I am a BACP-registered therapist, and I specialise in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.
My training and clinical experience span work with children, adolescents, families and adults. I use an integrative approach that includes traditional talking therapy in combination with creative imagination through visualisations, breath work, dreams, art and play.
Underpinning my practice is the belief that we are made up of mind, body and soul. Our essential qualities can be covered over by the stress of life and our environment. Our work is to reveal the soul nature underneath and find ways to heal and nourish the true self.

You might be here because things have started to feel like a lot. Maybe anxiety is taking up more space than usual, relationships feel difficult, or you’re trying to hold things together while supporting a child or young person at the same time.
I work with children, young people and the adults who support them, including parents, carers and professionals.
My work is trauma-informed, relational and shaped around the person in front of me.
I use different counselling approaches to help people make sense of what may be sitting underneath the worries, while finding practical ways to support everyday life.

I work with adults struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Many feel trapped in cycles of self-criticism, perfectionism, shame, or feeling "not good enough." Together, we create a safe, supportive space to understand these patterns with curiosity and compassion. By exploring both the underlying causes and present-day challenges, I help clients develop healthier coping strategies, greater self-understanding, and a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

My previous career as a scriptwriter has led me to be particularly attended to clients' narratives. Each individual has their unique story to tell. Each contains elements of significant people,conflicts, struggles and resources. It may impact the way we see ourselves, others and the world. By engaging in the process of therapy, we may open up new possibilities and to rewrite our stories.

At times, life can feel hard to manage. When this happens, it helps to have a space where we can be listened to and met, just as we are, with the sole goal of making sense of what's happening for us. We all deserve to feel happy, useful, calm and in control.
Coming to understand ourselves better through therapy can be the key to unlocking peace for ourselves.

I’m a psychotherapist and recovery coach offering a calm, grounded space for people who feel stuck, bound, or unsure how to change. Often this shows up as a quiet sense that something isn’t right, sometimes as more urgent patterns that feel difficult to shift. My work is especially focused on addiction and recovery, alongside the deeper patterns that sit beneath them. I don’t offer quick fixes or directive solutions. Change, in my experience, happens more softly and at a pace that respects the person in front of me. The work is exploratory rather than prescriptive, and rarely linear.

Mental health difficulties come in many forms and can impact our lives profoundly. Struggles may have been with us for years, even forming part of our identity, or they may have appeared as if from nowhere. Our attempts to cope often draw from the same well that feeds the problem, making it difficult to change things alone. One of the many ways therapy works is by unlocking different thinking, awareness and experience, allowing problems to be truly addressed in a new, meaningful way.

Hi, I’m Iwona, a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist.

I believe therapy is a collaborative experiment aimed at tangibly and enduringly improving the quality of your life. Success often begins by formulating the right questions. As an experienced assessor and case manager, I excel at fostering curiosity to connect seemingly disparate threads in your story. This process creates new understanding and provides space to address the challenges we often keep hidden—unpacking them with more care and honesty than day-to-day life typically allows. In this, I follow a person-centred foundation that prioritises safety and careful listening.

I focus on helping clients become empowered through self-awareness. Sometimes we need assistance to discover hidden parts of ourselves. We may want guidance to work out the underlying causes of the issues we are struggling with and to understand the meaning we give to our life events. I will assist you in exploring the motives behind behaviours, unhelpful thought patterns, and overwhelming feelings. Who would you be without the thoughts that upset you? Who would you be if you could feel free from the emotions and situations that weigh you down?
