ABOUT

ABOUT ME

I am a qualified accredited counsellor. I work with adults, providing individual and couple face to face and remote sessions in English and in Polish. I am based in offices in Manchester City centre.

I am committed to providing you with support, free of judgement and full of empathy for every stage of your journey. I offer Integrative Counselling in a supportive, safe and friendly therapeutic space, where you are welcome to explore anything that is important to you with confidentiality. I work in a person led way, which means that my focus is on you and your needs, working at a pace that suits you.

I am enthusiastic about humanistic approaches. I embrace the idea that we have wisdom and capabilities to overcome hardships and live a more fulfilling life, given the right support and environment.

HOW TO START

  • To check if I am the right therapist for you, please contact me on my email or text me on my mobile. (I am unable to take phone call as I am often busy working with my clients). I will get back to you as soon as possible and we can arrange a suitable date for the first free of charge initial telephone consultation.  

EXPERIENCE

My helping journey began with Psychology at University of Gdansk (Poland) where I studied for my Masters qualification. I also completed 2-year Gestalt psychotherapeutic training which involved many professional workshops. I have Diploma in Counselling and I obtained BACP accreditation. As a counsellor I have built up my experience in NHS Staff Counselling, I provided counselling as a part of EAP for local councils, worked for charities and organisations supporting people with addictions. I have expertise in working with people from different backgrounds and presenting various issues such as; anxiety, depression, relationship problems, stress related to work and health conditions, as well as other personal circumstances.

From my experience I believe that counselling can be helpful in a variety of situations in a number of ways. I personally value therapy for its empowering influence, as it’s not only about dealing with the presenting issue but often also focusing on you as a whole, including your passions, drives, motivations, blocks, fears and any aspect of your life that makes you unique.
