About me
As a Counselling Psychologist and psychotherapist, I believe in the possibility of change, and if you're here, it's because you're seeking that change. With over 15 years of experience, I've treated a variety of adult mental health issues in different settings, including the NHS and the private sector. I'm dedicated to using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Existential ideas, to help my patients address their psychological distress.
Therapy is a space to feel safe to share and to allow your feelings to be heard and understood. We will explore your problems and bring your challenges to the fore, imagining and creating a life where you are not only surviving but thriving.
As a Counselling Psychologist and a lecturer in Counselling Psychology, I have always maintained a delicate balance between my clinical work and academic responsibilities. This ensures that my practice is always informed by the latest research and best practices.
My counseling services are available in both English and Polish, ensuring that language is not a barrier to your mental well-being. I am committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for all.
