Im psychodynamic and humanistic therapist and counsellor, pedagog, manual therapist , aromatherapist.
I graduated from Jagiellonian University (Master`s Degree in Pedagogy), earned Postgraduate Diploma
in Psychodynamic Counselling, and Certificate in Humanistic Counselling, Goldsmiths College,
University of London. Psychodynamic counseling shares the same core principles as psychodynamic
therapy but this process tends to be quick and solution-focused (6-30 sessions). As a psychodynamic
counselor I am an active advocate of change rather than a neutral observer. I work with wide range of
problems, my specialities being relationship issues, cross-cultural differences, working with addictions.

WHAT IS PSYCHODYNAMIC COUNSELLING

Psychodynamic counselling is a therapeutic approach that combines parts of many different types of
analytic therapies. Psychoanalytical and psychodynamic therapies work on the idea that each individual’s
unconscious thoughts and perceptions are developed throughout their childhood. These unconscious
thoughts and perceptions affect their current behaviours and thoughts.
Since the 1950s, a more intense, short-term form of psychodynamic therapy has emerged. Like
psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy, the aim of psychodynamic counselling is to bring the
unconscious mind into consciousness. This means helping you to recognise, experience, and understand
your true, deep-rooted feelings, in order to help you resolve them. Based on the idea that our
unconscious holds onto painful feelings and memories, psychodynamic therapy believes these are too
difficult for your conscious mind to process.
In order to ensure these memories and experiences stay below the surface, many people will develop
defences, such as denial and projections. According to psychodynamic therapy, these defences will often
do more harm than good.
