I am a psychologist and a Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) therapist. I completed 5-year full-time master's studies in psychology at the University of Warsaw and the 1st and 2nd stages of the TSR Therapist Course (Solution Focused Therapy). I am a member of the Polish Society of Solution-Focused Psychotherapy. My work is supervised.

In my work as a psychologist and short-term therapist, I focus on finding the client's strengths and resources that will help him find the inner strength to introduce beneficial changes that will ultimately lead to a happier life. During meetings, I create a safe space for the client where he can focus on building solutions and be in authentic contact with his emotions and needs. What is important to me is a therapeutic relationship based on trust, authenticity and kindness.

In Solution-Focused therapy, the client and the therapist work not so much on solving a given problem, but on building solutions (solving problems vs. creating solutions) that improve the quality of life. The therapist is an "expert" in conducting the therapeutic process, and the client is an "expert" in his or her life. Therefore, a therapeutic session is a meeting of two "experts", two partners who share a common goal - building solutions.

Being both a certified practitioner of Eastern medicine and a naturopath, I always look at the client holistically, searching with him for solutions that can be implemented in every sphere of his functioning: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
I gained professional experience in various cultural contexts. For many years I have worked as a business advisor and life and career coach, as well as with victims of violence. I had the pleasure of co-creating social and health policies and regulations in the field of human rights, including the rights of children and women, victims of violence, and disabled people, at the macro level. As an advisor to the Commissioner for Human Rights, I helped build a protection system for children and victims of violence in Afghanistan, as well as supervised the work of social workers and psychologists in helping victims of violence and people after trauma.
