I see therapy as a process of discovery, healing, and growth. Through dialogue and experiential learning, we will explore how you are in relationships, how you make choices, and how you co-create your world. We will look at where you feel ‘stuck’ and what seems ‘difficult.’ We will stay with the feelings and complexities that emerge, making space for deeper understanding and new possibilities.I believe that change happens when you have enough support, when you fully acknowledge your present situation, and when you are willing to commit to the work.My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your own strength and capacity.
I live and work in Edinburgh. My interests are: C-PTS(Complex Post Traumatic Stress), life transitions, relationship issues (including LGBTQ+ relationships), loss, sexual/psychological/ systemic abuse/oppression. I know how trauma (developmental, singular, complex, transgenerational, collective) affects individuals and families.
Having grown up in Poland and lived in Germany and the USA, I understand the search for belonging across cultures. I know the challenges this brings to relationships and work. I have a special interest in neurodiversity, multicultural counselling, Gestalt therapy, and support for GSRD (Gender Sexuality Relationship Diversity) and LGBTQ+ communities.

Some of my favourite quotes by Fritz Perls that inspire my work:"Fear is excitement without breath"... "Anxiety is the gap between now and later" "The only way out is through'.."Lose your mind and come to your senses"..."Learning is the discovery that something is possible" and finally "It is the relationship that heals."

Healthy people are self-regulating individuals, able to respond flexibly to changing circumstances&support themselves while accepting mutual interdependence with other people&the environment. They can strike a balance between looking after their needs &caring for the needs of other people and their community, recognising their independence with the environment and caring for it as well.
