Our mission
Misją Sunbirds jest wsparcie osób i par w odzyskaniu radości z życia oraz w umacnianiu poczucia własnej wartości.
How Sunbirds was founded?
Where did the idea for an online therapy center came from?
Why are we Sunbirds?
The terms Sunbird and Snowbird originated in the United States and refer to people migrating north or south, depending on their need for warmth or coolness. Hence - in translation - snow or sun bird. Our clients are just such wanderers and seekers of their space, another home, and sometimes themselves, in the most remote corners of the globe.
In Sunbirds, I also invite you to go on a journey. It connects two seemingly contradictory worlds - the world of heart and mind, logic and emotions. A bit different from the one you already know. One where no matter where you are, whether on a beautiful sandy beach in Bali or in frosty Scandinavia, at home or away, you can find inner consistency between what your emotions tell you and what logic suggests.

Anna Skrzypiec
psychologist MA, CBT therapist
My name is Anna Skrzypiec. Jestem magistrem psychologii i certyfikowaną psychoterapeutką CBT (terapii poznawczo-behawioralnej). W swojej pracy wykorzystuje również elementy Terapii Schematu oraz trzeciej fali CBT (ACT, DBT). Pracuje indywidualnie, w języku polskim i angielskim.
My education:
- Uniwersytet SWPS – „Psychology in English”
- Uniwersytet w Charleston, West Virginia, USA – “Psychology”
- 4-year CBT School
- Gottmann Institute for Couples Therapy - New York, USA
I work with adults who:
- adult child of alcoholic
- experience anxiety (phobia, GAD, OCD)
- zaburzeń depresyjnych (np. epizody depresyjne, zaburzenia afektywne dwubiegunowe, cyklotymia),
- issues with adjustment to a situation
- borderline personality disorder
- experience somatic symtoms
My mission is to support others on their way to a happy life. I greatly respect my patients for the effort they take in first applying for therapy and then attending meetings. I like to watch how tension and difficult emotions related to problematic situations are released, giving way to new and more pleasant experiences. It is a very interesting process that will not succeed without mutual commitment. I consider it a great privilege to witness/participate in making such important changes in another person's life.
Poza gabinetem: aktywnie spędzam czas, najczęściej na dworze – jeżdżąc konno lub na rowerze, pływając, żeglując lub spacerując po lesie – o ile pogoda na to pozwala 🙂
The two books I recommend to my clients are: "Chance is not everything" by Elliot Aronson and "Nonviolent Communication. About the language of life” Marshall B. Rosenberg

- because in a safe and comfortable online environment you can develop yourself, talk about problems that have been going on forever, but due to, for example, a clash of cultures, have intensified
- because you will have the feeling of being understood and heard by someone who is trained to help other people struggling with their mental health
