English‑speaking psychologist in Poland - online sessions
I help people gain personal insights, clarify goals, overcome blocks, build confidence, and reduce health‑related anxiety - with individualized strategies that are practical and structured.
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, please contact local emergency services (112) or your nearest crisis center.
You may be experiencing
- Persistent worry about your health that won't go away
- Difficulty sleeping - racing thoughts, exhaustion that doesn't ease
- Feeling stuck in a cycle of stress, avoidance, or overthinking
- A sense that something is wrong, but you can't quite name it
- Emotional exhaustion from navigating life in a foreign country
- Loss of confidence, motivation, or direction after a major change
Many expats and international professionals push through these feelings alone. But the fact that you are reading this page means something has shifted.
Challenges specific to expats & international clients
Language & emotional expression
Trying to describe how you feel in a second language can feel frustrating. Important emotions get lost in translation - or never expressed at all.
Cultural isolation
Living far from family, old friends, and familiar routines can amplify loneliness, anxiety, and self-doubt - even when life looks fine from the outside.
Identity shifts
Relocation changes people. The person you were before may not feel like the person you are now - and that can be confusing and disorienting.
Healthcare navigation
Finding the right support in a foreign system is exhausting. Many expats delay seeking help simply because of the language and bureaucratic barriers.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Psychological support is not about being broken.
It's about gaining clarity, finding tools, and building resilience - with someone who listens without judgment.
What happens in the first session
We start with your story
You share what brought you here, what feels most pressing, and what you hope to gain. There is no right or wrong way to begin.
I listen and ask questions
My goal is to understand what is happening beneath the surface - the patterns, the triggers, and the emotions that drive the difficulties you experience.
We identify a direction
By the end of the first meeting, we'll have a clearer picture of what is going on and whether continuing makes sense. There is no pressure to commit.
Common concerns before the first session
- You won't be judged or put on the spot
- You don't need to prepare anything specific
- It's okay if you're unsure whether you need a psychologist
- Everything discussed is strictly confidential
- One session does not mean you're committed to a process
How sessions work
Clear structure, calm pace, and practical steps. The goal is clarity, relief, and progress you can sustain.
Clarify the situation
We identify what matters most right now and what keeps the problem going.
Choose a direction
We set priorities and a realistic plan aligned with your capacity and goals.
Individualized strategies
Tools tailored to you: stress regulation, cognitive strategies, sleep support, and trauma‑informed work.
Regular evaluation
We check in on progress and adjust direction as needed. No open-ended commitments.
Sessions may be short-term (a focused issue) or longer-term (deeper patterns). We decide together.
Areas of support
I focus on work that is grounded, evidence‑informed, and adjusted to your needs.
Health‑related traumatic stress & health anxiety
Support for people living with health pain, worry about symptoms, and health‑related stress.
Trauma, stress & regulation
Trauma‑informed work focused on safety, stabilization, and nervous system regulation.
Insomnia & sleep support
Practical CBT‑I strategies to reduce hyperarousal and improve sleep routines.
Anxiety & overthinking
Reducing spirals, building clarity, strengthening confidence and coping skills.
Life transitions & expat adjustment
Moving countries, relationship changes, work stress, identity shifts - with grounded support tailored to the expat experience.
Emotional pain & burnout
Helping you process difficult feelings, restore steadiness, and rebuild self‑trust when everything feels overwhelming.
From people who have been here
I had been carrying health anxiety for years and never found someone who actually understood. After working with Marta, I finally feel like I have tools - and hope.
Moving to Poland was harder than I expected. The sessions gave me a space to process everything I couldn't explain to friends or family back home.
I appreciate the structure and the calm approach. No pressure, no rush - just thoughtful questions and practical strategies I could use right away.
Honest expectations
This may be helpful if
- You want to understand what's happening and gain clarity
- You're willing to reflect - even when it's uncomfortable
- You're looking for practical strategies, not just talk
- You feel stuck in a pattern you can't break on your own
- You want a professional, structured space to work through difficulties
This may not be suitable if
- You need immediate crisis intervention or psychiatric care
- You're looking for medication management
- You want someone to tell you what to do
- You're not ready to engage in the process
Who you'll be working with
I'm a psychologist with a master's degree from SWPS University. I work with individuals who are navigating stress, health anxiety, trauma, sleep difficulties, and the emotional challenges that come with life transitions - especially in the context of living abroad.
At the core of my practice:
- Calm, structured sessions with a clear direction
- Practical strategies you can use between meetings
- Evidence-informed, individualized approach
- Confidentiality, ethics, and clear boundaries
- Regular supervision to ensure quality of support

Why psychological support in English in Poland
When you describe vulnerability, fear, or emotional pain, language matters. Working in your native or most fluent language removes a layer of friction and allows you to express yourself more precisely.
Emotions don't translate well
Many expats find that switching to a second language during sessions creates distance from their actual feelings. If English is the language you think and feel in - it should also be the language you work through difficulties in.
Cultural context matters
A psychologist who understands life as an expat in Poland can bridge the gap between cultures without making assumptions. This is especially important for international professionals navigating unfamiliar systems and social norms.
Accessibility for expats
Finding a qualified psychologist who works in English in Poland is not easy. Many expats delay seeking help simply because of the language barrier. This service exists to remove that obstacle.
Many people wait too long.
It is common to seek help only when things feel unbearable.
But psychological support works best when there is still willingness - even if there is exhaustion.
If something needs to change, this can be a first step.
Professional notes
