Schema Therapy and EMDR

I am a psychologist and a certified cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist (1182) with clinical experience gained in both Poland and Australia. I provide individual psychotherapy consultations utilising Schema Therapy and EMDR techniques and personal development workshops. 

In addition to running a private psychotherapy practice in Gdansk since 2020 (formerly Przystanek Po-MOC), I have worked clinically in a private practice called Laburnum Psychology in Melbourne, Australia. In Poland, I had gained professional experience working at the Mental Health Outpatient Clinic in the Non-Public Health Care Facility "Przychodnia Morena" in Gdansk (from 2020-2022). Moreover, I worked with adolescents at the Center for Community Psychological and Psychotherapeutic Care for Children and Adolescents in NZOZ Rumia. I cooperated for many years with the Center for Women's Rights, where I conducted individual psychological consultations and short-term psychotherapy. I also gained clinical experience at the Prof. Tadeusz Bilikiewicz Regional Psychiatric Hospital in Gdansk, as well as at the Gdansk Center for Addiction Prevention.

I have a deep understanding of various cultural backgrounds and ranges of implications for mental health practice, which I developed working both in Gdańsk with expats living in Poland and in Australia. Regarding the latter, one of the core competencies required by AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) was working with people from diverse groups. Through years of clinical practice, I have continued to gain experience in working with multicultural clients who have experienced trauma both in adulthood and early childhood (including sexual trauma), difficulties in coping with stress, interpersonal relationships, with adaptive disorders, disturbed self-esteem, anxiety problems depression and disorders of self-perception.
