Ilona Jurkiewicz-Buchała

psychologist, psychotherapist

I cooperate with adults who experience difficulties both in their personal and professional lives, suffer from internal conflicts, find themselves in a difficult life situation and / or need psychological support. I also work with people who lack strength and motivation to make changes in their lives, find it hard to build satisfactory relationships, are afraid of new challenges and who feel helpless. 

I am a humanistic integrative psychotherapist, which means that in my work I apply the elements of various therapeutic schools and methods (i.e. humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, emotion-focused, focusing) depending on the Client's needs.

I work therapeutically both long and short term in the following areas:

  • personality disorders,
  • psychosomatic disorders,
  • emotional disorders,
  • anxiety disorder,
  • depression,
  • bulimia,

  • low self-esteem,
