Hi, my name is Karolina Dziekan

Karolina Dziekan

Psychologist

Let's get to know each other

In my professional path I am fulfilled as psychologist supporting families with children nursery, pre-school and early school age.

I help parents with doubts about their child's development and who feel they are finding it difficult in being mum_dad. Together we look for ideas on how to get back into parenting balance.

When accompanying parents and children, I draw on knowledge from the field of developmental neuropsychology, elements of Solution Focused Therapy, Nonviolent Communication and Intimate Parenting. Pillars such as the relationship, communication, emotions, the needs of the child and the needs of the parent are important to me.

Patients:

I welcome families with children from 0 to 9 years of age.

What difficulties you can approach me with:

adaptation of children to institutions
attendance crises and relationship difficulties with peers and educators in the nursery/preschool/school
parent-child communication
difficult emotions and difficult behaviour of children
change (move, separation of parents, illness, change of institution, death of a loved one)
anxiety and tension
parent's boundaries and child's boundaries
wetting, habitual constipation
eating disorders
children's sexuality
highly vulnerable children
children with symptoms of shyness
children with symptoms of low self-esteem
parental discrepancies
parental burnout

Specialisations:

I completed the School of Consultation for Psychologists and Professionals with Agnieszka Stein and Małgorzata Stańczyk (two editions). I am a specialist with tools, methodology and knowledge in the area of conducting consultations in the field of parenting and relationships with children.
I have completed the TSR Kids' Skills course - this is a solution-focused therapeutic approach that is dedicated to working with children. The method is based on supporting children to develop skills to cope with different challenges, by turning problems into skills to be gained.

Education and training:

I have a master's degree in psychology with a specialisation in clinical psychology (SWPS University) and a postgraduate degree in psychological diagnosis in clinical practice (SWPS University).

I have participated in courses and trainings in the field of developmental psychology, methods of working with children, early intervention and mental health of young children, among others at the Institute of Mother and Child and the Academic Centre for Psychotherapy and Development at SWPS University.

I took my first steps in supporting parents and children during my internship at the Clinic for Bone Marrow Transplantation, Haematology and Paediatric Oncology in Wrocław and at the Academic Centre for Psychotherapy and Psychological Counselling at SWPS University.
