About me

I am a qualified counsellor. I offer an empathic and non-judgemental space where you can explore your difficulties. We can take a look at your past and get more understanding of how it influences your present thinking, feeling and behaviour. I am interested in what you want to change and will go alongside you to achieve it.

I hold a Diploma in Counselling using Transactional Analysis. Transactional Analysis is a humanistic approach which main principles are that everyone is OK, we all have capacity to think and change is possible. I am also a believer in non-violent communication and often use this approach in my work.

I am a trauma-informed counsellor, and my practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive. I have experience of working with neurodiverse individuals, particularly ADHD. 

I am bilingual (Polish and English). I have lived and worked in two cultures for over twenty years which I find incredibly enriching and constantly providing opportunities for learning, discovery and development.
