Doctor of Health Karolina Włostowska

Online only – only online sessions available

I've always been interested in how people cope with illness, crisis, or loss—both psychologically and existentially. It was this curiosity, combined with the need to accompany people in their healing process, that led me to become a psychologist and psychotherapist.

I graduated with a master's degree in clinical psychology from SWPS University in Warsaw. I am currently completing a four-year integrative-systemic psychotherapy training program. In my work, I utilize various therapeutic approaches, combining them in a way tailored to each patient's individual needs. The most important aspect for me is engaging with the individual—their story, emotions, and potential.

I gained professional experience in many centers, including a hospice, a Mental Health Clinic, and a private practice, where I support adults in the areas of mental and emotional health.

I started working with Poles living abroad in 2024, taking on a volunteer role at the Polish Psychological Association in London – PPA. 

I undergo constant supervision of my work – both individually and in groups – by certified supervisors.

Scope of support provided

I work 1:1 in Polish. Each session lasts 50 minutes. I work with adults who experience difficulties in relationships—both maintaining them and building close bonds, especially when these become demanding or emotionally taxing. I also support individuals experiencing grief and struggling with anxiety disorders, phobias, panic attacks, stress and its aftermath, psychosomatic disorders, impulse control difficulties, depression, and various life crises.

I do not provide therapy for sexual issues, experiences of violence (sexual or domestic), or life-threatening situations. In such cases, I offer psychological consultations and support in finding appropriate specialists who can provide appropriate and safe assistance.

I base my work on mindfulness, empathy, and authentic connection. I believe that every person possesses resources within themselves that—in a safe therapeutic relationship—can become a force for change and a return to balance.

On a daily basis, I combine clinical work with research and teaching. I teach psychology classes for students in medical and social sciences, such as psychology, nursing, emergency medical services, and physiotherapy, as well as for practitioners—doctors and nurses—supporting them in developing the soft skills essential in their daily work with patients.
