About me

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.
