BUILD RESILIENCE AND A SENSE OF BELONGING!
Support group for foreigners living in Kraków
A professional support group for foreigners living in Krakow, either permanently or temporarily. Meetings in English, led by a psychologist. For people who feel lonely, are adapting to life in a new country, and need safe, professional support.
Who is this group for?
Life in a new country brings both new opportunities and significant challenges: loneliness, stress, lack of support network, cultural differences.
This group is for you if:
- you are a foreigner living in Poland,
- you feel overwhelmed, lost, or “between cultures”,
- you want to talk with people who truly understand your situation,
- you need professional psychological support.
Benefits of joining the group
- emotional support
- shared experiences
- a sense of belonging
- better stress management
- practical knowledge about emotions and adaptation
- resilience
Who runs the support group?
The group is run by Agnieszka Mesterhazy, a psychologist and a practitioner of Motivational Interviewing. She has personal experience living abroad as a foreigner, which helps her better understand the challenges of adapting to a foreign country.
Why does a psychologist run this group?
These meetings are more than casual conversations. Each session has a clear structure and safe guidelines, and the psychologist helps to:
- understand and organize your emotions,
- cope with stress and loneliness,
- strengthen your mental resilience,
- build healthy boundaries and a sense of personal agency.

Got questions?
Well, we've got
answers
No. A communicative level is enough — this is a safe space, and nobody judges your accent or mistakes.
We are currently collecting applications. Consultations and qualification meetings are planned for February 2026, and the group is expected to start in March 2026. Sessions will take place on Saturday mornings.
You will be informed about the exact start date during your first meeting with the psychologist, provided that the psychologist assesses group support as appropriate for you.
The consultation usually lasts about 30 minutes and takes place in English directly with the psychologist running the group. The specialist will talk with you about your needs, motivation, and any difficulties you may have.
After the consultation, a decision is made regarding your eligibility to join the group. It may also happen that the psychologist recommends individual support if it turns out to be more appropriate and safe for you.
You only share what you feel comfortable with. The psychologist ensures the comfort and safety of every participant.
The group has a closed format with 6–8 participants, so we cannot replace you with a new person during the cycle.
Withdrawal during the cycle:
We do not provide refunds for unused sessions — leaving the group disrupts the group process and makes it impossible to maintain the full group composition, which the cost calculation is based on.
Withdrawal before the start:
A refund is possible no later than one week before the first meeting, and only if there is someone on the waiting list to take the vacant spot. In that case, we refund the fee minus a 10% organizational cost deduction.
To prevent withdrawals during the cycle, it is recommended to openly discuss your needs during the initial consultation.
