Kornel Miszk

I am a psychologist, therapist, and certified coach specializing in working with adults, adolescents, and children. I support individuals experiencing emotional difficulties, life crises, psychosomatic disorders, low mood, and identity issues. In my work, I value mindfulness, authentic connection, and respect for each person’s individual story—I believe that everyone deserves a space where they can feel understood and safe.

I provide therapy based on the cognitive-behavioral approach, integrating elements from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy), REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), schema therapy, and narrative therapy. I also incorporate psychodietetics, mindfulness, art therapy, and psychosomatic methods to help clients restore balance between body and mind.

How can I support you?

I work with individuals who:

– struggle with anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or burnout,
– are going through grief, breakups, career changes, or other life crises,
– experience difficulties in relationships, low self-esteem, or emotional regulation,
– suffer from psychosomatic symptoms such as insomnia, migraines, or chronic tension,
– wish to take better care of themselves, strengthen their psychological resilience, and live in alignment with their values,
– face challenges with eating habits, eating disorders, or body image issues,
– want to build healthier lifestyle habits and improve their psychophysical wellbeing,
– are seeking personal growth, greater self-awareness, or a change in life direction.

I offer individual online sessions in both Polish and English.

Therapeutic Approach

In my therapeutic practice, I work with:

– Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – developing psychological flexibility,
– Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) – goal- and resource-oriented work,
– Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) – transforming harmful beliefs,
– Schema and Narrative Therapy – exploring life stories and recurring patterns,
– Psychodietetics and Mindfulness – supporting self-regulation, body awareness, and habit change,
– Art Therapy and Body-Oriented Methods – emotional expression through creative and sensory processes.

I always tailor my methods to the person, their life context, and the goals we collaboratively define.

I hold a Master’s degree in Health Psychology from the Medical University of Gdańsk and postgraduate diplomas in Psychodietetics, Biological Renewal, and Wellness. I work as a university lecturer in English, teaching courses in stress management, organizational psychology, motivation, and personal competences. In my clinical practice, I work with both adults and children—including as a preschool psychologist at the Positive Initiatives Foundation.

Educational, Expert, and Publishing Activities

As an author for the TwójPsycholog.pl platform, I popularize knowledge in the areas of health psychology, emotional well-being, and chronic illness. I also serve as a subject-matter expert in the development of psychological content on topics including:

– eating disorders,
– selective mutism,
– Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegenerative conditions.

I also served as a consultant and expert for a master’s thesis on migraine, analyzing the role of emotions, stress, and somatic regulation in the course of the illness.

Selected publications:

What does the first session look like?

The initial consultation lasts 50 minutes and is focused on understanding your needs and goals, as well as selecting the right approach. Sessions take place in a confidential and supportive atmosphere, with full respect for your pace and boundaries.

I encourage you to reach out if you’re experiencing psychological difficulties. Perhaps now is the right moment to take care of yourself and your well-being.
