About me
Hi there
I guess things are not going so great for you, if you are here, browsing counsellors' profiles. I get it- sometimes life doesn’t go the way we hoped or expected. Life sucks, you think you have lost your wings and cannot fly again and that there is no way out.
The good news is that here is a way through, and you have just found it. Yes, you and you have done it by yourself- you’ve already taken the first brave step toward change. That’s something to be proud of - you’ve shown strength just by reaching out.
Well done for being here and trying to change your life for the better. I will help you with this, I will look after you. I will take you on an amazing journey, where you will see great things, visit interesting places and be able to go through big changes. At the end of the journey, you will be able to spread your wings and fly again.
Let's do it together, I am waiting for you. I am here for you.

ABOUT ME:
I am a bilingual (Polish/English) Counsellor, Therapist and Practitioner
I started my own counselling business 12 years ago, and I really enjoy working for myself and see clients in that setting. My practice was put on hold for some time, but I am back to game now and so excited to see clients again.
Over the past 12 years I was lucky enough to work in partnership with various organisations and companies, as well as individual clients. I have been running my own practice as well as being employed by amazing employers. All this has helped me to gain an amazing experience in so many areas, meaning that I can support my clients much better and help with many more issues.
A big part of my counselling career, about 5 years, was dedicated to people with a gambling addiction. I have been supporting them through their recovery and journey to a gambling free life.
This opportunity was possible thanks to my liaison with GamCare and Gordon Moody.
Not long ago, I had a great opportunity to work as a Mental Health Practitioner for NHS, for a while and support people with various mental health issues. This helped me to gain more experience on how to provide short time treatment and offer various tools and strategies to clients with mental health problems.
At the moment, I am fortunate enough to support survivors of domestic violence by offering my advice, guidance and support to them.
I have been working with a variety of issues and seen clients from various backgrounds and cultures. I am happy to support every client who is knocking on my door and give my all to the work I do.
MY WAY OF WORKING
At my practice I use a person-centred approach, which means for me, that every person is unique and have own potential to heal themselves and find their own solutions. I accept the client as a human being. I do not judge or criticise, I just listen to a client in a safe and confidential environment, full of trust, empathy and honesty.
By listening to the client, asking appropriate questions, reflecting back what I had heard, I can show my client a completely different point of view, I can help my client to look at all the problems from a different perspective, which will let the client to find own answers and solutions.
When needed, I am using different approaches, like a little bit of CBT or Solution Focused Therapy, as well as Art therapy or work with compassion and inner child.
In the counselling room, the comfort, safety and wellbeing of my client is my priority.
I am waiting for you, if you are ready to start this journey together, but please take your time, make sure you are ready and you choose the person that best matches your vibes.

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.
