About

Hello & welcome to my psychotherapy practice. I have been working as a Psychologist / Psychotherapist, CBT Therapist & EMDR Therapist in private practice since June 2009. As a bilingual therapist, I work with both Polish and English-speaking clients. I also work as a supervisor at the University of Exeter, supervising High Intensity CBT trainee therapists.

​

I offer a professional therapeutic relationship, where clients can explore issues and difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I regularly supervise my therapeutic work. I only work with adults. I have been working therapeutically using an Integrative approach. I mainly offer CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). I offer trauma therapy and work as a PTSD therapist. I use EMDR to help treat trauma and PTSD, which is very effective. I am a Trauma - Informed Psychotherapist.

​

For 10 years (2012 - 2022) I also worked as a Psychotherapist in the NHS (National Health Service) in the IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) Services, where I offered psychotherapy for depression, anxiety and trauma.

​

I completed Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive – Behavioural Therapy at the University in Exeter (High Intensity IAPT Programme) and Postgraduate Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (CBT Pathway) at the University of Wales in Newport. I graduated from the Institute of Psychology of Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland (Master's Degree - MSc. in Health Psychology). I am also trained in EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (Level 3).

​

I’m passionate about supporting people on their journeys toward healing and growth. My own self-care practices like yoga, meditation, and long walks with my dog help me stay grounded and present for the work I do. I am very interested in ideas around spirituality, and I believe that integrating mind, body, and spirit creates a more balanced and authentic path to well-being. I strongly believe in the importance of self-care activities to keep a good work – life balance. I try to bring those beliefs into my therapeutic work.

I have been living in Bristol since 2005. I have experience working in many different mental health services, e.g. I worked for one for the mental health helplines for women and at a psychiatric hospital with patients suffering from eating disorders, depression, emotional difficulties and anxiety disorders. As a psychologist – volunteer I am a creator of The Projekt Bristol - Polish Psychologists’ Association (PPA) who I successfully run for 4 years (2009 - 2012). I coordinated the psychology section, offered counselling sessions and facilitated psycho – educational workshops for the Polish community in Bristol.
