Rapidly changing environment around us, uncertainty, speed of life, and high expectations are the new norm.
Sometimes even minor annoyance can derail an otherwise ‘good’ afternoon or relationship. Therapy helps to develop a better understanding of ourselves and to feel more empowered to respond to current challenges in life. 

Mind Training

Psychology proves that through developing both BODY and MIND, we get to know our skills and abilities, we accept our capabilities and limitations, and above all we deepen the understanding about how we can become better at who we are.

We begin to understand why we made this move and this decision, why sometimes we run ahead on a full speed to meet the challenge and sometimes leave with eyes wildly open thinking that this is not the right moment.

Our mind is the creator and the body is the performer.

FOR WHO?

Sport psychology is for every person who is motivated, who is committed to process of change, who is curious of inner development and who knows that practice is the key to success. The individual sessions are dedicated to athletes and coaches, to those who train to compete in sports, both at professional and amateur levels.

Ongoing cooperation with structured Individual sessions or Workshops followed by the semi-formal work.

    Aquatics Director, Head coach at the FINA “Targeting Rio”, Spain

    ,,It has been a pleasure to have Beata working with us and the FINA “Targeting Rio” program, implementing mental training.”

    It has been a pleasure to have Beata working with us and the FINA “Targeting Rio” program, implementing mental training. The team practiced how to have a positive attitude while maintaining a high level of concentration, self-motivation and positive self-talk exercises. Setting individual and group goals helped the team find more satisfaction in daily preparations for the Olympic Games. Beata’s cooperative personality and wide compromise to her career and, particularly, her unique interpersonal skills, that transforms her from a normal worker to a team builder, make her a desirable person in any kind of team, and therefore it is a pleasure and I feel honored to write this recommendation.

    Teacher, XXVI LO Poznań, Poland

    ,,I would definitely recommend working with Beata Justkowiak.”

    The workshops conducted by Beata were full of dynamism and met with favorable reactions from the participants. Each session gave students (football players) opportunity to look at various aspects of being a sportsperson with all the challenges related to preparations and final performance. I would definitely recommend working with Beata Justkowiak. During the period of time when Beata was running workshops for my students I got to know her as reliable, conscientious and responsible. She is an excellent listener, observer and speaker with ability to attract attention of a group. All the meetings were fully customized to current needs of the participants.
