Family psychotherapy Gdynia

A family therapy session lasts 80 minutes and costs from 250 PLN, regardless of how many people take part. You can start with a free initial visit (15-20 minutes), where the therapist will get to know the situation and suggest who should come to the first meetings.

Not always. After assessing the situation, the therapist suggests who should attend the next meetings – sometimes parents and a teenager, sometimes the whole set of siblings, sometimes only part of the family. The arrangement can change during the process, depending on what you're working on at the time.

Couples therapy focuses on the relationship between two partners. Family therapy looks at the whole system – relationships between parents and children, siblings, sometimes two generations. If your relationship as a couple is the main problem, couples therapy is the better fit; if the tension involves children and roles at home, we turn to family therapy.

We don't treat one person as being at fault. Often it's the child or teenager who “carries outward” the tension building up in the whole family. That's why we work with the pattern of relationships, not with a single “difficult” member – this takes the blame off the child and genuinely helps.

Yes. We help parents after separation set up co-parenting, ease conflict in front of the child, and sort out relationships in a blended family. The goal isn't to return to the old arrangement, but calmer, clear rules the child can rely on.

Usually every two weeks, because between sessions the family needs time to try out new ways of talking. A session lasts 80 minutes. The length of the whole process depends on the situation – sometimes it's a few meetings to sort things out, sometimes longer work on entrenched patterns.

We see patients at our office in central Gdynia at 10 Lutego 7/103, on the first floor, a few minutes' walk from Gdynia Główna station. Easy to reach from Witomino, Karwiny, Dąbrowa and Śródmieście, as well as from Sopot, Rumia and Reda. When it's hard to gather everyone at once, we run sessions online.

We work privately, without the NFZ (Poland's National Health Fund) and without a referral, so the wait for an appointment is short. It's also easier to match several people's schedules – we're open Monday to Friday 8:00-22:00 and Saturday and Sunday 9:00-21:00, including evenings.
