Agata Algierska
I am a psychotherapist, working for many years in the fields of psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, as well as a trauma therapist. My approach is enriched by Somatic Experiencing® techniques and the SOMA method, which allow for a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection in the healing process.
My professional path has been intertwined with my spiritual path for years. As a Medicine Woman and shamanic practitioner, I draw on the wisdom of indigenous traditions, which have always been close to me and which constantly inspire me. I organize and co-lead transformative pilgrimages to Peru and Colombia, as well as—with Anad Rudra, a friend and tantra teacher—trips to Mexico and Egypt. These journeys are more than just sightseeing—they are deep, inner work that connects participants with the ancestral knowledge and the nature of their own spirituality.
What’s closest to my heart is accompanying people through the process of self-discovery, moments of breakthrough, and profound transformation. I believe that each of us has infinite healing potential. I am inspired by restoring the memory of this profound wisdom that lies within us, beyond fear, tension, and the stories that limit us. I support them in discovering who they truly are so that they can fully live in harmony with themselves and the world.
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
Emotional support sessions with Agata Algierska are a way of being with someone when they are going through something difficult and are struggling to fully manage their emotions. It’s a presence that doesn’t judge, rush, or impose solutions, but rather gives us space to say, “This is important to me.”
Emotional support creates a sense of not being alone—that someone sees us, hears us, and takes our feelings seriously. Simply being heard can bring relief and help us organize our thoughts. Often, it’s not about finding an immediate solution, but about being able to safely experience what’s happening within us.
Emotional support doesn’t replace psychotherapy or medical treatment, but it can have a real impact on our well-being. It builds a sense of connection, strengthens us, and sometimes opens new perspectives. However, it doesn’t guarantee that problems will be resolved—and that’s not its purpose.
The most important aspect of providing support is non-judgmental mindfulness and presence. The goal is to make the other person feel seen, heard, and cared for. Even if the situation doesn’t change, such support can prevent stress from building and help you navigate difficult moments more smoothly.
During the festival, we invite you to short, 15-20-minute crisis sessions—a space to pause, examine your difficulties, and see what support might be helpful for you.
INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY SESSIONS
For those who want to go a step further, I also offer paid in-depth sessions—focused on a deeper understanding of the situation and regulating the nervous system.
