About me
I am an accredited psychodynamic psychotherapist with 21 years of experience. I have supported people with a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, loss, divorce, family issues, relationship issues, separation, abandonment, rejection, identity, work-life (bullying, harassment), parenting, personal growth & development.
I am qualified in Art and Music therapy and I speak English, Polish, French and Spanish fluently. I completed my postgraduate studies in psychodynamic psychotherapy in 2017, and three years later, I was awarded the European Certificate of Psychotherapy, a certificate of excellence.
I have also worked with clients with complex mental health needs including in psychiatric settings within the NHS. My main interest is the psychodynamic psychotherapy and I also offer humanistic, person-centred ways of working. I am recognised as a kind, compassionate, non-judgmental practitioner with an openness to providing tender care and support to those with mental health difficulties. My main strength is insight into a clients process and dynamics even if they are not always readily seen by yourself. I am reliable and willing to help anybody motivated to commit to therapy. I maintain continual professional development and my work is supervised within the UKCP Ethical Framework.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
