About me

My passion is the therapy of children and the development of their potential by creating an environment in which they learn about their own abilities, build their self-esteem, and find the answer to the most important question in their lives: Who am I?

Nina Ambroziak

I am a psychologist, sensory integration therapist and Play Therapy therapist, supervisor and trainer. I take a holistic approach to child therapy taking into account the child's mental, emotional, physical needs, taking into account the environment in which they live. My special interest is directed towards play therapy. Participation in numerous trainings, workshops and conferences enables me to integrate ideas from different approaches in child therapy.

I am a member of Play Therapy International, the Polish Psychological Association, the American Psychological Association and the Polish Sensory Integration Association. I work in accordance with their Codes of Ethics. My work is continuously and regularly supervised by supervisors certified by Play Therapy International
