Żaneta Janiak

A graduate of psychology with special interest in community psychology, Żaneta is an expert in team dynamics and group behaviour. She is no stranger to working with people, having gained experience in a retail industry as a customer service specialist. She worked with both local and international clients, and learnt the inns and outs of telephone customer service.

Żaneta had the opportunity to put her expertise and passion for psychology to good use. As a volunteer at the Centre for Women’s Rights (CPK), she provided psychological support on the helpline for victims of domestic violence. Her interest in the nature of toxic relationships dates back to that experience. As a psychologist, she finds interpersonal relations a compelling avenue for further exploration, on a par with individual personality traits and types of temperament. Little wonder that her MA thesis looked into neuroticism and intimate relationships between persons representing diverse attachment patterns. She is also fascinated by mental disorders and their aetiology.

A woman of contradictions, she is an artist and a dreamer gifted with great analytical and data crunching skills. Beauty treatments and drawing are her favourite means of artistic expression; she loves indulging these two passions in her spare time. She rarely says no to a good crime story or science-fiction movie.

Her life motto is: your worst enemy is yourself.
