About me
Hi, my name is Karolina, I am a Humanistic counsellor and therapist, offering sessions exclusively online or via telephone. Clients come to therapy for different reasons. You might feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or just have a feeling that something is not right. You don't have to face these challenges alone. I strive to create a welcoming, warm, and safe space, where we can explore how you can develop more adaptive thoughts, feelings and behaviours and learn more about yourself.
My therapeutic style is centred around compassion, respect and empathy, and I value working collaboratively to support your growth and healing. I work within the humanistic approach, where I believe that each client is the expert on themselves. I am here for you to help hold whatever you wish to bring to the therapy, help you to explore your feelings; not just about presenting issues in your life, but whatever you desire to bring. I can help you increase awareness of what is important to you and realize ways that your strategies to cope might not serve you anymore. I work relationally, where I believe we can create a space together where all the healing and growth can happen. I strive to help you to see choices where you might not have seen them before because I believe that greater choices can help you become more authentic.

I have also volunteered for a low-cost counselling charity supporting people who have experienced depression, anxiety, alcoholism and low self-esteem to name a few. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), which means I follow their standards and ethical framework.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
