A psychotherapist.Well, almost.

I'm Pavel Burdyka — a psychology student doing practice at a therapy centre. I'll start seeing clients in about two years. Until then: notes on psychology, mini-exercises that actually work, and zero promises to «change your life in 7 days».

Mini-practices

Small CBT tools. They work better than «just calm down».

Box breathing

Four seconds per side. A minute or two — and your nervous system notices.

16 seconds per cycle

Anxiety: a 2-minute screening

7 questions from the GAD-7. Over the last two weeks, how often were you bothered by what I'm about to ask?

Mood journal

How are you today?

The road to practice

An honest timeline: where I am now and when you can book.
2022
5-year Master's in psychology

Enrolled thinking I'd read people like books. Mostly I read textbooks.

2024
Choosing an approach: CBT

It has protocols, research and homework. Yes, therapy has homework too.

2026
Practice at a therapy centreI'm here

Real patients, real supervision, real vending-machine coffee.

2028
Diploma

The final stretch, with a lot of Polish terminology.

Psychotherapy school and opening the practice

I enrol in a psychotherapy school and start seeing clients: Poland, offline and online. This site graduates from «fun stuff» to a practice.
