  • MSc in Psychodynamics of Human Development (Sept 2010-Jul 2012) taught jointly by Birkbeck, University of London and The British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF).

Their expertise on wider social systems we all function in and their impact on our mental health Kasia particularly appreciates. This training connects her psychodynamic and academic approach.
  • Her training included nearly 6 years weekly training psychoanalysis with an analyst trained by Institute of Psychoanalysis in London (including 3 years 3 times weekly). Kasia holds the view that a psychotherapist needs to know their own self well in order to help others.
