Borys Szumański

I am a psychologist, psychotherapist and psychoanalyst. I also offer couples therapy. I work with adolescents and adults — including people who have come to Poland from abroad and are looking for a therapist they can talk to in English. I offer sessions at my office in the centre of Poznań as well as online.

I graduated in Psychology from the Faculty of Psychology and Cognitive Science, and completed Interdisciplinary Doctoral Studies at the Faculty of Polish and Classical Philology, both at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. I specialise in clinical and cross-cultural psychology. At the University I run Intercultural Training for international students facing the difficulties of adaptation and acculturation — which is why, in my practice, I pay close attention to what it means to encounter difference: a new language, a new place, a new culture, and at times a new version of oneself.

I am a psychoanalyst of the Lacanian orientation, training with the Warsaw Circle of the New Lacanian School, and a psychotherapist in training at the Wielkopolska Society for Systemic Therapy. I bring my clinical work to regular supervision.
