Pati Bielak-Smith
Counsellor, MA, BACP
She/Her/Hers
I offer to meet you in person, online or over the phone.
Am I meeting you in times of personal or professional crisis? Have you been affected by the pandemic? Or are you coming to counselling to gain perspective in life? I have witnessed enough of my clients’ transformations and breakthroughs to have complete confidence in the restorative power of counselling therapy. My Master's Degree in Philosophy as well as Therapeutic Counselling training and simply years of experience of working with people have prepared me to walk alongside you in search for balance and meaning in life.
To this end I integrate insights into my work from psychological approaches (humanistic, mindfulness and needs-based NVC) that go in harmony with our counselling process. Having trained in Focusing (Gendlin) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) my practice is also informed by these therapy models.
Balancing the relationship between body and psyche, integrating our heart and mind, indeed, all aspects of ourselves, is key in the therapy I offer. Restoration of this balance makes a real difference to clients struggling with trauma, difficult life changes such as divorce, loss or illness, and in face of a relationship crisis.
