Therapy, Personal Growth Sessions and Leadership Mentoring
for High-Performers in Tech, Finance and Consulting
Agnieszka Bojanowska, PhD
I am an experienced psychologist with a PhD in psychology of thriving, trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Schema Therapy and EMDR. I provide therapy to professionals from the tech, finance and consulting industries suffering from mental health challenges and psychological pain. I also work with clients who feel in balance but want to delve deeper into personal development and growth in their professional and personal lives. Between the years 2016 and 2025 I served as assistant and then associate professor of psychology.
Being ambitious and driven myself, I understand ambitious professionals and competitive environments. I specialise in facilitating growth for people who cannot afford to slow down and who expect effective techniques that foster balance between psychological needs and high-pressure professions.
I work with clients who seek more ease in their pursuits, who would like to become more resilient and empowered in their professional and personal lives.
In my work I use a mix of methods from various therapy modalities, positive psychology interventions and novel methods of alleviating psychological suffering. I do not stick to one approach but try to find the best method that matches the needs of my clients.
I have a love for philosophy and am curious about experimental methods of working with the mind. I ask difficult questions in a respectful and friendly atmosphere and I aim to provide a safe space for my clients to experience difficult emotions, revisit old wounds and change patterns. My goal is to help my clients grow and become empowered in their own uniqueness and authenticity.
