A safe space to be yourself
At certain moments in life, we encounter situations we did not plan for and that cannot be easily resolved. The gap between what is expected and what is really happening inside can create tension that is hard to ignore. Seeing things from a different perspective can be the first step towards moving forward and regaining a sense of agency.
No one ever said you have to carry everything on your own
When different needs start speaking at the same time
Usually, it is not about a lack of answers, but about the moment when the ways you have understood yourself so far are no longer enough. What once worked – familiar paths and explanations – loses its sense of certainty.
There are times in life when different needs begin to pull against one another. What feels rational does not always align with what is felt, and the coping strategies you have developed may no longer be adequate. This can be seen as a “problem to be solved” or a “weakness to be overcome”, although I personally prefer to think of it as a signal that something important is asking for closer attention. It does not require justification or fixing.
In conversation, the starting point is the way you experience your situation – even if it does not fit with what is supposed to make sense. Pausing there is not an end in itself, but it often turns out to be what allows you to move forward in a way that is truly your own.
What you can expect
I do not work according to a single, predefined framework. We shape the way of working together, in relation to your particular situation and what proves most helpful at a given time. I am closest to person-centred approach, but I complement it with other perspectives when I see that they may be relevant. Sometimes change calls for a different way of looking at things; at other times, it involves concrete decisions or trying to do something differently.
Together, we explore the quality of the relationship and whether the support being offered is genuinely helpful. If it stops being helpful, we return to it in conversation – including when it is difficult to put into words straight away.
About me
My name is Adam Kaminski. I am a psychologist and therapist. I work online with adults, in Polish and in English. I support people who are experiencing tension, feeling stuck, or going through significant life changes. I also work with people in bereavement and with those close to individuals receiving palliative care. I engage in regular supervision and uphold ethical standards, which are an integral part of my work.
Contact
If this way of thinking about the therapeutic process resonates with you, you can take the next step. Getting in touch is an opportunity to see what it is like to talk together, rather than a commitment to starting therapy. I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation, during which we can jointly explore whether the form of support I offer would be appropriate for your situation.
If you prefer, you can also write a few words instead of arranging a conversation.
