My work with people is grounded in Process Work — an approach that invites us to become curious about what is already happening, rather than deciding in advance what should happen or what needs to change.

We all move through life with many different experiences, roles, feelings. Sometimes these different parts of us need to come into conflict in order for something new to emerge. The same can happen between people, within families and relationships, in groups and communities, and in the wider systems we are part of.

I am interested in what becomes possible when we slow down enough to notice these processes and give them space to unfold. It can be very scary to let go of our own assumptions and story, but often the other person’s way of seeing things may hold some new wisdom for us.

Rather than arriving with ready-made solutions, I try to listen carefully to what is happening in the moment and support the people I work with to discover their own awareness and possibilities. My goal is to empower you, so when the next challenge comes up, you may have better access to your own resources and to the wisdom that comes from your unique experience.

Process Work developed from the work of Arnold Mindell and has grown into an approach used today in individual and relationship work, group facilitation, organisational settings and community processes. At its heart is a simple but profound idea: what is happening can be meaningful and useful.

A recurring conflict, a strong emotional reaction, a dream, a movement in the body, something we keep avoiding, or a tension within a group can all be understood as signals pointing towards something that may want our attention. Instead of immediately trying to get rid of these experiences, Process Work invites us to become curious about them.

What happens if we listen more closely?

What changes when we give a different voice or perspective a little more space?

What might we discover if we don’t assume that we already know where the process should lead?

This way of working can bring awareness to experiences that are difficult to understand only through words or rational thinking. Sometimes this means exploring emotions, body sensations, movement, dreams, relationship dynamics, roles or different perspectives within a conflict.

The process is not about finding one correct interpretation. It is about discovering what becomes possible when there is enough awareness to notice what is already trying to emerge.

There is no fixed formula for my sessions. The way we work together depends on who you are, what brings you here, and what is happening in the moment.

Sometimes we may stay with a conversation and explore a particular experience in depth. At other times, it may be useful to pay attention to something happening in the body, experiment with a movement, explore a different perspective, or bring more attention to a relationship or interaction. I may invite you to slow something down, try something in a different way, or notice something that seems small but carries a lot of energy.

Although I adapt flexibly to your unique situation, my work is grounded in structured and well-researched techniques. I am trained to pay attention to different kinds of signals that emerge in your process. I notice them and help you explore and unfold them. Sometimes we do this through non-verbal methods, allowing you to experience something directly rather than overthinking it.

The intention is not to lead you towards a particular answer. It is to support your own awareness and curiosity, so that you can discover more of the possibilities within your situation.

My personal style is gentle and compassionate, while at the same time I love clarity. I give a lot of space to feelings, because they express something unique about your experience of the situation you are in. At the same time, I make sure that we are clear about what we are doing and what you need. I pay close attention to your feedback, both verbal and non-verbal.

One of the things I value about Process Work is that it does not separate people from the relationships and environments they live in. What happens within one person can be connected to what happens between people. What happens between two people can be connected to family, culture, community or wider social dynamics. This is why the same approach can be used in very different situations — from individual exploration and relationship conflict to group processes and community work.

I am particularly interested in the places where different worlds meet: different cultures, identities, generations, roles, values and ways of understanding what is happening. These differences can create tension, but they can also bring new perspectives and possibilities.

My interest in people, relationships and different ways of living has been with me for a long time. I grew up in a rural village in Poland and later lived in several cities and travelled extensively around Europe. For a number of years I lived a more nomadic life, mostly travelling by backpacking and hitchhiking.

These experiences shaped my curiosity about people and about the many different ways we can live. They also taught me something that continues to influence my work: there is rarely only one way of seeing a situation. I studied psychology at university in Poland before eventually choosing a different path. My travels led me towards permaculture, rural life and the creation of Quinta Kania with my partner.

I have lived here with my family for almost 10 years and have been a mother for the last two years. Becoming a parent has brought another layer of learning about relationships, roles and change into my life. Having a child changes the shape of everyday life. New responsibilities appear, old roles shift, and there is often less space and time than before. We move between being partners, parents, individuals and many other roles, sometimes within the same moment. Living through these changes myself has deepened my curiosity about what happens to relationships when life changes around them — and about how we find ways to meet each other again as our roles evolve.

At the same time, I am part of a multicultural family. Living with different cultural backgrounds has made me particularly aware of how much our assumptions about family, communication, parenting, relationships and everyday life can be shaped by where we come from.

This is something I also experience in the place where I live. Quinta Kania is situated in a rural area, but it is also a meeting place for people from many different parts of the world. Over the years, I have shared moments with people with different languages, cultures, values, histories and ways of imagining their lives. For me, this has been a continuous invitation to become curious about differences rather than assuming that my own way of seeing is the obvious one.

Living and working on the land has also deeply influenced the way I understand people and systems. Permaculture taught me to observe before intervening, to look at relationships rather than isolated parts, and to pay attention to the conditions that allow something to grow. A farm is a living system. Everything is connected, and changing one part can affect many others. There is constant movement, growth, decay, adaptation and renewal.

People and communities are not so different. We are also part of systems, carrying histories, relationships, roles and environments with us. I find many parallels between this way of observing nature and the principles of Process Work. Rather than asking only, “How do we fix this problem?”, I am interested in questions such as:

What is already happening here?

What is changing?

What has been overlooked?

What relationships are influencing the situation?

And what might become possible if we pay attention to what is trying to emerge?

I am currently completing the long diploma training in Process Work. As part of this training, I receive regular supervision and continue to develop my practice through ongoing study, facilitation and personal exploration.

My training prepares me to work with individuals, relationships, families, groups and organisations, while also teaching me to recognise the boundaries of my own experience and competence. I don’t believe that one practitioner or one approach is right for every situation. When something falls outside the scope of my work, I prefer to be transparent about this and, when possible, help people find an appropriate professional or colleague.

Alongside my Process Work training, I am also developing my skills in mediation and conflict transformation, particularly in relation to my work with couples, groups and communities. I’m completing the international mediation training. It allows me to integrate a safe and clear structure in the moments when two people or a group needs to focus on finding practical solutions to their issues. When there is a lot of tension and pressure to find a way to continue, mediation provides wonderful structure, so each voice and interest is given respect.

I don’t see my training as something that has a final endpoint. Process Work asks me to keep developing my own awareness alongside my professional skills — to notice my assumptions, stay curious about what I don’t yet understand, and remain open to being changed by the people and processes I encounter.

My life outside the work is part of this learning too. Becoming a mother, creating a multicultural family, living in a rural community and sharing everyday life with people from many different backgrounds continually remind me that relationships are living processes. They change as we change.

This is part of what I value about the work. There is no need to have everything figured out before we begin. We can start with what is happening now and see where it leads.
