Introduction

Welcome! I specialize in working with children and young people but also work with adults and couples. I am a school counsellor so children/teen issues are familiar to me.

My experience

I work in a school in a counselling role where I work with children from the age of 4. I run private practice “Standing By Your Side Counselling”.

My education

I graduated Academy of Special Pedagogy (APS) in Warsaw. I have gained my Counselling Diploma at Maple Leaf Counselling Centre.
