About me
Have you spent years trying to keep up, fit in, or work out why everyday life feels so hard?
Has discovering that you are ADHD or autistic, or wondering whether you might be, changed how you understand yourself?
A late diagnosis can bring relief, alongside grief, anger and questions about who you are. You may begin to recognise how much effort has gone into fitting in, meeting expectations or hiding parts of yourself.
You might appear capable while feeling overwhelmed or never quite good enough. Getting everything right, keeping others happy or pushing beyond your limits may have become familiar ways of coping. Saying no can feel difficult, and rest may come with guilt.
I’m Agnieszka, also known as Aggie, a BACP registered counsellor offering online therapy for adults. My particular focus is working with late-diagnosed ADHD and autistic people, including those exploring whether they may be neurodivergent.
Together, we can explore these experiences and make room for your needs. I also work with chronic illness, anxiety, depression, relationship changes and questions of identity, including how these can overlap with neurodivergence.
What it is like to work with me.
I bring warmth, curiosity and my own lived experience of late-diagnosed ADHD and chronic illness. This informs my understanding, while leaving room for your experience to be different from mine.
You don’t need to have everything worked out before we begin. There is room to be unsure, to struggle to find words, or to tell me when something doesn’t fit. We can take time to understand what matters to you.
My approach is relational and grounded in Transactional Analysis. In everyday terms, this means exploring how your experiences and relationships have shaped the way you see yourself, and noticing patterns that once helped you cope but may now be making life harder.
I will listen carefully, ask questions, share reflections and, when useful, gently challenge patterns we notice together. Our work can help you understand yourself, soften self-criticism, communicate your needs and find more choice in your relationships.
Alongside talking, we may use metaphors, images, creative exploration or notice how emotions and stress feel in your body. We will decide together what feels useful, taking account of your energy, pace and ways of processing.
Getting in touch
I offer online sessions via Zoom. We can discuss any adjustments that would help you feel comfortable and take part in therapy.
You are welcome to contact me with questions or a little about what brings you here. You don’t need to organise your thoughts neatly or find the perfect words. We can start where you are.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
