About me
Welcome — I am Laura.
I am an English-speaking psychologist and Gestalt therapist, born and raised in Germany as the daughter of Polish parents. I have lived in Poland and Germany; currently I am based in Berlin.
My family's history has been shaped by forced displacement and chosen migration: my grandparents had to flee during the Second World War, and my parents moved to Germany in the 1980s. Through this history, questions of identity and belonging became part of me — and they continue to shape my professional work today. From my own experience I understand how profoundly cultural identity and migration can shape our sense of self and our relationships.
Qualifications
Training & experience.
Training ✳
- M.A. in Psychology — University of Warsaw.

- Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie — the German state permission to work psychotherapeutically, granted by the public health authority after an examination.
Professional experience ✳
- Since 2019: therapeutic work with people from many different cultures. Since 2024 exclusively freelance as a Gestalt therapist — online and in person.
- High sensitivity: I also accompany highly sensitive people (HSP). High sensitivity is not a diagnosis but a trait: stimuli, moods and other people’s feelings are perceived more intensely.
- Psychologist at a family counselling centre (part-time) — counselling couples, children, adolescents and parents.
- Supported independent living: accompanying people with chronic conditions and diagnoses such as depression, borderline, schizophrenia, autism and addiction; experience in crisis support and with intense emotional states.
My stance
“Change and personal growth begin with acceptance of what is, without trying to change it. From here, change almost happens effortlessly.”— that is why I work with Gestalt therapy.

She also has a lot of valuable experience in family counselling, and from court proceedings too, so she knows how badly things can end when family problems aren’t resolved together, in trust.
