About me
I am a fully qualified, English and Polish speaking, psychotherapist in a private practice. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their ethical framework. As required by the BACP, I am in supervision myself and I am covered by professional liability insurance.
I offer confidential, face to face psychotherapy to individuals (adults), couples and groups covering a wide range of issues, both long and short term. I work with a person-centred approach developed by Carl Rogers. Person-centred counselling is relationship based and its core principles are authenticity, acceptance and empathy. It is non-directive in the sense that you, as the client, decide what you want to discuss, and I will move at your own pace. You are the expert in what feels the most troubling and I, as your therapist, provide an empathic, accepting, genuine space for you to be fully heard.
Jestem w pełni wykwalifikowaną, polskojęzyczną terapeutką, prowadzącą prywatną praktykę. Jestem zarejestrowana z Brytyjskim Towarzystwem Doradztwa i Psychoterapii (BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) i pracuję zgodnie z ich zasadami etycznymi. Zgodnie z wymaganiami BACP moją pracę terapeutyczną poddaję regularnej superwizji; jestem również ubezpieczona od odpowiedzialności zawodowej. Oferuję psychoterapię indywidualną dorosłych, terapię par, rodzinną oraz grupową, zarówno krotko- jak i długoterminową, z zachowaniem pełnej poufności. Prowadzę terapię skoncentrowaną na osobie stworzoną przez Carla Rogers'a (person-centred therapy, terapia rogeriańska). Terapia ta oparta jest na relacji terapeuty z klientem, a jej główne założenia to autentyczność relacji, akceptacja i empatia. Jest to podejście "nie kierunkujące", tzn. że to klient decyduje, nad czym chce pracować i to on/ona nadaje tempo pracy terapeutycznej. To klient jest ekspertem, w tym co go/ją najbardziej gnębi, a terapeuta tworzy empatyczną, akceptującą i autentyczną przestrzeń, w której klient jest w pełni rozumiany.

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.
