our approach
Every individual and family is unique, and every challenge deserves a safe, compassionate space. We offer therapeutic support tailored to the needs of adults, children, and adolescents, with a focus on strengthening relationships and helping couples and families thrive together.
Our approach ensures that families and children receive the right support, at the right time, the first time round – which reduces re-admissions to other services, in case of children in care; facilitates faster returns to lower-cost community living and brings an end to the cycle of failed placements.

INTEGRATIVE COUNSELLOR FOR ADULTS, CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS, DDP PRACTITIONER BECOMING CERTIFIED AND THERAPEUTIC SOCIAL WORKER
I am an Integrative Counsellor, DDP Practitioner becoming certified, and independent Therapeutic Social Worker. I hold a Master’s in Social Work, a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and an Advanced Diploma in Counselling Children and Adolescents. I completed DDP levels 1 and 2 training and I am currently on practicum. Additionally, I am currently studying Systemic Theory and Practice at University of Bath.
I worked in education, residential, and youth work settings before starting in Children’s Social Care. I completed a Social Work MA at Opole University in Poland in 2002 and registered as a social worker in Poland and later in the UK. During my time with Social Services, I worked in Assessment, Children in Need/CP, Leaving Care, Fostering, and Permanence teams.
My extensive experience in working with children who have experienced trauma and attachment issues is a testament to my expertise. I have also worked with families, children, and foster and kinship carers where children display behavioural difficulties and struggle to function in a family, a home or an education setting.
I have completed a wide range of training in therapeutic approaches, focusing on attachment and developmental trauma. In 2014, I qualified as a counsellor and have been developing as a therapist since. In 2015, I set up an independent counselling practice where I offer regular therapy to adults, children and adolescents.
My approach to therapy is flexible, integrating various models to suit each individual. I offer DDP parent and family work, PACE and Attachment Groups, and counselling sessions for
adults and children. My practice in DDP focuses on relationships and is underpinned by an understanding of attachment and trauma and their impact on the neurobiology of the brain.
My passion for helping people to heal, strengthen and stay together is the driving force behind my work. I am dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for adults and children, and working alongside families and professionals to accomplish this.

INTEGRATIVE COUNSELLOR FOR ADULTS, COUPLE COUNSELLOR AND PERSONAL BODY AND MIND TRAINER
I am an integrative counsellor with 9 years of experience, dedicated to supporting clients in improving their mental health, building self-awareness, enhancing emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and navigating life’s challenges.
I have worked with adults and couples from diverse backgrounds, addressing a wide range of issues including anxiety, phobias, OCD, depression, grief and loss, and relationship difficulties. Over the years, I have helped many clients by drawing on a variety of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, and CBT.
In addition to counselling, I am also a qualified personal trainer, which gives me a deeper understanding of how physical activity, time spent outdoors, and a healthy lifestyle can positively influence both mental and physical well-being.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that everyone deserves the chance to be heard and to express themselves freely in a safe, non-judgmental space. I see counselling as a powerful tool for personal growth, resilience, and the enrichment of both individual lives and relationships.
