<b>WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSULTATION?</b>
Individual counseling by definition of the British Association of Counseling Psychologists is: ”The specific relationship between two people, in which one person (counselor) helps another person to help themselves.”

In psychological counseling, relationships are built on the basis of respect for human dignity, cooperation, openness, honesty and equality.

A psychologist is not a guru who knows the right answers to all questions asked, not a teacher who teaches, not a girlfriend or friend who gives advice on a cup of coffee. Not a physician who decides on unilateral treatment, and the patient only has to follow the scheme proposed by the doctor.

A psychologist is a specialist who does not intend to condemn or criticize a person for her thoughts or deeds, does not know ”as best”. Instead, it allows a person to explore thoughts, emotions and behavior for a greater and deeper understanding of oneself, and the motives of his behavior or reasons for his poor health. Such a study helps to reveal its strengths and resources to rely on them, to live a more conscious and full life.

I give psychological help with:
- experience of injury, loss of a loved one;
- panic attacks;
- depressive states;
- age and existential crises;
- interpersonal conflicts;
- self-doubt;
- anxiety for health;
- social anxiety;
- obsessive thoughts and actions;
- complicated life situations.

I conduct psychodiagnostics:
