Since the Coronavirus pandemic my Psychotherapy practice has moved online, in most cases. My fee for working face-to-face - in and around the Greater London area - can be discussed. I offer one-to-one, couple and relationship counselling and group therapy. I work with an integrative approach, including theoretical principles such as Relational, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Spiritual, Mindfulness, Gestalt, etc. I also incorporate Eco-Psychotherapy, as I believe we are each emotionally and spiritually impacted by the differing, ecological environments in which we live.

Do you feel like you're not enough? Is there a sense that you have to put everyone else first, before you, and that your wants and needs aren't as important? Perhaps you hold yourself to such high standards that you don't get a chance to breathe. These experiences can often feel like the whole truth and that there isn't a way out of them, but with soft, consistent support, there can be the possibility of moving forward into a place that is warmer and less pressurised, to a more grounded place that doesn't feel so harsh.

I hope to provide you with a sense of how I work in this profile. I am a skillful, diligent and sensitive therapist. I´ve worked for over 25 years in mental health. I have a particular interest in the way many of us still live our lives in "survival mode" and struggle to thrive. My approach is gentle yet challenging. Our work will be determined by the changes you wish to effect in your life and the pace that feels safest to you. We may explore past experiences and the way in which you adapted to "survive" - adaptations that are still present in your day to day life. This is described as a "trauma-informed" approach.

You may feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety or intrusive thoughts that are difficult to switch off. Anxiety can show up in different ways, such as worrying about being judged in social situations (social anxiety), repetitive thoughts that feel hard to control (OCD), or a constant sense of tension and pressure. Some people also experience ongoing low mood, loss of motivation or emotional exhaustion (depression). In therapy with me, we can begin to understand these patterns together and find ways to respond to them with greater clarity and balance.

I help people to feel better about themselves and empowered to make positive changes to their lives. Being truly heard (perhaps for the first time) by someone who will never judge, dictate to, or betray you, can be a profoundly healing experience. With growing trust and commitment, negative thoughts and feelings can be explored, understood and overcome. Regrets about the past and fears for the future can be replaced by fulfilment in the present.

I offer a space to slow down and breathe. With a gentle and honest approach, I help you notice what's happening beneath the surface. Together, we explore your story to reconnect with who you are, who you were and who you're becoming. Hi, my name is Paulina, I'm an integrative counsellor and I wonder when was the last time you truly felt heard? Maybe you've been holding onto things you've never spoken about and the weight of it is starting to feel too heavy. Or perhaps you just need a space to make sense of it all. Imagine stepping into a warm, caring environment where you can talk about your life without fear of judgment.

Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.
