For Whom

The office's offer is directed at adults who:

– experience emotional difficulties (including anxiety, sadness, tension, feelings of overwhelm), – are in a life crisis, undergoing significant changes, or dealing with loss, – want to better understand their family and partner relationships, – are interested in their personal development and seek greater self-awareness, – live in a country different from the one they come from and seek support in cultural adaptation.

The office also supports professionals in the field of psychological and social assistance, offering supervision and training aimed at deepening professional competencies.

Therapeutic Approach

The work in the office is primarily based on Gestalt therapy, understood as a dialogical meeting of two people, focused on increasing self-awareness "here and now". The process takes into account both the individual way of experiencing and the broader context of relationships and living conditions.

Psychotherapy can be combined with other modalities and methods, including working with body experience and approaches developed within contemporary Gestalt psychotherapy. The therapist ensures regular supervision of her own work and continuous professional development.

Values and Work Method

At the center of the office's work is respect for each person's individual history, their pace of change, and life choices. Responsibility, the ethics of psychotherapeutic work, and sensitivity to human rights issues and the social context of the client's functioning are emphasized.

The therapeutic relationship is understood as a joint exploration of what is happening in the client's life, what hinders their daily functioning, and what can support a better quality of life.
