If you feel that you need any support, you are welcome to contact me.

I am an experienced, qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor. It means I can use approaches which best suits each client needs. I pay attention to unconscious processes and what is being held in client's body. I also believe that therapeutic relationship is crucial in making change in your perception of environment and how you relate to others. Thinking, sensing, intuiting, feeling are all given great importance within the therapeutic relationship. And it is important for me to create warm, confidential, safe and empathetic environment where client will feel comfortable to share their problems, without being judged or criticised.

Therapy can help to:

-deepen your understanding of yourself to gradually heal patterns of relating that are holding you back from the intimacy that you want

-learn to communicate your feelings and needs more effectively

-gain greater awareness how past impact your present

-grow your confidence, self-esteem

-gain different perspective of your experiences and environment

-to relieve your emotional pain

-to overcome fear, anxiety

-to live more balanced and peaceful life

I offer relational approach to therapy. Main approaches in my work are: Psychodynamic, Object-relations, Transactional Analysis. I integrate Gestalt and I can use some body work exercises. I am also trained in CBT and I can apply some techniques when appropriate.

Counselling is not only about listening to stories told by a client, but also helping a client to find a way to tolerate his/her feelings, experiences. To achieve this I can work in a creative way with clients and I can use some therapeutic tools or give some homework.

I have worked with clients from different background and presenting with a wide range of issues, such as: cancer, abuse, trauma, panic attacks, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, having relationships, work problems.

Alongside my private practice I have also experience at:

Macmillan Cancer Support,

Woman & Health - charity delivering NHS IAPT services,

EACH - charity delivering Counselling to people having drug and alcohol problems.
