Counselling in E9
I offer a psychoanalytic approach where between us we explore how recurring patterns in relationships have been shaped by the past and early experiences. Historic events inform the present and early relationships can provide a template for what lies ahead. This psychoanalytic approach can help identify patterns with increased awareness implicitly moving towards change.

I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become. -Carl Gustav Jung- A warm welcome to you.

Alongside my private practice located just a few minutes from Hackney Wick station , I work in NHS as IAPT counsellor where I design and deliver individually tailored treatments for a wide range of presenting problems.

I’m an integrative humanistic therapist with a background in the creative arts and electronic music.
I currently have availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays in-person & Tuesdays online.
People often come to therapy when they’re carrying a lot internally while trying to keep things going day to day. I support individuals with a wide range of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, low mood, feeling stuck, or a sense of disconnection from themselves.
I offer a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space to explore what’s happening in your life, whether that relates to the past, the present, or worries about the future.

Please get in contact if you are having difficulty dealing with anxiety, panic attacks or depression, and are looking for help to understand what the meaning of these symptoms are. Perhaps you want to explore more specific questions, "who am I", "what do I want out of life" or "why do I always end up in the same situation". You may want help coming to terms with a crisis in your life, a bereavement, or a relationship difficulty that you are having, or maybe to explore uncomfortable feelings.

The step to take therapy can be a daunting step to take. Therapy is a gradual, co-created process that you can take your time with, with support and encouragement. This time of year, you may be feeling a sense of hopelessness, stuck or longing but unsure of what direction to take. My approach explores patterns that may be rooted in the past, bringing more awareness to our way of being, how we view the world and how we might make meaningful changes.

Psychotherapies move in and out of fashion as their claims and practises come in for reassessment and challenge. Psychoanalysis, the grandfather of all "talking cures", is no exception but it does seem as if, once again, it is having its moment as new studies and research offer evidence that it can provide for a change that endures. And it does so without providing the assurances of the quick-fix or the painless option but through a close and attentive listening and analysis of the nuances of your ties to others, the crucial relationships that might form (or undo) us.

I am a BPC Registered Psychotherapist offering short or long-term in-person and online sessions from therapy rooms in Hackney, London.
I believe that we all at some point find ourselves at a place when we need to talk, be listened to, be heard and understood by someone other than those who are close to us. To do this, I provide a safe and confidential space where we can think together, to identify the past and present issues that affect you now and, together, develop the awareness and strength that will allow you to make meaningful and lasting changes in your life.

I work with people who might know what they want or why something is difficult, yet in the moment your body reacts and control is lost. Maybe you are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or shaped by earlier adversity. I can help you unstick, notice your patterns, and support you in becoming cool, calm, and collected. To trust your responses, so you can meet life with more choice, steadiness, and authenticity rather than old survival strategies. I’m easy going with a good sense of humour.

Life can be difficult, and we all go through times of challenge, uncertainty, or emotional pain. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to make sense of your thoughts or emotions. Perhaps things that once helped no longer do, or something in your life has shifted. You may be looking for understanding, relief from distress, or a way forward that feels more manageable and meaningful.

I have worked in therapy services for over 20 years. During this time I have worked with a range of difficulties including: depression, anxiety, challenges with confidence and self-esteem, eating difficulties, trauma, relationship problems, and challenges with identity.
I take an explicitly compassionate approach. I believe we are all doing the best we can with the knowledge and resources available to us and if it were easy, we would all already be doing better. I also believe that therapy helps us to develop new understandings and build our internal resources so that we can make different choices and live more fulfilling lives.

My work is grounded in the belief that healing and transformation arise through authentic connection; with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.
You don’t need to be familiar with therapy for us to work together. It’s completely natural to feel unsure about what to expect, especially if this is your first experience. You won’t be expected to use psychological jargon or arrive with anything already figured out. What matters most is your willingness to show up as you are. My role is to meet you there, to listen closely, and to support you in exploring whatever feels important, at your pace, in your own words.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain about your relationships or life choices, it can be hard to navigate on your own. I offer a calm, thoughtful, collaborative space where you can speak openly and begin to make sense of what’s going on in your life.
I specialise in supporting individuals facing anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My integrative approach combines humanistic values with psychodynamic insights. This means I adapt my work to suit you as an individual, while holding in mind how past experiences can continue to shape how we feel and relate to others in the present.

There are times in life when we all struggle. I see therapy as offering a supportive space to untangle these experiences at your own pace.
My approach is warm, non-judgemental, and collaborative. Together, we’ll gently identify patterns that might keep you stuck, thoughtfully consider past experiences, and experiment with new possibilities that align more closely with who you are today.
My humanistic approach draws from Person-Centred, Gestalt & Transactional Analysis. Think of this as a toolbox filled with resources we can tailor specifically to your needs, always with compassion, self-exploration & self-awareness at the heart.

Hello, I am Anna Magnowska, an experienced art therapist who works with children, teenagers and adults. Art therapy is a professionally regulated practice that integrates psychotherapy alongside creative expression and art making as a means of communication. Everyone possesses creativity, and art therapy can be a way to tap into complex feelings which can then begin to be processed - you do not need any experience making art. Art therapy is appropriate for all ages and stages of life, and can be particularly suited to people who struggle with verbal communication. I am also a qualified supervisor and offer supervision.

I offer a collaborative experience in which we will clarify your unique needs and circumstances. Every person’s journey to therapy is different. You may be experiencing psychological difficulties, such as depression or anxiety, or a general sense of feeling stuck and unfulfilled, or burnt out. You may have had difficult early life experiences that continue to impact you today. All of these may negatively affect your relationships, career, self-esteem and overall happiness, as well as your physical health. Sometimes therapy can help you make sense of these.

People often come to me struggling with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, relationship problems, interpersonal problems, attachment difficulties, low self-esteem, emotion regulation, sex and sexuality, work stress and/or life transitions. Some other people simply have a sense that something feels "wrong" and seek a space to explore that.
I offer an open, collaborative space, where we can make sense of what you're struggling with and find ways forward together.

Seeking support is a brave step. Perhaps you feel internally overwhelmed & disconnected, or sense past events or relationships are limiting your everyday. If so, therapy could help you. I support adults (18+), online, in person & outside. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, self-harm, menopause, grief, conflicting values regarding sexuality and religion, sexual abuse & co-dependant relationships. Empowering those identifying as neurodivergent, (ADHD, Autism, AuDHD) is a personal passion. Whatever your experience, we can consider how it prevents you from meeting your full potential in life.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
