My name is Monika Tarnowska. I hold a master’s degree and a doctorate in psychology, and I am also a certified psychotherapist and supervisor in the process of certification by the Polish Humanistic-Experiential Association.

I work therapeutically with children, adolescents, and adults. In my therapeutic work, I focus on supporting clients in coping with intense negative emotions and building satisfying relationships with others. I conduct diagnostic consultations, individual psychotherapy, as well as parenting consultations and EFST (Emotion Focused Skills Training) workshops for parents and teachers.

I help people suffering from:

• difficulties in relationships, negative self-esteem, and difficulties in motivation,
• low mood, dysthymia, and depression,
• increased tension/stress manifested by anxiety, worry, and/or excessive irritability/anger outbursts.

I have experience in therapeutic work with:

• neurodivergent individuals (diagnosed with ADHD, ASD, and gifted individuals),
• individuals who were raised/lived in more than one culture.

I work under regular supervision provided:

• by Polish and foreign experts in the field of humanistic-experiential and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy
• in the form of individual and group meetings (within the therapeutic teams to which I belong).

My therapeutic practice is based on the humanistic-experiential approach (mainly EFT – Emotion Focused Therapy: EFT-I – individual EFT work, including EFT-Y – EFT work with children and adolescents, as well as EFST, Emotion Focused Skills Training – an approach that is part of EFT-F, i.e. EFT work with families, focusing on therapeutic work with parents for the benefit of their children), which I integrate with the cognitive-behavioral approach, tailoring my work to the needs and preferences of the client.
