work is regularly supervised by supervisors certified by those associations.
I work in Polish, English and German.
