Kasia

Hi, I am Kasia! My expertise is strongly rooted in child/person - centered

approaches to didactic and therapeutic processes. My professional journey

began over thirty years ago, and it has offered me the joy of being an

international teacher, consultant, leader, counselor, and family - child

therapist, in many countries around the globe. While working with “Third

Culture Kids” (TCK), I observed a particular pattern of emotional barriers to

learning and I decided to pursue my inquiry further. I undertook a post

graduate degree and became an accredited Play & Creative Arts Therapist.

The most difficult question for me to answer is: “Where are you from?” For

global nomads, that might mean all the countries they lived in, absorbed the

culture of, learned the languages of and made friendships in.

As for me personally, I grew up in two countries, in Poland and in the charming

region of Somerset in the UK. Throughout my adult life, I have considered all

the countries I lived in as home.

My current home is in the scenic area of Lake Como, Italy, on the border with

Switzerland.

• Play & Creative Arts Therapy: problematic behavior at school/home, learning

disabilities, illness, aggressive/angry behavior, coping with family issues,
