"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.
I started this journey with Ewa because I was at a standstill in my PhD. I was not feeling motivated and was procrastinating on my work. Working with Ewa helped me understand myself better and regain motivation. It was one of the best gifts I could ever give myself.

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. With my experience, I have seen nearly every issue imaginable, and I have many solutions (cognitive, behavioral, emotional) that I can propose to you.
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."
Makoma, PhD student in Nutrition, University of Western Cap, South Africa
"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."
