Hello! I am Paulina. As an integrative counsellor, I am passionate about helping individuals overcome a variety of psychological and emotional issues. My background in humanities and psychology, as well as my experience of living in multiple countries, has given me a unique perspective on the importance of addressing not only the mind but also the body and lifestyle habits in the healing process. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours, and work towards achieving a greater sense of self-awareness and well-being.

My name is Karen, I decided to pursue a career in psychology due to a strong interest in human behaviour and helping individuals improve their mental health and wellbeing. I have always been fascinated with the connection between mind and body, and how our emotional state effects our physical wellbeing.
