During sessions I follow Processwork approach. Processwork is an awareness-based method, focusing on combining our inner development and living in relationship with the outside world. The sessions can include dialogue, dreamwork, role-playing, work with symptoms or conflicts and other interventions which help to unfold the client’s process. By finding insights in challenges and disturbances, they can discover new solutions to old issues and become living fuller and more in agreement with their inner self.

I hold a Diploma in Process-oriented Psychotherapy and Facilitation, awarded by Processwork UK and recognised by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), to which Code of Practice I adhere. I was awarded an MSc in Psychology by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw (MA), where I specialised in Clinical Psychology. My other qualifications include an MA in English Studies, an MBA diploma, a Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring Level 7 from the Institute of Leadership and Management and other psychotherapy and coaching-related credentials. Taking care of my further development, I participate in regular supervision and attend CPD trainings.

In Feniks I provide sessions for individuals and couples as well as deliver workshops and trainings. At times I join forces with other non-government entities to deliver social and cultural projects. In the past I worked for a number of organisations, including City of Edinburgh Council, Penumbra, Girlguiding Scotland and Edinburgh Women’s Aid. I also run a private therapy practice.

My main psychological interests cover individual development, adaptation problems, intercultural differences, crisis intervention, trauma, relationship problems, self-esteem, inner critic, stress, burn-out, work/life balance, so-called ‘middle-life crisis’ and exploration of one’s life myth. Among passions I count Processwork, Japanese art, world mythologies, travelling to remote places and wandering through the spell-binding scenery of Scotland and Ireland.
