TEAM
Magdalena Smogorzewska
I am a psychologist, therapist in comprehensive psychotherapy training, trainer, and coach.
I work with people who:
- experience anxiety, stress, or low mood that impacts their daily functioning
- face difficulties within their personal relationships, partnerships, or professional environments
- are dealing with occupational burnout
- find themselves in crisis (e.g. relationship breakdown, redundancy) or are navigating a major life transition
- encounter challenges in adjusting to new life roles, such as parenthood, relocation, or career progression
- recognise that experiences from their family of origin influence their current relationships and patterns of behaviour
- struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives
- are neurodivergent (e.g. on the autism spectrum, with ADHD or high sensitivity) and wish to better understand their inner world, emotions and needs
- explore existential questions, a sense of life’s meaning, or experiences at the intersection of psychology and spirituality that they may find hard to put into words or share elsewhere.
I offer individual sessions for adults, both in Piaseczno and online. In a workshop setting (Social Skills Training – SST), I work with children as well.
I hold a Master’s degree in Social Psychology from SWPS University, where I specialized in psychotherapeutic interventions in practice, psychoeducation, and crisis intervention. Following this, I completed postgraduate studies in pedagogical training for psychologists. I am also a certified graduate of the School of Coaches at the Jagiellonian University, as well as the Psychologist in Practice internship at the Dialog Therapy Center, and a certified Social Skills Training (SST) facilitator. Currently, I am attending a comprehensive four-year integrative psychotherapy training program at IPZ. Professional development is crucial to me, and I eagerly participate in various additional courses and trainings, such as an introduction to ACT therapy, Mindfulness, or the “Bodywork” module at the Grof Transpersonal Training.
My previous professional experience in the field of psychology has been primarily related to supporting development through individual consultations as well as workshops and trainings – both for adults (focused on communication and emotional management) and for children and adolescents (through the psychoeducation center “Psychodrabina“, on topics such as interpersonal skills, addiction prevention, and counteracting aggression and violence). At the same time, I have been developing as a therapist by leading long-term individual processes, which is now my main focus. In addition, I have worked for nearly ten years in the field of HR, which helps me to understand the specifics of the corporate environment and collaboration with business.
Psychology became my passion even before I started my studies. I approach every person individually, and in my work it is very important for me to create a welcoming space where one can be themselves, gain a deeper understanding of themselves and others, strengthen and activate their personal resources, and learn skills that are useful and supportive in everyday life.
