Me Time-Time to Choose Yourself
Hi, I’m Beata.
I’m a psychotherapist offering therapy in both English and Polish.
I have lived in Ireland for over 20 years, and my own journey of building a life away from the place I once called home has shaped the person and therapist I am today. I know what it can feel like to be far from everything familiar — your language, culture, family, roots and the sense of knowing where you belong. I understand the quiet experience of feeling different, while at the same time trying to find your own place and create a life that feels truly yours.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I completed a Master’s degree in Childcare, and my professional journey has always been centered around people and human connection. For the first 11 years of my career in Ireland, I worked in a nursing home, where I had the privilege of caring for and building meaningful relationships with older people. Their stories, life experiences and wisdom gave me a deep appreciation for Irish culture, its traditions and its roots. I also spent many years working with children in preschools, schools and a special needs preschool, where I had the opportunity to work not only with children, but also closely with their parents. These experiences gave me a deep appreciation of the many layers of family life — the love, exhaustion, expectations, worries, challenges and hopes that can exist beneath the surface.
I am also a mum to two boys and a wife, so I understand the everyday realities of parenting, relationships, responsibility and trying to find space for yourself while caring for the people you love.
But above all being a psychotherapist is more than a profession to me — it is something I feel deeply passionate about.
I love sitting with another person and being invited into their world. I love the moments when something that has been difficult to understand suddenly begins to make sense, when someone discovers a part of themselves they had forgotten, or when they finally feel safe enough to say out loud what they have been carrying for years.
I believe there is something incredibly meaningful about being trusted with another person's story.
For me, therapy is about human connection, curiosity, compassion and creating space for something new to become possible. I never stop being moved by the courage it takes to look inward, to question old patterns and to begin choosing what feels more true to who we are.
This work genuinely matters to me.
It is a privilege, and it is a passion.
I believe therapy can be a space where you can take off the masks, slow down, listen to yourself and gently explore the parts of you that may have been unheard for a very long time.
You don’t have to arrive with everything figured out.
You can simply come as you are.
I’m here to meet you there.
Me Time: Know yourself. Choose yourself. And then choose who you want beside you.
