I get that it’s not easy to ask for support and admit to vulnerability. I view therapy as as a journey of discovery, healing and growth. Through 'experiential learning' and 'dialogue' we will work with your ‘embodied awareness’ of ‘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 complexity that may unfold. I believe change happens organically when we have enough 'support', fully acknowledge the situation we are in, and commit to work.If that resonates with you, please contact me.
I live and work in Edinburgh but I originally come from Poland. My special interest are: life transitions, relationship issues,loss, cultural diversity. I also know how trauma (developmental, singular,complex, transgenerational,collective) affects individuals and families.
Growing up on the edges of different cultures, and experience of living in Poland, Germany and the USA often left me wondering where I belonged.I know of the challenges diverse background may bring to families, relationships and work. I also understand the pressure related to family, gender, ethnicity, race,LGBTQ+ difference, social class, and religion.

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.
