About

I help couples fix what has broken — and feel close again.

Our closest relationships affect our lives more than almost anything else. When a relationship is struggling, everything feels harder. I became a relationship coach because I believe most couples are not failing — they are carrying old hurts that nobody ever showed them how to fix.

Why I do this work.

I grew up in Szczecin, Poland, without many examples of genuinely happy relationships around me. I watched people I loved struggle — and I felt it myself, in relationships that were difficult or simply wrong. That experience made me curious rather than cynical. I wanted to understand what actually makes a relationship work over the long term.

For years I worked as an architect. When I decided to change direction, it was not a detour — it was the most deliberate decision I have made. I wanted to do work that I believed in at the deepest level, and I had come to believe that nothing shapes a life more than the relationships at the centre of it.

"Most couples are not fighting because they don't love each other. They are fighting because unresolved resentments have made it feel unsafe to connect."

I trained as a relationship coach and found in the work of Dr Wyatt Fisher a method that matched exactly what I had come to believe: that resentments are the root issue, and that resolving them — systematically and calmly — is what allows everything else to change.

Now I am a wife and a mother. My husband is Italian, and I understand from the inside what it takes to build a strong relationship across different cultures, languages, and expectations. I know how much daily effort genuine connection requires — and how quickly that effort pays off when you have the right tools.

I work with couples who are stuck, who are hurting, and who still care enough to try. My approach is structured and practical — not open-ended talking, but a clear process with a clear direction. I am not here to analyse your childhood. I am here to help you resolve what has built up between you, and to show you how to keep building something better.

Sessions are available in English and Polish. I work with couples worldwide — wherever you are, we can meet online.

What I Believe

Three convictions that shape how I work.

01

Resentments are the root

Most relationship conflict is not really about what couples argue about. It is about the old unresolved hurts underneath — the moments when feelings got hurt or needs went unmet and nothing was done about it. Resolve those, and the arguments change completely.

02

Conflict is not the enemy

Couples who never argue are not necessarily happier — they often just avoid difficult conversations. Conflict handled well is one of the best ways to understand each other more deeply. The goal is not to stop disagreeing — it is to stop fighting against each other and start solving things together.

03

Structure creates safety

People open up when they feel safe. And they feel safe when there is a clear, calm structure around a difficult conversation. My background as an architect taught me that good structure is what makes something last. The same is true in relationships — and in the sessions I run.

Career change from architecture

I left a career in architecture to become a relationship coach — because I believe the quality of our closest relationships shapes everything.

Multicultural perspective

I am Polish, my husband is Italian — I understand first-hand the dynamics of couples navigating love and conflict across different languages and cultures. I work with couples across Europe and beyond.

Why the method matters

There is a lot of relationship advice out there — most of it well-meaning, very little of it systematic. What drew me to Dr Wyatt Fisher's approach is how clear it is: resentments are identified, worked through one at a time, and resolved. Not talked about forever. Actually resolved.

This is what makes the intensive format possible — and what makes it effective. Three hours of focused, methodical work achieves what months of open-ended sessions often do not.
