About us

About the centre

Primavera is a Psychotherapy Centre in the centre of Kraków. For over 20 years we have worked with adults, couples and groups — in crisis, in difficult emotions, in relationships and in the search for one's own path.

We are a team of psychotherapists, psychologists, sexologists and a psychiatrist. We work in several approaches to psychotherapy, at ul. Szlak 77 and online.

Founder

Founder of Primavera

Mariola Zielińska

certified Gestalt psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer

I created Primavera for people who need a safe place to change. Today it is a team of psychotherapists, psychologists and a psychiatrist, all working under regular supervision.

Our principles

How we work

  • Relationship and a sense of safety

    Good therapy starts with a relationship in which you can speak openly, without being judged.

  • We help you find a therapist

    The first meeting is a consultation — together we decide which form of help and which person will suit you best.

  • Supervision and teamwork

    Each of us takes their work to regular supervision, and we also meet for team meetings and peer supervision.

  • Working with a psychiatrist

    When a medical diagnosis or medication is needed, you can consult our psychiatrist here.

The Gestalt approach

The approaches we work in

Primavera is not a single-approach practice. Our team works in the Gestalt, integrative, psychodynamic, systemic and solution-focused approaches; we also have specialists in sexology and a psychiatrist. That makes it easier to match the way of working to what you bring — and if you are not sure who would be best for you, we will help you choose.

We feel especially close to the humanistic-experiential approach, including Gestalt. In practice this means we look at what is happening here and now: what you are going through, what you need and how you are in contact with yourself and with other people. We are not looking for a fault to repair in you — we are looking for a way for you to understand yourself better and to choose consciously. You can read about how each person works on their profile.

Trust

Standards and ethics

  • Professional secrecy

    What you talk about in the consulting room stays between you and your therapist. The exceptions are defined by law.

  • Code of ethics and memberships

    We work according to the principles of professional ethics; some of the team belong to the Polish Association for Gestalt Psychotherapy (Polskie Towarzystwo Psychoterapii Gestalt, PTPG), the European Association for Gestalt Therapy (EAGT) and the Polish Psychiatric Association (Polskie Towarzystwo Psychiatryczne).

  • Supervision

    Each of us takes their work to regular supervision — that is a basic condition of good practice.

  • Continuous training

    We take part in training courses and conferences in Poland and abroad.

  • Data protection

    We process personal data in line with our privacy policy.
