mgr Anna Pędzieszczak Owczarczyk

I am a psychologist and completed many therapeutic courses. I am a member of Polish Psychiatric Association, have been certified in 2015 by the International Coaching Federation (on PCC level).

Within the framework of individual psychological support and therapy I most often support adults who are searching for their purpose in life, who are under stress, experiencing sadness, anxiety, feeling the risk of burnout, who have a sense of stuck decision-making, frustration, experiencing difficulties in expressing their needs and defining boundaries, who want to lead a more satisfying life. I also work with individuals who are facing difficult life choices, want to rebuild and strengthen their sense of self-worth, feel at peace, strive to build close and authentic relationships with other people, want to develop their communication skills, begin a new relationship, or acclimate to a new environment.

I provide therapeutic processes for couples who want to develop/strengthen their relationship, improve communication in the relationship, define the cause of difficulties and re-build a strategy for being together on mutually meaningful terms. Sometimes in couples therapy we aim at strengthening closeness, trust and love, other times it may be about developing mutual support.

My method of work is based primarily on the approach of Dr. Milton H. Erickson, who had a talent for recognizing the individuality and resources of his patients. He was able to work comprehensively - we can say that he created the therapy anew for each patient, seeking together with him the most effective and fastest method of support. Working in the Ericksonian method, we focus mainly on the current state and what the client would like to achieve and change in the future. We also focus on the resources and capabilities of the client. We look for his/her strengths, what he/she can already do, potential, life mission and goals. We assume that each person is unique and unrepeatable, and diversity builds experience and enriches.

I work as a coach for individuals and teams, cooperate with many companies and industries (FMCG, B2B, Finance, Hygienic, Medical and Pharmaceutical companies). I have over 14 years’ experience in leading individual coaching processes for line managers and top management - conducted above 3000 hours of an individual coaching and 4500 hours of training and team coaching for groups. I led coaching processes and taught coaching in Poland, Czech Republic, South Africa, Germany, Russia, Nederland, Sweden and France. I am a mentor-coach for coaches who aspire for an accreditation in the ICF. I am a supervisor for leaders who want to develop their coaching and leadership skills. I am also experienced in team coaching sessions: closely cooperate with managers within the scope of analyzing team dysfunctions and potential, strategy for empowering and developing employees.

Before opening my coaching and training business I worked as an HR Manager in a global, international company with many different departments: Board of Management, marketing, sales, customer service and production. I have also worked across Eastern Europe and implemented a lot of educative projects: communication, cooperation and leadership skills development.
