Email meAbout me
I help clients to achieve all their goals in order to live happy,free of worries and meaningful life,taking off the roots of the life patterns, breaking through fear and anxiety,addictions,go from codependent to independent.While it's easy to take things personally, you should never let anyone's perceptions or actions affect how you see yourself or your worth. Your life is personal to you, and it is up to you to influence your own value and sense of well-being.
Going to a therapy session for the first time may bring some level of anxiety. 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, openness, and simplicity with no judgment.
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 have worked in a number of settings, as a therapist including addiction to drugs,alcohol and other types of addiction, sexuality and mental health settings.Social injustices affecting work and relationships are the areas of my interest. STruggles in management level.Many of my clients tend to come to me for help with their different relationships including love relationship ,self esteem,self image and work-related issues,childhood trauma.
How can counselling help you?
I help you to see what is holding you back and overcome hindrances.
I think that the way we keep our mind can greatly affect our decisions, relationships, mental, emotional and physical condition, and changes 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 was said that after therapy session clients feel freed from self judgment,negative thoughts and very uplifted and inspired to further work and development.
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.
How many sessions will I need?
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.
During therapy sessions, we focus on the moment and see the roots of patterns and problems.
Where do I work from?
I am now working across three locations.
I offer my therapeutic counselling from Stroud Green Rd N4 3PX and Crouch Hill Rd N4 4BY at Brickworks Community Centre. This is for one to one and family therapy.
I also provide my Skype service from Crouch Hill N4 4BY. All three places are well located in London with tube, overground and bus connections.
*I am fluent in Polish and understand Russian and similar Slavic languages.
*Reduced fees are available for the unemployed, clients with low income and students.
