Bogumila Malinowska (MBACP)

About me

My name is Bogumila.I see clients in two different places near Finsbury Park Station and 2 minutes walk from Crouch Hill station- both in N4.

My therapeutic work is based on modern Western psychotherapy methods and mindfulness/zen-the more intuitive ways. I consider my therapy approach as integrative-holistic.

I think that the we keep our mind can greatly affect our decisions, relationships, mental, emotional and physical condition, and chances in our day to day life. I believe that therapy should bring positive changes to our life from the very first session. My therapeutic work with individuals and people in relationships aims to help you resolve difficulties and work towards your hopes and aspirations.

I am aware that going to a therapy session for the first time may bring some level of anxiety. However, my clients say that they feel comfortable with me and my way of working from the very first session because I can create an atmosphere of understanding and simplicity. I am an active listener,very intuitive ,non judgemental,empathetic and mindful. I am not only a therapist but also an authorised mindfulness and zen teacher with over 35 years of experience leading short and long retreats in different countries including South Korea.

I have worked with difference and diversity in different ways. I recognise the impact of different forms of oppression on personal development, and on the chances that are available to people.

I am committed to working in anti-oppressive and inclusive ways. I am happy to work both short or longer term with people. Short-term work often involves specific issues and goals. This is also true for longer-term work, but can give way to a more free-flow exploration of issues as they arise.

I have worked in a number of settings, as a therapist including child protection, drugs, alcohol & drug addiction, sexuality & mental health settings. Different areas I deal with:

• anxiety
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD),-different types of OCD
• relationships
• work issues(abuses in the work place)
• depression
• panic attacks
• eating disorders
• Supporting clients going trough infertility process
• surviving of emotional abuse (gas lighting, silent treatment, narcissistic personality, passive aggressive behaviour etc.)
• self-harm
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
• guilt
• insomnia
• bereavement
• trauma
• low self-esteem
• physical and sexual abuse
• loss
• illness
• shame
• fear of change
• addictions - substances, emotional, behavioural, workaholic, sex, gambling, shopping, internet
• hoarding
• concentration
• feelings of emptiness and unclear life directions
• parental issues

During therapy sessions we focus on the moment and see the roots of patterns and problems.
