How I can help
What people come with
Life crises and transitions
Relocation, culture shock, loss, separation, burnout, or a period when the ground stops feeling solid.
Relationship difficulties
Recurring patterns in close relationships, loneliness, conflict, difficulty with closeness or trust.
Personality difficulties
In-depth work, including borderline and narcissistic patterns, where the difficulty is long-standing rather than situational.
Living abroad adds its own weight: a new language, distance from family, and a sense that no one quite knows your context. That is a legitimate reason to come.
About me
Jan Brzezicki, MA
I am a psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist and I have been working in this profession since 2009. I hold an MA in psychology from the University of Silesia in Katowice and completed a four-year postgraduate psychotherapy training at the Krakow Centre for Psychodynamics.
Most of my experience comes from public healthcare: hospital wards, a long-term care unit, and a mental health centre where I carried out diagnostic assessment and qualification for therapy. Alongside that, I have run this private practice in Chorzów since 2009. I work in English and in Polish.
I do not promise quick results. What I offer is careful, honest work within clear and predictable boundaries. A fuller professional biography is available on the Polish version of this page.
How it works
Starting therapy
We always begin with a consultation: one to three meetings of 90 minutes in which we look at what brings you and decide together what kind of help would actually suit you. It commits you to nothing further.
If we decide to continue, psychotherapy usually means regular sessions, once or twice a week, at a fixed time. In psychodynamic work we look not only at the current difficulty but at the patterns underneath that keep it in place.
Sessions take place in person at the practice in Chorzów. I do not offer online therapy. Everything we discuss is covered by professional confidentiality; the exceptions are narrowly defined by law.
