Mgr Karolina Zawrotniak

Karolina Zawrotniak supports children, teenagers, adults and couples experiencing emotional difficulties, life crises and everyday challenges. She adapts her approach to the client's concerns, age and the purpose of the consultation. She is the founder of Oddech.

She is a psychologist who graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and completed postgraduate studies in sexology. She continued her training at the SWPS University School of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which is recommended by the Polish Association for Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies (PTTPB). She has also completed postgraduate studies in psychotraumatology. She is a member of PTTPB and has her work regularly supervised.

One of her areas of work is ADHD assessment in adults. She conducts diagnostic consultations using the DIVA-5 interview, supports parents of children with ADHD and helps clients understand their own patterns of functioning and identify strategies for everyday situations.

She works within a cognitive behavioural approach (CBT), adapting her methods to each client's needs. She supports adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, difficulty regulating emotions and traumatic experiences, as well as life crises and relationship difficulties. Consultations for couples are a regular part of her work. She completed postgraduate studies in sexology, so a consultation can also cover questions about sexuality and intimacy.

She develops her skills through further training and postgraduate education. Her work is informed by current research and ethical standards.

She provides consultations in Polish and English, in person in Poznań and online.

Outside work, she is a mother of two. Her own experience gives her direct insight into the everyday challenges parents face, a perspective she draws on when working with families.
