I will try to fulfil your expectations and help you achieve your goals, motivation and dreams. Some of the techniques help to improve your grounding skills, motivation, energy level, concentration, and simple joy in every moment, quality of sleep and mood improvement, to deal with depression and anxiety. What is unique about my service? The unique thing about my service is that I am also an authorised Zen mindfulness teacher. This authorisation was achieved through a traditional path of years spent on meditation retreats and meeting Zen teachers who approved my skills to teach koans (intuition developmental techniques). Processing thoughts, emotions and past events is a way to gain clarity in the moment and make the best decisions. I will help you with this process. Insurers  I work with individual clients and couples in private practice and for the private health insurer Bupa, as well as other private insurers. The session During a therapy session, you can really get to the roots of problems. I will help you to process feelings and thoughts. This can be scary, and is sometimes unbearable to do alone. I will give you the tools to deal with difficult feelings, so that you will be well equipped for what you are facing in life I will help you to build your network of support. I am available for short therapy support for individuals and couples, children and parents, and for longer-term therapy. Going to a therapy session for the first time may bring some level of anxiety, as well as curiosity. It can be a great way to approach self-development and self-investment. My clients say that they feel comfortable with me and my way of working from the very first session because I create an atmosphere of understanding, openness, and simplicity without judgement. How can counselling help you? I help you to see what is holding you back and to overcome hindrances. I think that the way we look after our mind can greatly affect our decisions, relationships, our mental, emotional and physical condition, and changes in our day-to-day life. I believe that therapy should bring positive changes to our life from the very first session. I am told that after a therapy session, clients feel freed from self-judgement, negative thoughts and very uplifted and inspired to work towards development. I have worked with difference and diversity in various ways. I recognise the impact of different forms of oppression on personal development, and on the chances that are available to people. How many sessions will you need? I am happy to work short or longer term with people. Short-term work often involves specific issues and goals. This is also true for longer-term work but can make way for a more free-flow exploration of issues as they arise. During therapy sessions, we focus on the moment and come to recognise the roots of patterns and problems. I am fluent in Polish and understand Russian. Reduced fees are available for the unemployed, clients on a low income and students. Getting in touch...
