About me

Hello and a warm welcome. My name is Justyna and I am an approved Counsellor and Psychotherapist and a member of NCPS.

Have you ever experienced any challenging times in your life which resulted in lack of self-worth, or low confidence, anxiety, depression? Have you ever felt stuck in your life? Counselling can be a great tool, which you can use to process your challenges in a safe space, being supported by me throughout the process, and at your pace. I appreciate though that, at times, reaching out requires a lot of courage and one needs to be ready for it. I strongly believe that it is the client-counsellor relationship which makes the therapy work. Therefore, finding the right counsellor with whom you will feel comfortable to share your thoughts and your feelings is very crucial, and it may be the first step when considering counselling. 

Even though I believe that all the answers to improve your well-being are within you, as a counsellor, I would like to help you to find those answers through a safe, non-judgemental space, in which you will be at the centre of your work, so you will feel heard and understood. Through a relationship based on trust, we will explore your experiences, and I will inform you about the strategies and tools that you can implement in your daily life to face any challenges coming your way. I am a pluralistic counsellor, which means that I will use different approaches at different times and that I may integrate those approaches to give you the best experience of therapy. Being aware that each one of us is a unique individual, you will be involved in a therapy (shared-decision making) and I will tailor my style towards your needs.
