 |  Welcome to my counselling and psychotherapy website I am a BACP accredited Counsellor / Psychotherapist with over fourteen years experience of working therapeutically with individuals, couples and groups.
I offer brief counselling and longer term psychotherapy at the Gestalt Centre (EC2) and in Harley Street (W1) in central London.
I have extensive experience in providing counselling and psychotherapy to people from diverse cultures, social backgrounds, and sexualities. Acceptance of each individual in their unique reality is inherent in my practice.
My approach is Gestalt Therapy – a creative attitude towards life and personal growth with the emphasis on present experience, contact and awareness that addresses the whole person: mind/body/emotion/spirit.
I am dedicated to a dialogical approach that in my view best addresses human nature – "in its ground of connectedness and its figure of separateness". My interest lies in the exploration of the person's relationship with self and other, and in enhancing their relational ability.
As Gestalt therapist, I see my task as being to facilitate personal development and improve relationship skills. I work in collaboration with my clients to increase awareness of their strengths as well as identifying blocks to change, growth and fulfilling relationships.
I work regularly with artists, counselling trainees and people who want to define their identity, find more satisfying and creative ways of expression, as well as those who are searching for meaning in their lives.
My clients include people who are seeking support for more specific difficulties, like relationship issues, depression, bereavement and loss, anxiety and panic attacks, sexual concerns and compulsive behaviour. I see people with a range of psychological needs in both my psychotherapy and counselling practices in central London and City of London.
I have considerable experience in providing therapeutic intervention to people who seek help on the advice of their GP or psychiatrist for debilitating complaints, including psychosomatic and stress related symptoms.
After many years of working for the NHS, I now offer counselling and psychotherapy that is tailored to the needs of the individual. I am a bilingual Gestalt practitioner fluent in English and Polish. Counselling and psychotherapy sessions can be held in either language depending on the individual's need.
Clients may choose short-term counselling or longer term psychotherapy in any of my private practices: at The Harley Street Therapy Centre in central London (W1) and The Gestalt Centre, London EC2 (near Old Street tube station in the City).
