Get to Know Me
Polish online psychotherapy
Self-change is a process that requires patience and openness. I believe that every change offers the opportunity to discover our true nature, and true change occurs when we are able to accept ourselves,understand our emotions, and recognize what needs to be changed. Every experience, even the difficult ones, can teach us something and bring us closer to ourselves, as long as we approach it with the right mindfulness and support.
In my work with clients, I rely on the understanding that trauma is an inherent part of the human experience. According to Gabor Mate'stheory, trauma is anything that causes deep suffering and disrupts a person’s sense of integrity – not just extreme situations, but also everyday challenges such as neglect, the loss of loved ones, or mistreatment. The effects of trauma can manifest in various ways – addiction, anxiety, depression, pain disorders, or sleep problems. I work with individuals who are dealing with these experiences, keeping in mind that every trauma leaves a lasting impact on our emotional well-being, which requires attention and healing.
I uphold a high standard of professionalism in my work by regularly engaging in supervision and participating in activities that enhance my practice. I have completed in-depth psychotherapy training in the Ericksonian-systemic approach, which prepares me for certification. Polish Psychology Association (PTP) and Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA)Membership in these organizations reflects my commitment to providing professional, ethical, and compassionate psychological support.
I also hold a degree in psychology and pedagogy. However, I continuously invest in my personal development — exploring the connections between the body, mind, and spirit.
I am also a great nature enthusiast, constantly discovering its beneficial effects on mental and physical well-being.
I offer online psychotherapy in Polish and English, supporting the Polish community in Canada as well as individuals living in Vancouver and around the world.
My Therapeutic Methods
I use a holistic approach in my work, drawing on several key methods to adapt the process to each client’s unique needs.
The Therapeutic Relationship
For me, trust and safety are at the heart of the therapeutic process. The connection I build with each client becomes more than a space for working through emotions — it reflects their other relationships and offers a chance to see them from a fresh, more compassionate perspective.
Therapeutic and Coaching Techniques
W swojej pracy bazuje na technikach wywodzących się z psychoterapii systemowo-eriksonowskiej, łączę je z technikami psychoterapii poznawczo-behawioralnej oraz gestalt. Wykorzystuje techniki pracy z traumą, wywodzące się z terapii uzależnień oraz coachingu.
Szczególnie bliskie jest mi podejście IFS (Internal Family Systems), w którym zostałam przeszkolona i w którym czuję się bardzo swobodnie. Praca w tym nurcie pozwala w bezpieczny i uważny sposób przyglądać się wewnętrznym częściom, które kształtują nasze emocje, reakcje i relacje.
Dobieram metody indywidualnie, z myślą o potrzebach konkretnej osoby. Dzięki temu mogę skutecznie wspierać klientów w przepracowywaniu trudnych emocji, zmianie przekonań oraz w wypracowywaniu nowych, bardziej wspierających sposobów reagowania na wyzwania życiowe.
Somatic Work and Mindfulness
The body and mind are deeply interconnected. Often, it is the body that sends us signals indicating that something within us needs to change. I incorporate techniques that involve body awareness, breathwork, mindfulness, and visualization to help clients restore balance between these two dimensions and become more attuned to the subtle messages that may point to a need for change.
Acceptance as a Path to Growth
My goal is to create a space where clients can safely explore themselves, face difficult emotions, and develop new skills. I believe that everyone has the potential to change, and the path to that change can take many forms — some easier, some more challenging. My role is to support clients in discovering who they truly are and recognizing the inner resources they already have to make meaningful change."
Energy Work
For those open to such experiences, I also offer energy work. I support clients in discovering and developing their inner resources, helping them accept what needs to be accepted, so they can fully realize their potential.
Natalia
What was absolutely unique for me was the fact that you believed in me more than I ever believed in myself.
The focus wasn’t on fixing me, but on discovering what was already good and beautiful within me — so that I could see and feel it for myself, and so that it could carry me forward in life.
I will be forever grateful that you were part of my journey.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Justyna.
Trusted specialists who share the same values as I do:
I believe that the healing process is more complete when it integrates different perspectives — which is why I collaborate with people who share similar values and mindfulness in their work with others. I am pleased to recommend working with Joanna Stasiak, a psychologist who uses Emotion Code®, Body Code™, and Belief Code® methods — supporting the release of emotional blocks and the restoration of inner balance.
