My Approach

MY APPROACH
The focus of the work is on the current situation.
My approach is guided by an INTEGRATIVE APPROACH, meaning I draw from different therapeutic traditions. Employing a psychodynamic approach to explore how past experiences—particularly early relationships—continue
to influence your thoughts, emotions, and interactions with others today.
Uncovering repetitive patterns and coping strategies that may no longer serve you, helping you make more conscious choices and feel more in control. The transpersonal approach not only helps in healing emotional pain but also in evolving into a new version of yourself, one that is aligned with your values, feelings, and deep longings. Your challenges are seen not only as difficulties, but also as invitations for growth. I use a trauma-informed approach (Trauma-Informed Stabilisation Treatment developed by Dr Janina Fisher). It focuses on attending different parts of you — even those that feel reactive, stuck, or self-sabotaging — with care and compassion. This approach understands that trauma affects both the mind and the body, and helps you feel safer and manage the sense of overwhelm. Through systemic lenses, I also consider the broader context: your family system, culture, faith background, and transgenerational experiences, all of which contribute to who you are and how you interact with the world. Other theories which inform my practice include findings from Attachment Theory, neuroscience, Emotional Intelligence and others.

About Me

Hi, I'm Katarzyna. I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, a Professional Coach (currently in certification), and a TIST Practitioner.

My work is grounded in a deep interest in how people heal, adapt to life’s changes and grow. Rooted in my own healing journey and strengthened by professional training and experience, I’ve supported people from diverse backgrounds through challenging times. I bring together different frameworks – including psychotherapy, coaching, trauma-informed practice and systemic lenses — which allow me to see the richness of each method, both individually and in combination. What I’ve learned is that real, lasting change — and meaningful personal progress — begins with caring for your mental and emotional wellbeing. That’s at the heart of everything I do. Whether you're working through something painful, seeking personal growth, or adjusting to a new life abroad, genuine change begins within — and I support you through that process.

I am a Registered Member of the BACP (MBACP), an Accredited Member of the UKCP, and I'm also registered with ICO (Information Commissioner's Office).
I work with Employee Assistance Programmes (Workplace People's Options) and private insurance providers (AXA, WPA).
