Counselling in WC1B

I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy in a safe and collaborative space in which we explore difficult feelings and experiences, both past and present. I work with people dealing with a range of emotional difficulties, on a time-limited and open-ended basis.

I am a down to earth psychotherapist who holds 10+ years worth of experience working with individuals, children, adolescents, couples and families. I have a passion for working with people’s strengths, resources, and capacity. I do not just listen, but also share my ideas and experiences. My style of work varies, as I recognise working with people is a collaborative process; a journey we take together.

I qualified as a therapist after a long career in the arts. It was a job that let me see life through other people's eyes and started my interest in our relationships and how they affect us. The way we forge them, how we behave within them, and the anxieties and difficulties they can often present. Close, personal relationships, work situations and friendships, as well as the complex relationship we have with ourselves and our past, can all become overwhelming, pressurising and stressful. With a genuine desire to listen and support, I want to help you make sense of your struggles and find a positive way forward.

Are you trying to stay afloat and somehow not succeeding at that? Depression, loneliness, anxiety and relationship tension within families are on the rise. With therapy people can make their desired changes in their lives and live more fully in the present by appreciating their gifts and uniqueness. You can resolve personal, relational or professional issues once you understand the role that you play in them and how you can utilise your inner gifts and reveal your authentic self to the world.

I offer short- and long-term adult psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling. I aim to create a non-judgemental and collaborative relationship that facilitates self-understanding. Psychotherapy is a way for us to think together about your past and its impact on your present thoughts and actions. By supporting you to speak freely, and by listening, I can help you better understand and work through your experiences, transforming their effects. Psychotherapy should be a challenging but rewarding process where you gain greater agency and satisfaction in your life.

You may experience anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and sexuality difficulties, addictive behavior. Talking therapy helps to understand our emotions so that we can identify and manage negative feelings or unwanted habits. When working together, client and therapist explore present and past events to identify the relation between the present emotions and the early life experiences. By understanding how childhood experiences affect our emotions and behavior as adults, it is possible to understand the root of the problem.

Lots of profiles aren't there? The paradox of choice sets in; how do I choose the right person? IS there a right person? And what even is therapy anyway?

We all have the right to be heard and seen, sometimes we can get stuck along the journey of life and encounter challenging thoughts and emotions.

I am a Gestalt psychotherapist with an MA in Gestalt Therapy, accredited by the UKCP and registered by the BACP. I offer people a safe, supportive space to explore difficult feelings and to recognise and deal with the hidden patterns in personal relationships. I offer individual psychotherapy, couples and relationship therapy and group work. I can provide both long-term open-ended psychotherapy and brief focused counselling (generally up to 12 sessions).

I offer a safe, non-judging and confidential therapeutic space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. The therapeutic journey I believe can serve as an opportunity to uncover one’s inner resources and resilience, as well as an opportunity to discover new and more flexible ways of relating to oneself, others and life. My psychotherapy training is in a mindfulness based approach called Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP). This particular approach integrates concepts of mindfulness and awareness with modern psychological perspectives and theories.

Every day living can be overwhelming for everyone. Are you feeling that life is getting on top of you? Is there a gap between what you want and what you've got? Are you feeling physically / emotionally tired at your work or in your relationships? Or you want to live a great life and achieve great things? We can work together to make sense of these experiences and how you can use them in order to make the progress you want and become the best version of yourself. We will work together within the framework of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy.

With a range of clinical skills including EMDR alongside a long-standing experience in working with adults suffering from a range of trauma-related psychological difficulties, I can help you overcome the complex and debilitating impact of trauma. If you have intense feelings of anxiety or fear; struggle with bereavement and loss or have complicated grief reactions, have symptoms of PTSD or have experienced early life trauma safely designed EMDR can be transformative. There is evidence that EMDR also helps prevent the development of PTSD if you have experienced a recent traumatic event or you are struggling with ongoing stress.

My name is Marek and I am a Psychotherapist and a Sex and Relationship Therapist who works in a private practice and in a higher education institution in London.
