I chose psychology because I have always been passionate about humans’ minds. Already as a child, I was keen to observe adults interacting with each other.

I was born and raised in Poland. As a student, I had an opportunity to do a few study exchange programmes in England, Belgium, and Lithuania. These experiences have broadened my way of thinking about belonging, community, and education. In 2021, I moved to the Netherlands to pursue a dream master’s in clinical psychology at Leiden University.

I have been experiencing the expat life firsthand, which has made me more aware of different cultural challenges that we face daily, no matter where we come from and what language we speak.

I have gained my work experience during a clinical internship and while collaborating with different private practices and mental health care institutes in the Netherlands where I have been working with a wide range of individuals from different walks of life. I regularly supervise my work.
