Thank you for your interest in my work as a psychologist, psychotherapist, and clinical sexologist. Here I’d like to share more information about my professional qualifications, clinical experience, and the values that guide my practice.
– Anna Báthory, MA in Psychology
(…) “the therapist essentially plays the same role as a parent, providing and modeling the regulatory functions of the social brain. As affect is repeatedly brought into the therapeutic relationship and successfully managed, the client gradually internalizes these skills by sculpting the relevant neural structures necessary for emotional regulation.”
– Louis Cozolino, “The neuroscience of psychotherapy. Healing the social brain”
The core values of my clinical practice are professionalism, respect, ethical standards, and confidentiality.
I believe every person’s challenges and life experiences are unique and the care I provide is individualized. A diagnosis, such as depression, personality disorder, sexual dysfunction, or relationship difficulties, is only part of the broader picture you bring to therapy.
In both psychotherapy and sexual therapy, I take into account not just your symptoms but also the broader context of your life. I pay attention to how you experience psychological or sexual difficulties, the meaning you assign to them, and how they affect different areas of your life, including relationships and daily functioning. Your personal history, family context, and even family dynamics are important in understanding your challenges and shaping an approach to therapy that truly fits your needs.
I aim to create a safe, respectful space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we work on pathways to overcome crises, tailored to your needs and capacities, using the most effective therapeutic methods for your situation.
I value continuous professional development to ensure my work reflects the latest scientific research.
My practice is supervised by experts from the Polish Psychological Association and the Polish Sexological Society. I regularly attend national and international conferences, workshops, and seminars to expand my skills.
Membership in national and international professional and scientific organizations allows me to participate in high-quality training and stay updated with the latest scientific advancements.
I am a member of:
- Polish Psychiatric Association
- Polish Sexological Association
- Society for Personality Assessment
- American Psychoanalytic Association
- International Society for Sexual Medicine
- European Society for Sexual Medicine
