About me

Hello, my name is Kasia.

I am a certified psychodynamic therapist based in Rickmansworth.

There are many different reasons why people consider starting therapy,
but I believe that healing is always at the heart of this decision.

In my practice, I use a psychodynamic approach.

This means that together we explore the unconscious influences shaping how you feel, how you see yourself, and how you relate to others. At times, this process can feel challenging, but it can also be deeply meaningful and transformative.

Each session lasts 50 minutes. The fee for the initial consultation is £80, and subsequent therapy sessions are £75.

I offer sessions in both English and Polish.

If you have any questions about my practice, please feel free to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
