I am a psychologist, psychotraumatologist, certified EMDR therapist and ecotherapist. I help people who experience disorders as a result of traumatic experiences.
My methods
I work in a psychotraumatological approach, taking into account the knowledge of how the nervous system works after traumatic experiences. Depending on the patient’s symptoms, I flexibly use the techniques and protocols of various evidence-based therapies:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy,
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT),
- Prolonged Exposure (PE) Procedure,
- Trauma Informed Stabilisation Treatment (TIST),
- 3rd wave CBT: Elements of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Ecopsychotherapy, forest bathing, mindfulness training
I work with adults and young people from the age of 16.
I offer sessions in Polish and English.
I do not work with couples or families (individual therapy only).
Inclusivity: Persons who belong to the groups at risk of discrimination and exclusion (including LGBTQIA+, people of deep faith, people with refugee experience, addictions, disabilities, chronic illnesses other minorities) can feel respected and safe in my office.
Education
I am a graduate in cognitive science and psychology at the Jagiellonian University, a postgraduate in Psychotraumatology at the SWPS University and a PhD student at the Warsaw School of Science and Biomedical Sciences in the field of Neurobiology. I have attended multiple specialization courses in psychotherapy methods for mental disorders, trauma and addiction treatment (see the scans of my certificates below). I completed a two-level basic training in the EMDR approach and a certification in Ecopsychology and Ecotherapy.
Experience
I gained experience in the Dr. Józef Babiński Clinical Hospital in Krakow, the Holistic Therapy and Rehabilitation Centre PERON 8, the Psycho-Education Foundation, the Muslim Cultural Centre in Warsaw and with a grassroots movement for climate justice Extinction Rebellion. I currently run the Pełnia Therapy Practice and work with the CBTherapy Psychotherapy Centre in Mokotow, Warsaw. I also work at the Brain Imaging Laboratory of IBD PAN, and my research and popularisation work is on neuroimaging emotions related to climate change. I am an academic lecturer at SWPS University.
I regularly supervise my work with a PTTEMDR certified supervisor. I am a member of the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation, the European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies and the Polish Society for EMDR Therapy.
