Psychological counseling
Sometimes we need someone to remind us to look at the big picture instead of fixating on just one detail.
(according to N. Peseschkian)
Does this sound familiar to you?
- You sometimes feel overwhelmed, exhausted, insecure, and don’t know how to go on like this.
- You have difficulty making decisions.
- Conflicts overwhelm you.
- You’re at a point in your life where you don’t know which direction to take.
- Do you need someone to listen?
Then I invite you to explore together how you can lead a more fulfilling life despite the difficulties.

Consultant of Positive Psychotherapy
About Me
I am a certified consultant in Positive Psychotherapy and a member of the World Association for Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy (WAPP) - https://www.positum.org/.
Currently, I am at the end of my second year of a comprehensive training in Positive Pyschotherapy at the Institute of Psychotherapy in Poland (Wrocław), which concludes with a recognized European certificate.
I have a strong interest in psychological topics, particularly mindfulness, resilience, and stress management. In my free time, I read and listen extensively on these subjects.
I also love my family, nature, good food, laughter, and philosophizing about life.
A very important tool in the counseling/therapeutic field is supervision. To ensure the quality of my work, I am in a regular exchange with experienced PPT supervisors.
Why did I choose this profession?
I am deeply moved by people and their stories. Every individual carries a unique life journey, and understanding these experiences is something I truly care about. Supporting others as they face challenges and helping them unfold their potential is something that gives me great meaning and fulfillment.
Why Positive Psychotherapy?
Choosing the path of Positive Psychotherapy was a carefully considered step in my professional journey. I was especially drawn to its humanistic approach, which sees each person as a whole and values their uniqueness. It was important to me to pursue a well-founded, evidence-based training that would equip me with the tools to support people through difficult times—while helping them access their strengths and inner resources.
A few information about my career path
During my studies, I gained extensive knowledge in the fields of interpersonal communication, language development, multilingualism, as well as psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics. Based on this expertise, I designed and conducted workshops and seminars for educational teams and parents to provide practical and well-founded insights into these topics.
I have experience in therapeutic work with multilingual children who face language development difficulties.
I also gained experience working with patients during my clinical internship on the general psychiatry ward at a psychiatric clinic in Angermünde, Germany.
My work experience in multicultural environments, along with my language skills in German, Polish, and English, allows me to communicate flexibly in various languages.

What is Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy?
The compass of my therapeutic approach:
The Three Main Principles of Positive Psychotherapy
1. The principle of hope
"We look beyond just the painful parts of the problem."
2. The principle of balance
"What’s missing? What’s too much? What wants to grow?"
Despite individual uniqueness and socio-cultural differences, it is evident that people tend to rely on similar strategies when solving their problems. Recognizing these strategies leads to restoring balance among the four qualities of life: Body/Health, Achievement/Work, Contact/Relationships, Future/Purpose/Meaning of Life.
3. The principle of consultation
"Empowerment"
Counseling and self-help are closely interconnected in the five phases of Positive Psychotherapy—from observation to the expansion of goals. An important part of Positive Psychotherapy is psychoeducation, as it empowers individuals to enhance their self-efficacy.

Feeling off, but don’t know why?
Sometimes it’s not about one big problem—it’s about many small imbalances.
Psychological Counseling - important information:
- The counseling takes place online*.
- The initial consultation is for mutual acquaintance and is free of charge.
- The subsequent counseling sessions last 50 minutes each (we will agree on the costs during the initial consultation).
- I will coordinate the scope and process of the counseling with you based on your personal needs.
*For individuals from Berlin and the surrounding area, I also offer the option to arrange sessions in person in Berlin or Neuenhagen (the initial consultation will still take place online).
Note:
In cases of severe crises or acute suicidality, contact with a psychiatrist or a local licensed psychotherapist is essential. In urgent emergencies, you can reach the medical on-call service of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians at the number 116117 (Germany).
