""Even after fixing a specific goal for our consultations, the sessions with Dr Pluciennicka addressed much more than that. Her observations, questions and activities offered plenty of material to think about, and practical advice as well. In my case, her explanations of psychological concepts made the sessions even more effective, and her support during the 2020 confinement was extremely valuable."

My PhD tips for success have been known to be life changing for clients.
"When I first heard about Ewa focusing mainly on PhD students in her work I was intrigued by the idea that someone would focus on assisting people reach what is considered the highest qualification level in academia that is at times lonely, full of self-doubt, bumpy and intimidating at times. I had previously consulted with different psychologists previously but although the 'positive talks' that I practiced were helping, there seemed to be something missing deep down that I could not put my finger to it. Ewa's approach being very practically oriented helped fill the gap. I always left her session with a good sense of what to do and how to do it and a clear direction of where I was headed to instead of a tangled route I was on before I met her"

About me
Academics: I earned my PhD in cognitive psychology in 2015 followed by two postdoctoral fellowships. So I completely understand your academic challenges.
Psychologist: I am a licensed psychologist (French license number/ADELI 679307249), with several years of professional experience in neurology and rehabilitation services. In addition to my research, I have mentored academics and high achievers since 2017.

Traveler and life learner: Multiculturality is my strong suit. I have studied and worked in several different countries, so I can understand your challenges of living abroad. As a result, I can mentor in English, French, and Polish.
One Final Thing…
The mental academic problems you face when obtaining your PhD do not disappear once you receive your PhD. On the contrary, mental challenges tend to amplify over time. According to a Berkley Survey, PhD students are six times more likely to develop mental health illnesses compared to other highly educated individuals following the suffering they experience during their PhD.
So if you are suffering or in need of improving your PhD journey, don’t wait! Let me help you.

"From Ewa's productivity booster workshops to the one-on-one counselling session with her, I had learnt how to take better care of myself mentally, emotionally and physically and rest better without any sense of guilt while still meeting my academic goals. The cherry on top is that this has had a rippling effect in other areas of my life as well..... I believe in myself more, I have started taking up challenges which I could never have agreed to before, more doors are opening and I attribute this to the new state of mind that I exist in now. I now describe myself as free, grounded, empowered and as I said to her out of the shadows and dancing in the sunshine."

"After each session with Ewa I felt relieved, inspired for further work and much more self-conscious. She was always well-prepared for our meetings, sharing generously her broad knowledge of the field. Thanks to her, I will remember my thesis writing as a demanding but enjoyable and inspiring experience. It’s definitely one of the great investments I could do in myself."
