I am a certified teacher of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), trained extensively in both adult and children’s mindfulness methodologies, including the Eline Snel© method. I am also a graduate of the Mindful Schools Educators Essentials course for children’s mindfulness.
My academic background features postgraduate studies in Mindfulness and Compassion at SWPS University, alongside advanced MBCT and MBCT-L training from the Mindfulness Development Foundation in Poland and The Oxford Mindfulness Centre in the UK. In addition to mindfulness, I completed IFS Therapy Level 1 and 2 training and postgraduate studies in Nonviolent Communication as established by Marshall B. Rosenberg at Collegium Civitas in Warsaw, Poland. I practice Tai Chi and Qigong, integrating these disciplines into my therapeutic approach which emphasizes kind communication, mindful movement, and harmonious energy flow.
My professional practice is fundamentally rooted in over 20 years of personal experience with ADHD, high sensitivity, trauma, and other health challenges. This personal journey has equipped me with unique insights and effective strategies, honed through my own therapeutic processes including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), MBCT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), which I now leverage to assist others.
As a mindfulness teacher, I conduct MBCT and MBCT-L trainings, as well as specialized mindfulness courses for adults with ADHD, emphasizing the importance of embracing the present moment with kindness and acceptance. These courses provide both theoretical and practical tools for participants to embark on or deepen their mindfulness practices, enhancing their ability to live in harmony with themselves.
I utilize primarily MBCT and IFS therapy in my therapeutic work, complemented by various other evidence-based methods and somatic techniques. My services, including group workshops, individual therapy sessions, and mindfulness trainings, are available both onsite in Warsaw, Poland, and online, catering to a diverse client base seeking support and personal growth.
