Accredited Clinical Psychologist
Available for new clients
For me, therapy is a space to breathe, feel and rediscover yourself.
It's a relationship where we allow ourselves to be and find who we truly are.
A space for pain, but also for laughter, silence and discovery.

About me
As a clinical psychologist, I support individuals dealing with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, and various forms of conflict, as well as those seeking personal growth and self-discovery. I also work with people facing the challenge of adapting to a new culture, a process with which I am intimately familiar from my own experience.
In 6 years of my experience I have worked in diverse international contexts with vulnerable people in individual and group sessions, workshops, and crisis interventions. Today, I bring this experience to my therapeutic practice, which is centred on the individual and allows for active listening and presence, without haste or judgement.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
Psychedelic integration therapyRecommended for those who have had psychedelic experiences and want help understanding and integrating the insights into their everyday life for personal growth and self-discovery.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
I am drawn to approaches such as Somatic Psychotherapy, IFS, Coherence Therapy, Person-Centred Psychotherapy, and trauma-focused practices. I believe in therapy that embraces human complexity and helps give voice to the unspoken.
I am currently finishing my first year of Person-Centred psychotherapy training and am also completing training in Coherence Therapy.
Experience
I completed my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology in June 2018 and subsequently began my career as an intern at a Psychiatric Hospital in Poland. My initial professional experience involved working with children and individuals with both mental and physical disabilities.
In 2019, I relocated to Portugal to join the social sector at Associação CRESCER. I worked as a psychologist with the organization from August 2019 to August 2022, contributing to the É UMA CASA project – Lisboa Housing First, an initiative focused on the reintegration of people in homeless situation into the community.
Since September 2022, I have been involved in the Trust & Safety project, where I provide therapy for clients across various countries. My responsibilities include conducting therapy sessions, designing and facilitating workshops, and managing emergency situations.
Since October 2024, I am working exclusively in private practice.
Education
I am currently undertaking the first year of the Person-Centred Psychotherapy School and undergoing training in Coherence Therapy.
I am a motivational interviewing coach with PIDM (Polski Instytut Dialogu Motywującego) and completed my undergraduate and postgraduate clinical psychology degrees at the University of Opole in 2018.
In 2023, I completed the Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) training programme (five basic modules from Polaris).
