About me

Welcome – Your Journey to Mental Well-being Starts Here

With over a decade of experience in mental health and emotional well-being, I am a passionate and highly qualified psychologist, CBT-integrative therapist, clinical supervisor, and project manager. I specialise in supporting individuals and couples through some of life’s most challenging emotional struggles—helping you move from distress to clarity, from overwhelm to strength.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, or relationship difficulties, I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach tailored to your unique needs. My mission is simple: to help you take back control of your mental health and empower you to live a more balanced, meaningful life.

What You Can Expect
I create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours at your own pace. Using an integrative framework grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I adapt each session to support your personal goals and growth.

Whether you're seeking short-term guidance or longer-term support, I provide:

Individual therapy
Couple therapy
Online and face-to-face sessions
Focused work on relapse prevention, self-worth, trauma recovery, and emotional resilience

Your Next Step
Reaching out for help is a courageous first step—and you don’t have to do it alone. If you're ready to start your journey toward healing and personal growth, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, expertise, and unwavering support.

Building on my experience with individuals affected by brain injuries, I am dedicated to offering specialised therapeutic support tailored to the unique needs of these clients and their families. My approach focuses on helping clients manage emotional challenges, behavioural changes and cognitive adjustments following brain injuries. I also work closely with families, providing guidance and strategies to support their loved ones’ rehabilitation while addressing the emotional impact on the family as a whole. My goal is to facilitate a supportive, empowering environment that fosters resilience and a path toward improved quality of life.

Further information

Beyond therapy, I am actively involved in mental health education and advocacy, working to destigmatize mental health issues and raise awareness on a community level. My work with organisations such as the East European Resource Centre and the Polish Psychologists Association reflects my commitment to providing accessible mental health support to diverse populations, particularly for those affected by hate crimes, domestic violence, and other forms of trauma.

On a personal note, I believe in the importance of a balanced life and strive to incorporate mindfulness, physical activity, and ongoing learning into my own routine. My interests include yoga, cycling, reading, and travelling, all of which help me maintain a grounded and refreshed perspective, allowing me to bring my best self to my clients.

If you’re seeking a therapist dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges and develop a greater sense of peace, resilience, and self-worth, I would be honoured to support you on your journey to well-being. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a consultation.
