I support children and adolescents in better understanding themselves and their emotions. I help them go through difficult moments: from school problems to the challenges of growing up. I create a safe space where everyone can feel heard and understood.
I support children, adolescents, and adults in regaining cognitive functioning and improving overall quality of life. I help with difficulties in concentration, memory, and attention by offering individually tailored support.
Blisko Siebie Aleksandra Paniak is a place of support for children, adolescents, and families. I offer help as a child and adolescent psychologist and neuropsychologist, providing consultations, psychological counseling, diagnostics, crisis intervention, and training.
I graduated in Psychology at SWPS University in Warsaw and completed the School of Neuropsychology at SWPS University in Katowice. This training enables me to carry out neuropsychological assessment and therapy with children, adolescents, adults and seniors. I am currently expanding my competencies through training at the School of Psychotherapy for Children, Adolescents, and Families.
I continuously develop my skills by participating in numerous specialist courses and training programs. I gained professional experience in mental health clinics, hospitals, and kindergartens, which allowed me to work with people of different ages and diverse needs.
In my work, I integrate approaches and tools derived from various psychotherapeutic schools, adapting them to the individual needs of my patients. However, a particularly important place in my practice is occupied by the psychodynamic approach, which is the closest to me and forms my main perspective for understanding psychological difficulties and therapeutic work.
I support children, adolescents, adults and families in their emotional, social and cognitive development.

Ms Ola has a wonderful way with children. She is empathetic and creates a safe atmosphere from the very first meeting. Her experience and genuine commitment are visible throughout the sessions. Our child takes part willingly and she also has excellent contact with parents. I recommend her :)
Magdalena
Ms Aleksandra Paniak is a wonderful, warm person and an excellent psychologist. She adapts the topics and the way she runs the sessions to the child’s current needs. Our child regularly attends individual meetings and social skills training with Ms Ola and loves taking part in them. We have noticed that thanks to these sessions our once anxious child has become more self-confident and aware of their own needs and emotions. We must also add that Ms Ola’s commitment and kind approach towards both the child and the parents makes working with her a real pleasure.
Inessa
I highly recommend the social skills training run by Ms Ola! Our little daughter has started to understand her emotions much better and knows how to respond to them. She particularly enjoyed the card game in which the children make up their own stories. A brilliant idea! You can see that Ms Ola approaches children with heart and passion. Thank you!
Monika
We are very happy with the group social skills training run by Ms Ola. Our child attends the meetings willingly and always comes back smiling and full of positive emotions. We have noticed greater openness with peers, better cooperation and more self-confidence. Ms Ola runs the sessions with great commitment, empathy and professionalism, creating a safe and friendly atmosphere for the children. Thank you for the heart you put into your work. We warmly recommend these sessions to other parents.
