About Me

Life sometimes seems unpredictable, chaotic, maybe even disorganised, too difficult to cope on your own... Complicated situations, unpredicted life events, traumas can leave us in despair, depressed and anxious. It will interfere with our ability to grow, change and love.

You know that you want to make some changes but you don't know how to get there. Maybe it is too difficult for you to express what you think or feel but together we can discover new possibilities, your hidden strengths and your inner wisdom that will reshape your mind to one that works for you, not against you.

Are you feeling like loosing control over things or being hopeless? Maybe you are feeling often on edge, restless and irritable? Your negative thoughts are exhausting and can easily overwhelm you? Are you terrified by the physical symptoms you are experiencing?

Therapy helps to develop and increase your self-awareness of the unconscious processes. Making unconscious processes conscious we will open the path towards your ongoing change and growth. With this enhanced understanding and deeper insight, life satisfaction will be in a reach of your hand as you will have a chance to uncover subconscious blockages, self-limiting beliefs and deal with them to eventually achieve all your goals and lead a happier, more fulfilled life full of love and gratitude.

You will have a confidential space to talk openly, away from your home and day-to-day distractions. I offer face-to-face psychotherapy in a nicely furnished, calming, comfortable room where you will have a space to tell your story and a chance to explore your thoughts and feelings, impulses and behaviours, being accepted as you are, respected with all your differences, challenged if needed but never judged.

We can make together a sense of your past and present experiences. Exploring more in depth your life difficulties you will realise how your current situation mirrors you early life experiences.
Childhood events, mainly traumatic ones, have an ongoing impact on us and influence our emotions, behaviour and choices. You will have a close look at familiar repetitive patterns in your life and you get my help with making changes you really want. We will address together short and long-term goals and explore difficulties which leaded you to seek for the therapy and support.

ABOUT MY APPROACH

I am a qualified and UKCP accredited psychodynamic psychotherapist with a Membership in a College of Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis. I entered the Analytic College via Forum for Independent Psychotherapists. My main modality is psychodynamic, although I work with my clients in different ways using more integrative approach and combining different therapeutic styles with art, music therapy and body awareness work.

Respecting your individuality and uniqueness I will choose the best approach to meet your needs. I am known from building safe and satisfactory therapeutic alliance with clients. I am warm, empathic, and compassionate but I can also challenge you if needed. My twenty years working as a psychotherapist experience gave me a confidence that everybody can overcome emotional difficulties in order to live the life fulfilled with love, compassion and inner harmony.

My ongoing supervision and personal development, together with the training as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, allow me to maintain professional standards of therapeutic work with clients. I adhere to the UKCP Ethical Code of Practice. As well as running my own private practice I am a part of the Diploma Course Tutors Team for counsellors in training, facilitating experiential groups for Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling students. I am also holding European Certificate of psychotherapy, the certificate of excellence in my profession.

There is 20 minutes telephone call in my offer which is free of charge. During the phone conversation you can voice your worries, doubts, and goals for the therapy. You will have a chance to ask me about the therapy model I think will suit best your needs. I work with my clients offering both; short and long term psychotherapy. The duration we can discuss at our initial session. I will work seeing you once a week for 50 minutes session.
