I like to see any life journey as a metaphor to walking in known and unknown territories. We follow the cairns along the way (beliefs, relationships, professional career...) and sometimes we lose sight of them, we get anxious; stuck; lost; not good enough and compensatory mechanisms no longer work. This is usually when we look for help, including counselling, psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. In the therapeutic setting, I will walk with you at your pace to re-discover or re-build these structures that bring you a sense of direction, safety, strength and meaning in your life and allow you to go on to your individual path.

My psychodynamic training takes into account the connections between the past and the present and in the frame of how we engage, things can become apparent that you may have not been aware of. The nuances of how this promotes change has been expressed by my clients. I also work as a trauma informed counsellor which has enriched my experience as a therapist. I have experience working with self esteem, anxiety, abuse and much more. There may be things from your past that you feel are stopping you from moving forward. In our sessions we can explore what you bring, what your goals are and what it would look like to achieve them.

Couples Therapy: Communication is the foundation of all human relationships and how we talk to each other can be an indicator of how healthy our relationship is. Both need to take individual and collective accountability and responsibility of how they communicate and listen to each other if a relationship is to flourish. Do you have a daily or weekly check-in with your partner to check the temperature of the relationship? Or, do you only find the time to point out difficulties and problems in the relationship, resulting in no solution focused understanding of agreement and you are irritated and frustrated and need some clarity?

People can find themselves in challenging situations, giving way to certain feelings and emotions. The prospect that something may have changed, or something stopped working can be difficult. The sense of feeling stuck, not knowing what to do can be unsettling. Perhaps this has been going on for some time causing effort and exhaustion. This is where therapy can help. I offer genuine warmth, understanding, and togetherness whether your first time or returning to therapy. We can look at where you are now and how you got there. How it effects and affects you.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship, or sexuality issues? Do you feel stuck and lacking support? Do you feel overwhelmed by difficult situations or struggling with low self-esteem? Are you going through a life transition and finding it difficult to cope? Many of us may face hardships in life at some point and such times can be stressful, frightening, and lonely. Seeking help or support is not always easy. Talking to friends and family may be difficult, if not impossible as we may experience rejection, shame, guilt when we are most vulnerable.

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor and have been working with individuals and groups for the last twenty years. For several years I was on the training committee at AGIP including two years as chair. I am currently the course leader for the Guild's diploma in psychoanalytic supervision. I would describe my orientation as psychoanalytic from within a contemplative perspective. By this I mean that I subscribe to the idea of an unconscious and believe events and attitudes from early life can impact on our lives today. I understand that an awareness of these currents helps to increase the choices available to us.

Well into the 21st centuries, life has become faster and in many ways“easier” – the world is a click away – yet the demands have grown too. We are expected to be efficient, confident, independent and yet connected, relaxed, free. Contradicting expectations leave us confused, tense, dissatisfied ad it is difficult to navigate through vague routes. Against this background noise, we juggle relationships, families, work, friendships and sometimes the difficulties of the process become unmanageable. At times our struggle might take the shape of a psychological disorder: OCD, anxiety, depression; more often we feel confused or exhausted.

Hi. I’m Mirek. Some people seek help because they experience a variety of emotional challenges (e.g. depression, anxiety, addictive tendencies, issues within relationships, unhelpful patterns of relating, and they want to feel better. Counselling and psychotherapy can help with it, but most importantly it can help with changing internal landscapes so that we then better understand how we function and have an idea where our troubles come from. Knowing that it is then easier to manage ourselves with anything that live throws at us. There is nothing better than a sense of freedom from old unhealthy patterns of relating!

I work consistently with clients on issues around addictive behaviours and work with individuals and groups in recovery from alcohol and drug abuse. No problem is ever too small and it is often the ones you feel embarrassed to bring that are key to unlocking the problem.

Alcohol Use Counsellors

Are there specific medications for alcohol use?

There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
