My approach
My primary aim is to help clients develop an objective framework for understanding their mental health challenges while cultivating skills that enhance their well-being and empower them to address future problems independently. Recognizing that each therapeutic relationship and change process is unique, I adopt a flexible and eclectic approach to provide effective, individualized support.
I draw upon a diverse range of therapeutic methods and psychological tools. These include cognitive behavioral therapy, compassion-focused therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, chairwork, emotion-focused practices, and other evidence-based techniques.

Educational background
I received a Master's degree in clinical psychology and neuropsychology. During my studies, I worked for two years as a research assistant at the Laboratory of Neuropsychology of the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Warsaw. I also completed several clinical internships, such as the Warsaw Central Clinical Hospital and the Warsaw Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology. After my studies, I worked as a clinical psychologist and research assistant at the Warsaw Medical Centre for Postgraduate Education.
I obtained my therapist's license after completing a four-year postgraduate training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at the Warsaw University of Social Sciences and Humanities, accredited by the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies.
I have also completed a 1-year postgraduate diploma in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) at The Compassionate Mind Foundation, organized by the founder of CFT, Paul Gilbert, and accredited by the British Psychological Society.
In addition, I’m a board member of the Mindfulness Development Foundation, which conducts teacher training in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) together with The Oxford Mindfulness Foundation (OMF) based at the University of Oxford. I completed OMF’s MBCT teacher training,g and I’m currently in the final certification process.
I have worked in a private practice since 2018.
My involvement with Effective Altruism
When I discovered Effective Altruism (EA) in 2013, I felt elated because I had finally found like-minded people who saw and cared about all the suffering in this world. Not only that, but they also put great effort into finding the most effective ways to do good – even if the interventions seemed weird or complicated.
However, discovering EA was also disheartening at first because I didn’t have the skills to pursue the highest impact career paths like AI alignment research, global priorities research, or trading for earning to give. I dabbled a bit in direct work – for example, I co-founded EA Poland and volunteered for EA organizations such as the Effective Altruism Foundation – but it never looked like I was making a big difference. For a long time, I was uncertain about my career choice, which was stressful and guilt-inducing.
Fortunately, in the last few years, I’ve found what appears to be the right career path for me.
I’ve always been interested in psychology, especially the psychology of decision-making, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, clinical psychology, and psychotherapy. I can’t imagine what could be more fulfilling than making other people feel and do good better.
