This page describes the practical side of working with Atelier Virtus Mentis: what the conversation rests on, how the path from first contact to a session looks, and what is worth knowing beforehand.
You don’t have to arrive with a ready diagnosis, or be able to name what is happening. It is enough that something has stopped working the way it used to.
You don't have to justify coming. The conversation does not begin with an assessment of your decisions, or with proving that the problem is serious enough.
You decide what you talk about and when. Nothing obliges you to tell the whole story in the first session.
At the outset we agree a contract: how often we meet, how long the sessions last, and the terms of the work. In an emergency you can of course call or write between sessions.
You write through the form, call, or send an email. You don't have to describe the matter in detail — as much as you want to say at this stage is enough.
Together we settle on a time and a format: online, a home visit, or individually agreed terms.
At the first appointment we establish the scope of help, how often to meet, and the shared goals we want to reach.
Atelier Virtus Mentis works from Mokotowska 45 in Warsaw. Online consultations — with no geographical limits.
Contact details →Overload, relationships, decisions, tension, falling motivation and many other situations where the ways you used to cope have stopped being enough.
Areas of help →A detailed description of the therapeutic approach and methods is being written by Dominika Secewicz. It will appear here — until then we are glad to answer questions about the form of the work directly.
Ask a question →Sometimes it is about changing something early enough.
