About Us
MA Magdalena Klek
Counsellor, Pedagogue, Sociotherapist, Graduate of the Social Academy of Sciences in Łódź and The Blackford Centre.
In her therapeutic and educational work, she follows an integrative approach, but the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy are the closest to her. She regularly submits her work to supervision.
In my work, I accompany both young people and adults in improving the quality of their lives and relationships. This experience has made working with others and supporting them through the process of change they undergo my passion. Working with others shows me that each person is like an unpolished diamond, with hidden beauty and potential.
