Katarzyna Maternowska – supervisor:
I am a certified Gestalt therapist and a certified Gestalt supervisor. I travel with people through their inner worlds 🙂
I chose the profession of psychotherapist, being already a mature person. Before that, I met with people and their sensitivity on the artistic ground (I graduated from the acting department of the National Film School in Lodz and the theater directing department in Wroclaw). I also work as a group trainer conducting development and art workshops. I am passionate about working with the body, breath, voice and imagination. Voice work took me to my first Gestalt training…. and I felt right at home 🙂
I believe that every person is unique and deserves to be discovered, respected and supported, and that Gestalt brings out the originality of each person – their PHENOMEN. I work with individual clients, couples, adolescents from 15 years old. I have extensive experience working with neurodiverse clients (ASD and ADHD).
During the therapeutic process, I observe how clients experience change by consciously recognizing their emotions, thoughts, actions, and integrating them. Gradually eliminating what does not serve them, and finding what makes them feel fulfilled, free, valuable people. As a supervisor, I accompany other therapists of various modalities in their processes with clients. I also act as a supervisor for artists and their mentors on demanding film sets, or on other art projects supporting artists.
Privately I like people, pets, books, activity in nature, especially around lakes and forests:) I am a mother of two sons, and there is always some ear creature running around my house – currently a dog 🙂
