About me
Let’s get to know each other
My name is Marta Paturalski. I am a psychologist offering psychological consultations for Polish-speaking adults in Bad Bentheim.
Since 2015, my life has been closely connected with migration and the experience of living outside Poland. This means I understand life abroad from both a personal and professional perspective. I know that it can be a time of new opportunities, personal growth and finding your own path, but it can also bring change, uncertainty, overwhelm or the challenge of finding your place in a new reality.
How do I work?
My work is based on the Solution-Focused Approach (SFA) , which has its roots in the systemic tradition and whose effectiveness is supported by scientific research.
At the same time, I work eclectically and individually, drawing on different approaches and perspectives. A relational and experiential way of working is particularly important to me.Approaches such as Gestalt and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therefore play an important role in how I understand people and in my psychological work.
The starting point is always you, your story, your current situation, your needs, your resources and what matters to you personally.
My education and professional development
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology with a specialisation in Psychotherapy. My degree has been assessed in Germany by the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen - ZAB). I also completed postgraduate studies in psychotraumatology at the “Varsovia” University of Business and Applied Sciences in Warsaw.
I developed my skills in the Solution-Focused Approach through Level I training at the Centrum Terapii Skoncentrowanej na Rozwiązaniach and Level II training at Integri TSR. I am a member of the Polish Association of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Therapists (PSTTSR).
I gained professional experience at Stowarzyszenie Widzących Więcej , as well as in the psychological practices Przystań Psychologiczna and Gabinet Psychologiczny Semko Lipiec.
I regularly participate in supervision,attend professional training courses and workshops, and support my personal and professional development through my own psychotherapy.
Continuing my professional development
I remain curious, continue to learn, and consistently develop my professional skills.
In the near future, I will begin the certification process to become a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) therapist within the PSTTSR. This is the next step in my professional journey with an approach that forms an important foundation of my work.
At the same time, I am continuing to develop my professional qualifications in Germany and preparing for the next stage of obtaining the Heilpraktikererlaubnis für Psychotherapie, the German permit to practise psychotherapy under the Heilpraktikergesetz.
These are my goals for the near future, and working towards them is part of my conscious and responsible approach to professional development.
