About me
Hello, welcome!
My name is Radka and I am a Hackney-based Gestalt Therapist (MBACP). I provide Gestalt counselling to individuals over 18.
I trust in the present embodied awareness-building through dialogue. I'm interested in how you make meaning and how we are together in our individual intersectionality and diversity. I'm warm and open and would love to support you in becoming curious about your own process. I facilitate a place for relationally digesting, noticing, staying with, chewing on, or playing with whatever it is that carries weight for you. I look at the world through my own biased intersectional lens and I come in with humility and curiosity to learn about your experience of being you in the world as I strive to recognise your different parts and your context. To me, there's no such thing that "goes without saying" as I acknowledge everyone's uniqueness and the impact of systemic and structural inequality in our society.
FOUNDATIONS FOR MY PRACTICE:
- Honesty
- Cultural humility
- Transcultural competence
- Human Diversity Celebrating
- LGBTQIA+ affirmative
- Anti-racist
- Anti-capitalist
- Anti-ableist
- Otherness embracing
- Immigrant and neurodivergence affirmative
- Bodymind attentive
- Trauma-informed
- Healing power of interpersonal connection and the collective
I have supported clients with being with a range of mental health struggles such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self esteem, relationship/ family / work issues, etc. I have helped exploring different elements and intersections of clients’ identities (sexual, gender, belonging and race, relationship /partnership styles including ethical non-monogamy/ open-/ poly lifestyles.) I have also supported the exploration and affirmation of my clients’ neurodivergence / (often undiagnosed) non-neurotypical ways of being.

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.

Further information
I work in-person in Hackney or online and offer individual weekly 50-minute-long therapy. I abide by the BACP’s Ethical Framework. I’m committed to my continuous professional development and attend ongoing supervision.
Find out more about my values, intersectional identities, accessibility and the work we can embark on together at intherapywithradka.com.
I encourage you to get in touch with me via email or the contact form to enquire about my current availability. This contact could help you gauge how you feel in our written communication.
Subsequently, I offer a free non-binding 15-minute Google Meet consultation for us to e-meet and see whether we could work together. This meeting supports you in making a decision about whether or not I’m the right therapist for you and whether you’d like to entrust me with your therapeutic process. This is also the time when you can ask me any additional questions.
I offer short-term and open-ended therapy with regular check-ins. Growing awareness of one’s way of being, exploring patterns and different parts of you, and developing self-compassion takes time and I’d most certainly recommend at least six sessions to begin with.
The first step of the work is an initial assessment and contracting to offer you a focused and intentional space for the exploration of your issues. I strive to be as transparent as possible in how I work to offer you a clearly defined boundaried space for your therapy.
