My path

I’ve built a life in three countries, in four languages, and somewhere along the way I stopped being able to answer the question where are you from with one word.

Poland raised me and remains my anchor. Italy has been my second home and shaped a large part of who I am. Switzerland is where I live and work – and unexpectedly, in this quiet country between the Alps, I found the silence I needed to finally hear my own voice.

It all came from curiosity — about places, about languages, about people and the stories they carry. That same curiosity is what led me into every room I’ve worked in since. For over a decade, I’ve been working with people.

My path wasn’t linear. Too many interests, too many beginnings, too many directions. Always too much – and somehow never enough. Not disciplined enough, not focused enough, not consistent enough. And yet I kept fighting — mostly with myself.

The roles kept changing, but the thread didn’t – I’ve always been drawn to the stories people carry underneath the surface. It started with books under the covers by torchlight, and conversations with my grandparents that I never wanted to end.

Small talk was never for me – I always wanted to see more: to understand what connected one thing to another, to notice the detail someone mentioned once and never returned to, the pattern that only made sense three conversations later.

Psychology-informed approach

Psychology was the most direct path to understanding people, how they think, what shapes them, what they carry – grounded in evidence, sensitive to individual difference, and focused on sustainable growth rather than short-term fixes.

Coaching followed naturally. Where psychology helped me understand, coaching helped me move. It works with what’s already there – the strengths, the patterns, the self-knowledge that’s been there all along – and builds from that.

And with both came a late ADHD diagnosis. But it wasn’t the name that changed things – it was what I already had to work with: the psychological knowledge to understand it, and the coaching tools to do something with it.

I stopped trying to function on someone else’s terms. I stopped performing wellness I didn’t feel. The exhaustion that came from pretending – from forcing myself into systems that were never built for me – finally began to lift. For the first time, I was working with myself instead of against myself.

Today I’m completing an MSc in Clinical Psychology – including a clinical placement in a psychiatric hospital. I trained as an ADHD coach through ADDCA, a leading ADHD coaching school, and completed training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
