mgr Anna Shykalova

I'm an EMDR and IFS therapist, psychologist, and a psychotherapist in the process of certification. I'm a member of and a recommended therapist of professional associations of EMDR Poland and of IFS Poland. My work is regularly supervised by the certified EMDR and IFS consultants. As part of my professional development and certification process I participate in the international IFS Level 1 and 2 trainings as a PA (program assistant). I expand and hone my therapeutic skills and techniques in EMDR and IFS trainings with the local and international clinicians and trainers. Evidence of my continuous education i.e. certificates are available on demand.

Both EMDR and IFS therapies are evidence-based therapeutic models particularly effective for working with trauma, restoring a sense of internal cohesion, connection and belonging, as well as building resilience. Although both therapies are known to have helped thousands of people around the globe suffering from various levels of emotional distress in a relatively short span of time, they are not a quick fix as often portrayed in social media. However, if a client wishes to achieve a very concrete and narrowly defined realistic goal, needs to cope with a fresh traumatic experience or to deal with a single-incident trauma, the therapy duration is expected to be shorter.  

I obtained my master's degree in Psychology (MSc) from the Arden University (UK). My diploma has been nostrified by the SWPS Warsaw University which means I can legally practise psychology in Poland. My first master's degree is in Linguistics. I work in four languages: English, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian.
