About me

I am Marta. I have lived in London for more than 15 years. I am Polish.

My goal is to offer an accepting and attentive space where difficult experiences can be explored with honesty and at depth. Above all, I believe therapy is based on a connection between a client and a therapist, grounded in trust and collaboration.

My own experience of therapy inspired me to train as a therapist and accompany others in their personal explorations. I find it deeply rewarding to sit alongside clients as they make sense of their experiences and discover a more fulfilling path forward. I know it can take a lot of effort to invite a stranger into the most intimate feelings and thoughts.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a person-centred psychotherapist.

Person-centred therapy focuses on the client and their individual experience, rather than the therapist's external interpretation and analysis of their life. It is very collaborative.

I can offer you a confidential, non-judgmental therapeutic space where we can together explore what is currently causing you challenges and blocking you from having a more fulfilling life. In this accepting environment, you can look at your past thoughts, feelings and actions. I hope this can empower you to create change for your future.

Therapy can be a powerful experience, but I commit to walk through this experience alongside you.
