About me
I’m Magda, an NCPS-accredited integrative counsellor working with adults, teenagers (13+) and university students in St Andrews and online across the UK.
I support people experiencing trauma and PTSD, anxiety, stress, low mood, depression, relationship difficulties, academic pressure, low self-esteem, grief and significant life changes.
My approach is supportive, practical and straightforward. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, so I draw from different modalities, including person-centred therapy, CBT, ACT, attachment theory and trauma-informed methods, depending on what feels most helpful for you.
Trauma is a particular focus of my work. My own experience of PTSD following a serious car accident played a part in my decision to retrain as a counsellor and continues to shape the way I work with people affected by trauma.
Alongside my private practice, I also work with professional athletes through a consultant network of therapists supporting stakeholders of organisations including the Professional Footballers’ Association and the Injured Jockeys Fund.
I offer sessions in person in St Andrews and online via Zoom. You’re welcome to book a free 30-minute consultation to talk about what brings you to counselling, what you’re looking for, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
