As an Integrative Counsellor, I blend elements of different modalities, such as Person-centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Attachment theory, but also Neuroscience, Mindfulness and Creative therapy.  I am passionate about the mind-body connection and how movement, nutrition, environment, breathwork and nature can impact our mental health. 

With non-judgemental, down to earth and compassionate approach I emphasise a safe container, where you will be invited to explore your thoughts, feelings and our tune into your body.

What inspired me to become a therapist?

​

​​My desire to become a counsellor stemmed from ​my own experience of being supported in therapy.  I gained self-awareness understanding my relational patterns, and how my history affected both my emotional and physical well-being in the present. I learnt strategies to help me in challenging moments of my life. Therapy empowered me to create positive changes in my relationship with myself, others, and the world around me.

 

​I have always been interested in the unseen and what drives our actions and behaviours. Growing up in different family models, moving countries and political systems gives me insight and knowledge of the intrinsic complexities of human existence and relationships. I have a deep interest in how culture, language, and identity (race, sexuality, gender) intersect and influence our view of the world. I welcome people from many different backgrounds, cultures and different relational styles.

 

​​I worked in the creative business sector before pursuing my counselling diploma, and I continue to be active in a variety of creative initiatives both in the UK and abroad.

​​​

I am bilingual and offer therapy in both English or Polish.

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
