Training, projects, consultations
My work focuses on three key areas that I have developed over the years. These experiences, have enriched my understanding and skills, creating a solid foundation for my work as a therapist.
Let me tell you exactly what I mean....
BUSINESS
I began my business journey during my first year at university – I noticed a need within my community, acted on it, and opened a small photocopying point. Over time, I developed a network of service points across several universities in Białystok. This was just the beginning of my path into entrepreneurship.
In the following years, I climbed the career ladder – starting as a sales representative, progressing to manager, and eventually becoming Sales Director at corporations such as Nestlé, Auchan, Unicom, and MK Café & Tea.
In 2000, I graduated with a degree in Business Consulting from the WSB University in Poznań. Later, in 2009, I applied for a role at Rowlands Pharmacy in Birmingham. The recruitment process took less than 40 minutes – the time it took me to complete a knowledge test designed for a six-month training programme.
PEDAGOGY
I hold a degree in Pedagogy and Psychology from the University of Warsaw. Shortly after graduating, I had the opportunity to work as a teacher in a private primary school, in an inclusive classroom, supporting children facing various health-related challenges.
In 2018, my husband and I decided to expand our family. We successfully went through the application process for the Fostering Programme, and our home was filled with new energy. Our foster son is a talented young boy, and Justyna – now a young woman with a big heart – is currently studying veterinary medicine and visits us whenever she can. jest zdolnym chłopcem, a Justyna – jest już kobietą o wielkim sercu, która aktualnie studiuje weterynarię i odwiedza nas gdy tylko ma wolną przestrzeń.
During this period, I also worked at the Polish School in Birmingham as a teacher for integrated years 6–7.
PSYCHOLOGY
In 2000, I moved to the United States, where I spent a year and a half caring for children with autism. It was during this time that I realised my earlier studies in clinical psychology had set me on the right path.
Soon after, I moved to Birmingham. Alongside my role as a pharmacy technician, I began teaching English – many of these sessions often evolved into informal consulting conversations...
I worked as a psychotherapist at the Polish Medical Centre for over six years, gaining valuable experience and shaping my therapeutic identity. In 2016, I made the decision to open my own private practice, which I continue to run from my home today.
I completed my studies in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in 2005, in Kraków.
