Psychology and helping others has been a part of my life for many years. I have always been interested in human psyche and behaviour. I wanted to explore how our mind works in order to understand ways in which we are similar and in which we differ from each other. I spent several years at university studying human mind and learning process still continues. I am also grateful I can now pass on my knowledge to psychology students. In addition to my formal education, I have gained a valuable experience when working with children with autism and their parents, people struggling with addictions and/or depression, anxiety, eating disorders, or gambling. Professional as well as personal interactions with children, young people and their families inspired me to pursue a career as a counsellor. I help my clients to understand that it is not what has happened to them in their lives, but the manner in which they react to these events matter. We cannot really stop things happening but we have a CHOICE how to respond to them. As a scientist, I believe in effectiveness of evidence-based practices (e.g. cognitive behavioural therapy, cognitive-behavioural hypnotherapy) and I used them in my approach to people I work with.
