Gestalt Therapy & Counselling in Central London

I am a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with over fifteen years’ experience of individual, group and couples therapy.

After many years of working for the NHS, I now offer counselling and psychotherapy that is tailored to the needs of the individual in my private practice at the Gestalt Centre (EC2) and in central London.

I have extensive experience in working with people from diverse cultures, social backgrounds, and sexualities. Acceptance of each person in their unique reality is inherent in my practice.

My approach is Gestalt Therapy – a creative attitude towards life and personal growth with the emphasis on present experience, contact and awareness that addresses the whole person: mind/body/emotion/spirit.

My clients include individuals who are seeking safe and confidential space to clarify and explore more specific issues and distress, like: relationship difficulties, depression, anger, bereavement and loss, anxiety and panic attacks, sexual concerns and compulsive behaviour.

I have also considerable experience in providing counselling and psychotherapy to individuals who seek help on the advice of their GP or psychiatrist for debilitating complaints, including psychosomatic and stress related symptoms.

As Gestalt therapist, I see my task as being to facilitate personal development and improve relationship skills. I work in collaboration with my clients to increase awareness of their strengths as well as identifying blocks to change, growth and fulfilling relationships. I offer short term counselling when appropriate but I tend to work longer term to facilitate deep and lasting change.

I work regularly with artists, counselling trainees and individuals who want to define their identity, find more satisfying and creative ways of expression, as well as those who are searching for meaning in their lives.

I am dedicated to a dialogical approach that in my view best addresses human nature – "in its ground of connectedness and its figure of separateness". My interest lies in the exploration of the person's relationship with self and other, and in enhancing their relational ability.

I work primarily in English but sessions can also be held in Polish. For information in Polish, please click here.
