I offer counselling for women who have experienced:

  • The emotional toll of toxic friendships or workplaces

Culturally sensitive

As a counsellor, I recognise the importance of culture in shaping our perspectives and experiences.

I provide culturally sensitive counselling tailored to individuals from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQI+ communities.

Having lived in various countries, I appreciate how cultural norms impact mental health, self-esteem, and confidence.

It’s important to find a therapist who values diversity and respects differences, including those related to sexual orientation and gender identity.

I also offer counselling services in Polish for clients who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in their native language.

Trauma-Informed Counselling

I specialise in trauma-informed care, which means I am trained to understand the impact of trauma. I can help you recognise trauma responses and manage symptoms.

If you’ve experienced abuse or traumatic events, you may face overwhelming emotions, anxiety, or difficulty trusting others. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can process your experiences at your own pace.

You don’t have to navigate this alone—I’m here to support you in reclaiming your sense of safety, self-worth, and emotional well-being.

Holistic Approach

I take a human-centered, trauma-informed approach, placing you at the heart of our work.

Healing is possible with the right support, and my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can process your experiences.

I integrate trauma-informed care to help you understand how past experiences shape your emotions, behaviors, and relationships.

With a Master’s Degree in Counselling, I bring a strong foundation in evidence-based therapy, ethical practice, and client-centered techniques to support your healing journey.
