The online lecture brought together students, teachers and practicing psychologists interested in professional development and shaping their own professional trajectory.

The guest lecturer was Marta Pryriz – a psychotherapist, supervisor in a multimodal approach, and mentor. The lecturer has a master’s degree in couple and family psychotherapy (USA), specialization in narrative therapy and experience of clinical work in St. Louis (Missouri). She works in private practice, is an organizational supervisor of the Right to Protection Foundation, and collaborates with international organizations and companies, including Booking, Radio Liberty, Mercy Corps, DRC, HIAS, IRC and others.

The event was attended by teachers, bachelors, master’s students and postgraduate students majoring in “Social Work”, “Social Work and Counseling” and “Psychology”.

The lecture considered the key principles of building ethical professional activity, the issues of forming professional identity, adhering to ethical standards in working with clients, as well as strategies for developing a successful private practice. Particular attention was paid to the role of supervision, professional support and continuous learning as integral components of high-quality psychological care.

Participants had the opportunity to ask questions, discuss practical cases and receive valuable recommendations on starting and developing their own practice in modern conditions.

The meeting became an important platform for professional dialogue, exchange of experience and broadening ideas about international standards of psychological care.

We sincerely thank Ms. Marta Pryriz for a meaningful lecture, openness to dialogue and inspiration for professional growth!
