MGR VICTORIA ADRIANNA DZIETOWIECKA
Psychologist, certified Sport Psychologist, Human–Dog relationship Specialist
Helping others has always brought me great joy. Choosing this career path was no coincidence, as the work I do is also my passion. My goal is to support people in better understanding themselves, improving their quality of life, and building resources that help them cope with everyday challenges. In my practice, I combine psychological knowledge with experience in working with both people and animals, offering support in three complementary areas.
The first area is psychological consultations. I work with individuals who experience emotional difficulties, go through life crises, or simply need a conversation and professional guidance to sort out their thoughts and emotions. I provide support in coping with stress, anxiety, low mood, or burnout, and I accompany people in building self-esteem, confidence, and healthy relationships with others. I also hold a specialization in addiction psychology and have professional experience working with people struggling with addictions as well as their families and loved ones. I have worked, among others, at the MONAR rehabilitation center, in the detoxification ward of a Psychiatric Hospital, and at the Municipal Center for Addiction Prevention and Therapy, which has allowed me to gain extensive practice and knowledge in the field of addiction therapy. My priority is to create a safe space where everyone can feel heard and understood.
The second area is sport psychology. I collaborate with athletes, coaches, and physically active individuals who want to improve their performance, achieve their goals, and unlock their full potential. I help strengthen mental resilience, motivation, and focus, as well as teach strategies for coping with performance pressure and competition-related stress. In my work, I use mental training tools and relaxation techniques that not only support sports development but also have a positive impact on other areas of life. My aim is not only to help achieve success but also to show how sport can be a source of satisfaction, health, and fulfillment.
The third area of my work focuses on the human–dog relationship. As a psychologist and specialist in this field, I help dog guardians better understand their pet’s psychological and emotional needs, build a conscious bond based on trust, and develop effective cooperation in everyday life as well as in sports activities. I support both those who simply want to improve their quality of life with their dog and those who participate in disciplines such as agility, frisbee, flyball, or obedience. Working on communication and the relationship with a dog is important not only for achieving better results but also for the well-being of both the person and the animal.
