Clinical psychologist
Specializing in work with adult addicts, helping to start and continue recovery after starting treatment, or together with the client we are looking for a possible solution to problematic activities – the use of psychoactive substances, gambling, playing computer games, etc. Providing support to the relatives of addicts who are at a dead end between helping the addict and running out of power, anger, fear, guilt, shame and helplessness.
Also provide support to clients with various types of psychological difficulties – depression, anxiety, eating disorders, long-term grief, difficulties in building and maintaining relationships, violence and traumatic experiences, the consequences of which make it difficult to live a full life.
In the work I create an individual approach to each client, based on cognitive-behavioral techniques and guidelines of existential and analytical psychology.
