Katarzyna Kordyńska
cognitive behavioral psychotherapist
I provide individual therapy for adults. I have gained professional experience in both the public and private healthcare sectors. Since the beginning of my practice, I have been associated with the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Warsaw. I have completed internships in the Clinic for Neurotic Disorders, Personality Disorders, and Eating Disorders, as well as in the Day Ward for Affective Disorders. Subsequently, I worked as a psychotherapist at the Ursynów-Wilanów Mental Health Center, where I conducted individual therapy and facilitated a behavioral activation group for individuals experiencing low mood and anxiety symptoms. I also worked at the private practice "Psychotherapy in Mokotów."
I completed a 4-year training program in cognitive-behavioral therapy at the CBT-EDU Center. The training is recommended by the Polish Association for Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (PTTPB) and the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT). I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. I am currently preparing to obtain certification as a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist.
In my work, I prioritize the well-being of my clients, their individual needs, and professional ethics. I use techniques whose effectiveness has been scientifically proven. I am the author of academic publications in the fields of cognitive and clinical psychology and a member of the Polish Association for Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy. My work is regularly supervised.
I support LGBT+ individuals. Personally, I am interested in travel and climbing.
