Agnieszka Kulczycka-Dopiera

My name is Agnieszka Kulczycka-Dopiera. I am a psychologist and an accredited psychotherapist with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).
I graduated from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Warsaw and subsequently completed postgraduate studies in Psychological Assessment in Clinical Practice at SWPS University. A year later, I began my doctoral studies at the Institute of Psychology at the University of Gdańsk.
Due to personal circumstances, I decided to move to Ireland, where I began my psychotherapy training at IICP College in Dublin. At the same time, I started working at “My Mind” Psychotherapy Centre.
Living abroad sparked my interest in cross-cultural psychology and helped me understand the challenges associated with emigration and cultural differences. I explored these topics in my doctoral dissertation, which I successfully defended in 2019.
I currently live in Warsaw, where I have been running my own private practice for several years. My work gives me a deep sense of purpose and fulfilment. Outside of work, I draw energy from spending time with my loved ones. I also love movement, nature, and taking time for myself.

How I work

I work from an integrative perspective, drawing primarily on the humanistic-experiential approach, including Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT).
I place particular emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and the integration of mind and body. I aim to tailor my approach to each individual and their unique needs.
I regularly engage in both individual and group supervision. I adhere to the Code of Professional Ethics for Psychologists of the Polish Psychological Association and the ethical guidelines of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).
