Psychologist
I am a certified psychologist working in the fields of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I have a master's degree in psychology (University of Wrocław) and a master's degree in philosophy (University of Wrocław). I am currently attending a 4-year course in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy at the CBT EDU school, accredited by PTTPB*.
In my work, I only use methods which are scientifically proven. I put a lot of focus on careful observation of thoughts, emotions, behaviours and their interactions. This allows to see problematic patterns and understand specific difficulties. All in order to consciously introduce the desired changes, that lead to better life.
I approach every client with empathy, attention and acceptance, striving to create a relationship based on trust. I avoid making simple diagnoses, as I'm aware that each person has their own individual story to tell.
I believe that the goal of therapy is not only to reduce suffering, but also to build lasting skills that allow freedom in choosing a life in accordance with personal values. In this context, I often refer to my philosophical background and ideas presented in existentialism, stoicism and Eastern traditions.
Trying to provide help, I always remember about biological foundations of functioning, especially in the context of stress and changing detrimental habits. During sessions, I often use relaxation techniques and mindfulness exercises that help reduce tension and increase self-awareness.
