Biography

I hold a PhD in Psychology and a PgD in Sexology. I am a member of the Polish Sexological Society. Scientifically, I am affiliated with the Institute of Psychology at the Opole University. I also work at the Mental Health Center "SENSUM " in Opole. My research interests and clinical practice are related to sexology, health psychology, and cyberpsychology. In my research, I focus on various aspects of health psychology (particularly the quality of life of cardiac and neurological patients) and sexology (including pornography consumption, chemsex, cybersex, and the use of modern technologies in the sexual sphere). In my clinical practice, I help patients with various issies related to the sexual sphere. I also support patients struggling with the stress of chronic illness. In the past, I have also gained experience working with people with addictions, body image and self-esteem issues, overweight and obesity, as well as stress, discrimination and exclusion at work and in society.
