Cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy
Psychologist consultations
Sexologist consultations
- in person and online -
We all sometimes encounter a difficulty in life, with which we can’t seem to deal on our own. At times this can take on a form of a slight inconvenience, other times however the burden might seem so heavy, we can’t take another step forward. In such cases we’re often accompanied by feelings and thoughts of failure, which over time drag us down lower and lower into a never ending spiral. At the same time we interpret our struggle and inability to “get rid of” the issue as proof of our weakness. That’s simply untrue.
Psychological counselling is a proven way to help and find an individual solution to our issues, whether they’re big or small. It also teaches us how to approach future challenges and better cope with negative thoughts and feelings. As a psychologist, my main role here is to diagnose the source of existing difficulties and cooperate with the client - to support them in this shared journey, as well as help them develop a sense of effectiveness.
My area of expertise consists of providing help with (among others):
decreased well-being and depression
personalisty disorders
suicidal and self-harm thoughts
anxiety
intrusive thoughts and behaviours
psycho-sexual disorders
high stress levels and burnout
relationship conflicts
crises and sudden difficult life situations/transitions
low self-esteem
emotion-regulation difficulties
compulsive pornography use
feelings of guilt
feelings of emptiness and psychological suffering
I invite you to contact me in case of any questions and/or doubts.

My name is Krzysztof Nikorowicz and I’m a psychologist and psycho-sexologist - I graduated psychology with clinical specialty from a Kraków based Uniwersytet Pedagogiczny. Currently I’m undergoing a post-graduate programme in CBT psychotherapy. I work in a psychiatric hospital - Szpital Kliniczny im. dr. Józefa Babińskiego - in Kraków, where my duties consist of providing treatment and counselling for patients with disabilities and psychiatric disorders, as well as psychological diagnostics and individual therapy.
In my work I follow the principles of confidentiality, respect for the other person and the professional ethics of a psychologist. I also make sure that the methods I use are scientifically proven and based in proper theory. In order to expand my knowledge and skills I take part in trainings and workshops associated with my professional field.
I base my practice on the CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) approach, at the same time taking knowledge and inspiration from fields such as sexology, attachment styles, ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) and schema therapy.
When working with clients, my priority is to create an atmosphere of safety and warmth, but also to be direct in our cooperation. Together we will be searching for answers to deeply rooted patterns and focusing on challenges of everyday life. We’ll also take into consideration how you feel and relate to yourself.
Although my practice focuses on individual therapy of adults, I occasionally give consultations to younger patients - in this case please contact me for more information.
