About

Hello & welcome to my psychotherapy practice. I have been working as a Psychologist / Psychotherapist, CBT Therapist & EMDR Therapist in private practice since June 2005, initially delivering psychological help to the Polish people in Bristol. 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. ​

​

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 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 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 (MSc. in Health Psychology). I am also trained in EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (Level 3).

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. For 2 years I worked 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.
