About me

My story

My name is Agnies Suik (full name: Agnieszka Palasz Suik).

Originally from Poland, I studied in Portugal and have since lived and worked in several countries. These experiences have shaped my perspective and deepened my appreciation of cultural diversity.

My own early childhood challenges and emotional sensitivity sparked a deep curiosity about the psychology and personal growth.

These experiences taught me firsthand how profoundly our early life shapes us—and inspired to help others navigate their own journeys.

Today, I am a certified trauma therapist trained in the Somatic Experiencing® method, as well as a crisis intervention specialist and mediator.

I continue to expand my knowledge in neuropsychology and trauma therapy, combining these insights with my lived experience to create a compassionate, safe, and empowering space for every client.

My mission is to guide my clients in reconnecting with the their deep purpose in life, and help in finding calmness, clarity, and joy in life.

I welcome everyone, regardless of culture, faith, or worldview.

My approach is gentle, personalized, and designed to help you navigate challenges, regulate your emotions, and build resilience.

I provide support in English, Polish and Portuguese

Working with adults and adolescents from age 16

My Approach

I combine Somatic Experiencing® with Solution-Focused Therapy to create a space where healing and growth can truly happen.

Somatic Experiencing® helps to release the effects of trauma and chronic stress stored in the body, while Solution-Focused Therapy empowers you to discover and harness your own unique strengths and resources.

My approach to understanding and communicating with others is rooted in a needs-centred perspective, shaped by my ongoing practice of Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication. This way of working supports a deeper awareness of what is alive in the moment — both within ourselves and in relationship — and allows for empathy, clarity and authentic connection to emerge naturally.

Education and Professional Experience

I completed postgraduate studies in Psychological Counselling and Crisis Intervention at the Institute of Psychology, The Maria Grzegorzewska University in Warsaw, Poland.

In 2025, I was awarded the international title of Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, recognising my three-year training as a trauma therapist in the Somatic Experiencing® method, by the European Association for Somatic Experiencing. I am also a member of the Polish Somatic Experiencing Association.

I have completed both the basic and advanced levels of Solution-Focused Therapy at the ,TSR Centre in Warsaw, Poland as well as an advanced course in Nonviolent Communication at the School of Empathy with Zofia Schacht-Petersen in Warsaw, Poland.

I have gained professional experience through participation in numerous conferences, training programmes, and workshops for therapists, as well as daily practice by conducting therapy sessions with adults, continually developing my skills and knowledge.

Testimonials

“Agnies is an incredible person—full of empathy, warmth, and inner calm. She provides a safe space where I can face my fears and work through the issues that matter most to me. Thanks to our work together, I have let go of many anxieties, reconnected with myself, gained clarity about what truly matters, and started enjoying life again.

The body-focused approach that Agnies offers has been a deeply healing experience for me, even helping to release tension-related pain. I am so grateful to have found her. The sessions with Agnieszka have provided me with immense support, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her.”

Natalia

“Agnies helped me through a major crisis. Not only was I able to overcome my difficulties, but I also learned, through her guidance, to be kinder to myself. With Agnies, I always felt understood, seen, and—most importantly—completely at ease. I learned how to treat myself better.

The work with Somatic Experiencing has brought significant changes to my life. I feel less tension and anxiety, and my previous feelings of paranoia have disappeared. I have learned to listen to my body’s signals and now have a healthier perception of myself. I am deeply grateful and truly recommend working with Agnieszka to anyone.”

Emilia

“I completed a six-month therapy with Agnieszka focusing on relationship issues, and I highly recommend her. She is a warm and trustworthy person who creates a comforting atmosphere during sessions, making it easy to open up and feel at ease.

I particularly appreciate her use of body-based and breath-focused techniques, which help to process and recognize emotions. I also valued being able to adjust the frequency of sessions to fit my schedule and needs. I have learned a lot that I am now putting into practice in my life, and I know that I can reach out to her again whenever I need support.”

Ela

“Aga is, above all, a very open and warm person, which made me feel safe with her very quickly. The knowledge and techniques she chose to help me work through my trauma took root in my body and allowed me to experience sensations and connections I had never felt before.

„I finally have full access to my emotions, and understanding and accepting them has brought me the peace and relief I had been longing for. I will always remain grateful to Aga for guiding me through this difficult process and for supporting me every step of the way.”

Magda

“Working with the body was a new experience for me. Through our sessions, I realized just how deeply thoughts, emotions, and the body are connected. I highly recommend it.”

Zuza

“Agnieszka is wonderful! Her sessions offered me support, understanding, and invaluable guidance.”

Katarzyna

“Meeting Agnies came at a very meaningful time in my life (though I didn’t realize it at first). From our very first session, I felt that she was the person I wanted to work with—I sensed the energy she brings and knew it was the right fit.

At the beginning, the sessions were not easy for me, as I didn’t know how to open up or fully trust. But thanks to the warm and supportive atmosphere she creates, I soon felt safe, cared for—knowing I was not alone, which was incredibly important for me.

Through working with Agnies, I have learned so much about myself, my emotions, and my feelings. I have gotten to know myself more deeply and continue to do so, discovering the joy of being present with my experiences. Most of all, I am grateful that I now look forward to every session—I no longer avoid what I feel or what has happened. I genuinely enjoy the process. Thank you so much, Agnieszka.”
