I have years of experience with working with both individuals and couples I help partners improve their relationship by facilitating communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening emotional bonds. I guide couples through challenging situations, assess their needs, and develop individualised treatment plans. I assess the strengths and weakness of each relationship, and identify patterns of interaction and communication. I also conduct an individual assessment to understand each partner's emotional state and needs within the relationship. For individuals we work through whatever presenting issue they came to therapy for.

The reasons behind people seeking therapy are vast. For some, there may be a specific question; for others, it may be the desire to understand some part of themselves that they have been struggling to grasp for some time. We all experience times of difficulty and struggle, and sometimes we may find that familiar ways of coping no longer seem to help, or we notice our patterns with others no longer serve us to feel safe and secure. Therapy is designed to create a safe space, with no agenda, so that we can think carefully about ourselves within the context of our lives to explore understanding and change.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying something heavy that’s hard to put into words. Maybe you’re replaying conversations at night, feeling tense in your chest, or noticing patterns you can’t seem to shift — people‑pleasing, shutting down, overthinking, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Therapy offers a calm, steady space to explore what’s happening inside you, make sense of your experiences, and gently move toward feeling more grounded, more understood, and more able to choose what happens next.

I understand when one feels alone and isolated with no one to turn to. At times it feels difficult to share your worries with those closest to you for a variety of reasons, including fear of judgement and feeling that you might let someone down. I will work with you to unpack your concerns and worries with the aim of assisting you in finding a way through some of those worries. My aim is to also ensure that you feel safe and that your concerns and worries are held in confidence and you experience being supported throughout your therapeutic journey.

I work with women who feel stuck beneath the surface; navigating quiet overwhelm, difficult relationship patterns, or a loss of connection with themselves. Women who want to stop living by everyone else’s expectations and start reconnecting with themselves. You may experience difficulties in your relationship, or navigate complex family dynamics. You recognise patterns of behaviour or relationships you long to understand and find freedom from. You feel disconnected from your voice, and want to relate to yourself with more trust and compassion. You have spent so much time caring for others you're not sure how to care for yourself.

It's ironic that a large part of psychotherapeutic work is around trying to convince people that their perceived 'abnormal' feelings and behaviours are a completely 'normal' reaction to a set of, often very difficult life circumstances. For instance, why wouldn't someone have a generalised feeling of persistent anxiety and low mood, when they have to live in what seems like a crazy and confusing world? We can work toward a more accepting and benevolent view of ourselves, exploring who you truly are and where you might truly want to go in life, without the harsh inner voices of the past.

I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor. I offer a confidential and safe space where we can think about what is troubling you in a non-judgemental setting. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Life can throw upsetting things at us and sometimes we find ourselves affected by events more than we expect. Psychodynamic therapy provides an opportunity to discover the unconscious processes that drive our responses and behaviours. Once these processes are acknowledged, we have the choice of changing how we react. This can help us to feel better about ourselves and live a more fulfilling life.

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!

Perhaps sex has become a source of stress rather than pleasure, or desire has faded and it's creating distance in your relationship. Maybe you're dealing with erection difficulties, questions about your sexuality, or worries about porn. Whatever has brought you here, I'm here to help.

If you're stuck in patterns that aren't working, struggling in relationships, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or trying to make sense of something difficult, together we can work out what's happening, why, and how things can change. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the lasting effects of trauma. We explore what is keeping you stuck: patterns that repeat, the inner voices that shape how you see yourself, the roles you find yourself in, and ways of coping that may once have helped but now create problems. My approach is thoughtful and direct. I’ll challenge you and laugh with you.

Through exploring patterns of thought, feelings and relationships, we can understand and resolve these issues leading to greater self-awareness, personal growth and change. Together we will speak freely about whatever comes to mind with the aim of addressing defences and removing blockages that may have developed over time and are hindering your ability to feel whole and lead a fulfilling life.

You might feel stuck in patterns that you can't seem to break free of, or have difficulty connecting with other people, or feeling true intimacy. You might have been putting on a 'mask' to go out to work and function in the world, but underneath are living with pain in various forms: depression, anxiety, grief or anger. If you feel motivated to make changes but don't know where to start, then psychotherapy might be right for you. With time, as you start to feel safe enough to talk in depth about the things that have been troubling you, therapy can become a very real relationship of trust and openness.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
