STEFAN BAKER
systemic psychotherapist
I received my Masters degree in Systemic Psychotherapy from the Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust, and trained for 2 years beforehand at the Institute of Family Therapy in London. I have attended a number of Tavistock Group Relations Conferences, and also trainings by the Anna Freud Centre in Attachment, Parenting Approaches, and Motivational Interviewing. I have previous Masters degrees in philology and culture from the University of Cambridge and the University of London.
I have 7 years experience of working therapeutically with children, young people and families in social care systems and over 20 years experience of working with children and adolescents in various settings. I consult to professionals and teams involved in the care of children and young people and teach psychology students at the Warsaw University International School of Psychology and at SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
I work with family relationships, individuals, couples, children and adolescents with behavioural difficulties, and a range of other individual presentations including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma. I also work with questions of identity, migration, and cultural displacement, including couples with mixed cultural heritage. I have experience of working with people from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds. I submit my practice to regular supervision by a certified supervisor. I am a native English speaker and also practice in Polish and Spanish.
