History

Why Liberté was founded.

The Institute was founded by Karolina - after more than a decade working in management roles in the corporate world and after experiencing her own burnout. The decision to change course was not a symbolic gesture; it was a consequence of the fact that the quick help available on the market at the time could not match the scale of the problem.

Liberté was created as a place where the therapeutic process is treated as a craft: a contract, supervision, measurable standards of work. No promises of relief after a few sessions, no reducing the conversation to a breathing technique.

Our clients are most often people who have previously used shorter forms of help and are looking for a place where they can work more deeply, without shortening the process to an operational goal.

Values

Non-negotiable.

Five principles that organize the work of the Institute.

  • 01

    Team qualifications

    Every person leading a process holds a master's degree in psychology and has completed at least the second year of a four-year psychotherapy training accredited by the Polish Psychological Association (PTP). This standard is not negotiable.

  • 02

    Safety and discretion

    An office in a townhouse, a separate entrance, documentation and communication handled with care for confidentiality. The Institute does not publish clients' stories nor uses their presence as marketing material.

  • 03

    Rigor and effectiveness

    Work based on current clinical guidelines and ongoing supervision by certified PTP supervisors. Collaboration with psychiatrists whenever the clinical picture requires pharmacological consultation.

  • 04

    Value over client retention

    If the right step is a referral to a psychiatrist, to a different approach, or to another member of our team, we say so directly, even if it means ending our work together. The decision remains with the client.

  • 05

    Honesty and confrontation with care

    The therapist's role is not merely to affirm the client's perspective. A session is also a place to see one's own pattern from the outside - in a frame that neither judges nor hides.
