About Me

I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist working with individuals and Couples/Other relationships. I offer open-ended therapy and short term counselling to adults in either English or Polish.

My Story

My interest in psychotherapy started many years ago when I commenced my work with vulnerable people affected by crime, particularly survivors of domestic abuse. I appreciated the healing power of talking therapy and the benefits of making room to process complicated feelings and emotions whilst being true to ones' values. In the past several years, I have engaged in extensive therapeutic training, clinical work and my own journey of introspection and self-acceptance through my personal therapy.

The Way I Work

As an integrative therapist, I tailor my work to best suit my clients' unique, individual needs, drawing from various theoretical orientations. A trusting therapist-client relationship is a crucial part of therapeutic change. I offer a non-judgemental, safe and empathetic space where clients can freely explore their emotional struggles and problems in life. I strongly believe in diversity and provide multicultural support advocating dignity and value for all individuals. I respect and adhere to all aspects of the Equality Act 2010. I welcome individuals from all protected characteristics and ensure that their individual needs are adequately appreciated whilst providing my service. This includes any community members represented by age, disability, gender reassignment, religion, race, sex and sexual orientation.

My Experience

I have vast experience in domestic abuse and coercive control, bereavement, loss, guilt, shame, disenfranchised grief, self-esteem, trauma, anxiety and depression, family issues, spirituality, women's issues, adoption. I gained this experience by supporting survivors of domestic abuse and parents who had their children permanently removed.

About Me
I’m a qualified and accredited Integrative Psychotherapist offering therapy to individuals, young people, couples, and other relationship dynamics. I provide both open-ended therapy and short-term counselling to adults and young people aged 11 to 18, in English or Polish.
I’m also currently undertaking the Level 5 Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People, deepening my expertise in supporting younger clients through their unique emotional and developmental challenges.

My Story
My journey into psychotherapy began many years ago through my work with vulnerable individuals affected by crime—particularly survivors of domestic abuse. I saw firsthand the transformative power of talking therapy: how creating space to process complex emotions can foster healing, resilience, and a return to one’s core values.
Since then, I’ve undertaken extensive therapeutic training, built a rich foundation of clinical experience, and deepened my own path of introspection and self-acceptance through personal therapy. These experiences continue to shape the way I connect with and support others—both adults and young people.

How I Work
As an integrative therapist, I tailor my approach to suit each client’s unique needs, drawing from a range of therapeutic models. I believe that a trusting, collaborative relationship is the foundation for meaningful change.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where clients can explore emotional challenges and life’s complexities. I work sensitively with young people aged 11 to 18, creating a supportive environment where they can express themselves freely and begin to make sense of their experiences.
I’m committed to inclusive, multicultural support and advocate for dignity and respect for all. I fully uphold the principles of the Equality Act 2010 and welcome individuals from all protected characteristics—ensuring their needs are recognised and honoured throughout our work together.

Areas of Experience
I have extensive experience supporting clients through:
•     Domestic abuse and coercive control
•     Bereavement, loss, and disenfranchised grief
•     Guilt, shame, and self-esteem challenges
•     Trauma, anxiety, and depression
•     Family dynamics and relationship issues
•     Spirituality and women’s issues
•     Adoption and the impact of permanent child removal
•     Emotional well-being and identity development in young people


My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s story. I aim to help clients reconnect with their inner strength and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being
