Mr Piotr Szmyt
Psychotherapist
“Psychotherapy is my work and my passion. I support people in overcoming personal and relational difficulties, getting in touch with their own feelings and finding inner sense of authenticity and empowerment. Each person is unique therefore the therapy I offer is always adjusted to your individual needs. Thanks to my broad training I can choose tools and approaches that suit your needs best. I'm trained in psycho-dynamic therapy and ISTDP (7 years of training). I also use aspects of schema therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, assertiveness training and anxiety regulation exercises.

About Me
Approach
Sessions move between careful listening and clear feedback so we can name what’s happening and let you try new ways of relating in and outside therapy.
I help people untangle anxiety, process painful memories, and practice communication that rebuilds trust, using practical steps tailored to your rhythm.
This way of working tends to suit adults and couples ready for honest, collaborative and sometimes confrontational approach.
We will work on 3 levels:
- cognitive : to intellectually describe your problem (your schema) and your goals
- emotional: to recognize what emotions are triggered when you activate your behavioral and thought patterns
- somatic: you will learn how your body responses (tension, activation, dissociation) inform you about what's happening underneath your automatic functioning (under your coping mechanisms / your schema).
I'm certified ISTDP (Intensive short term dynamic psychotherapy) psychoterapist and a member of IEDTA (International Experiential Dynamic Therapy Association).

Services
The best way to start is for you to share a little bit about what’s on your mind. During our first session, we’ll explore how I can support you and estimate how long our journey together might take. At the end, we’ll discuss whether you’d like to move forward, and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have about the therapeutic process.
