Mrs Renata Krolak-Sarnowska

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I am prorofessionally trained to work with Couples and Children. I have Master Degree in Therapeutic Childcare & Bsc Hon in Marriage & Relationship Counselling”

About Me

I help couples strengthen their bond and children find their voice. When family dynamics feel challenging, I offer dedicated support. We can work together to explore communication patterns, building understanding for everyone. My approach creates a safe space where each family member feels heard. This helps foster resilience and deeper connections for your family's future.

Approach

With training in child-focused therapy and relationship counselling, I guide sessions that are practical and attentive, noticing the small exchanges that change connection. Whether we meet in Athy, online from elsewhere, in English or Polish, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace where partners and young people shape the agenda. I use gentle structure — brief experiments in how you speak, short between-session reflections, and age-appropriate activities — so patterns shift in real time. This approach suits families and couples ready to try new ways of relating.
