Patrycja Tatarkiewicz

In pscychotherapeutic work, it is particularly important for me to create a safe space based on trust, authenticity and mutual respect. I believe that it is the therapeutic relationship that provides the foundation for effective help and fosters change. I am aware that diverse life experiences can be associated with difficulties, so I accompany individuals through their individual process with attentiveness and commitment. I am close to the belief that every person has inner resources for development and recovery - I treat the discovery of these resources together as an important and valuable part of therapeutic work. I work in the integrative stream, which allows me to flexibly adapt my methods to the needs of the patient, drawing from various psychotherapeutic approaches. The psychoanalytic field is closest to my heart.

I am a graduate of a unified master's degree in psychology, and am currently studying at a four-year school of psychotherapy. I have completed many courses and trainings that broaden my perspective and also give me diagnostic credentials (e.g., for autism spectrum disorders). For many years I have been working with families, and with individuals facing developmental challenges, parenting challenges, in difficulties related to experiencing severe stress, anxiety or lowered mood. I have experience in supporting LGBTQ+ people, neuroatypical people. I gained professional experience, among others, as a volunteer in non-governmental organizations supporting excluded people, children, adolescents, as well as in educational institutions.

I strive for frequent contact with nature, try to live offline, go for long walks with my dog. I am absorbed by books, various ones, but I also have my own pile of shame - such a waiting room. I like to spend time with people, I never stop being curious about other people and in solitude - because I also like to be alone with myself.
