Clinical Psychologist

I am an HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist and an experienced psychotherapist. My academic journey includes earning a PhD in Psychology, with a focus on emotional expressions. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, as well as a postgraduate diploma in Clinical Psychology for Children and Adolescents. Furthermore, I completed an intensive 4-year postgraduate program in Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy at CTPB Poland, in collaboration with the Oxford Cognitive Therapy Center.

My additional training encompasses a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, including:

Having worked with individuals from various backgrounds, I understand the nuanced challenges that may arise in different cultural contexts. My prior experience in international corporations and advertising agencies has provided me with valuable insights into the complexities of diverse work environments.

I offer both long-term and short-term psychotherapy services in English and Polish.

Central to my therapeutic and personal values is understanding my clients’ perspectives, goals, values, and beliefs. My aim is to create a safe and accepting environment.

Drawing from a diverse array of therapeutic models and techniques, I provide a tailored approach to meet the individual needs of each person, and adapt a similar perspective when working with couples.

I remain dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in psychotherapy and clinical psychology through ongoing training, research, and participation in scientific conferences.”

I work with clients who are dealing with the following difficulties:

Insurances I work with: AXA, Aviva, Cigna, Simply Health, WPA and others.
