About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ (MÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ). I follow Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ ethical guidelines to ensure confidentiality and professional service. I have regular clinical supervision and undertake regular professional development.How I work

I work collaboratively with clients.

I hope to support you in exploring your feelings and thoughts without the fear of judgement or rejection.

I believe that by providing a supportive therapeutic environment I can help you to find your own resources and ways to move forward in difficult times.

I strive to help you to know yourself better and to accept yourself for who you are.

I believe that everyone is a unique and valuable individual with a capacity and potential for personal growth and positive change. My aim is to offer you an environment where this growth and change can happen.

I hope that my way of working will help you feel heard, understood and valued, rather than offering advice and ready-made solutions.

I could help you to understand how your unique life experiences have shaped you, what patterns you have created based on those experiences and how it all relates to your present challenges.

We may also uncover and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that may be preventing you from living a fulfilled life.

This process may take time and at times may not be an easy journey, but I hope that it will ultimately facilitate internal change that will allow you to feel more in charge of your own life.

I am able to incorporate different therapeutic methods and draw from various theories. I will tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs.

It is important that you feel comfortable with the therapist so please get in touch with me to arrange an initial appointment where we will be able to explore how we may work together.

My background

I am originally from Poland and have lived in the UK for over 12 years. Building a therapeutic relationship with people with different backgrounds, experiences and life histories has been a wonderful and humbling privilege.

I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, as well as BSc in Psychology and MSc in Clinical Child Psychology. I regularly attend additional courses to further develop my counselling practice. I speak Polish, English and have a good understanding of Spanish.

My counselling experience

Apart from working in private practice, I also work in Primary and Secondary schools (through YMCA) and for a small local charity based in Cambridge called Cogwheel Trust. In the past I have worked with troubled young people in a youth hostel and volunteered for Cruse Bereavement Care. 

My first session

Each counselling sessions lasts for 50 minutes. The sessions will start and end at the agreed time. In case you arrive late, the session will still finish on time.

Sessions are normally held on a weekly basis, but might be held fortnightly or at other intervals by agreement. Our contract is open-ended which means that we have not agreed on total number of counselling sessions, but will review regularly how we feel our work together is going. We may also agree a number of sessions, including a review.

The first session will be an assessment session. You will have a chance to talk over what brings you to counselling, what your hopes are, before committing yourself to further sessions. It will be an opportunity for you and me to decide whether we think that we can work together.
