About me
Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck in the same painful patterns?
You might be finding it hard to trust after being let down. Maybe you feel like you can’t express your needs, or you’re constantly second-guessing yourself. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it all on your own.
I’m Birgitta, an integrative counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist based in London. I help adults and teenagers who feel anxious, lost or emotionally drained reconnect with their confidence, rebuild their self-worth, and create healthier relationships - with others and with themselves.
My clients often come to me searching for help with:
• Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
• Low self-esteem or self-doubt
• Relationship difficulties and people-pleasing
• Narcissistic abuse and trauma
• Life transitions like divorce, career change or loss
Our work together is gentle but powerful. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, without fear of judgment. I use a tailored blend of modalities to support deep emotional healing and long-term change.
Reaching out might feel scary, but it could be the most empowering step you take and it begins with a conversation.
My aim is to cultivate a relationship that is based on trust in an environment that is warm, attentive and non-judgmental. Somewhere you can express yourself freely, in full confidentiality and at a pace that suits you. You don’t have to walk this path alone.

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.

Further information
I offer a free 15-minute initial phone consultation that allows you to ask me any questions you may have about the process of therapy and to ensure that I'm the right person to help you. It is not a session.
During the phone consultation, we will discuss what has brought you to therapy and what you would like to get out of it. If you decide you want to work with me, we can then discuss further sessions.
