About me

I am an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist with extensive experience across senior roles within the NHS and the private sector. My clinical practice is dedicated to helping adults navigate complex psychological landscapes, manage neurodevelopmental differences, and break free from lifelong, restrictive behavioral patterns.
I offer psychotherapy in both English and Polish, bringing deep cultural competence to my work. My extensive experience within diverse NHS and private settings has given me a nuanced understanding of the unique challenges, systemic pressures, and identity factors experienced by individuals from minority groups and diverse cultural backgrounds.
I use an integrative, evidence-based practice combining structured psychological therapies and neurobiological insights to support deep-seated behavioral and cognitive change.

My practice focuses primarily on:
1. Mood, Anxiety, OCD & Burnout
I deliver structured, evidence-based therapy to help you navigate chronic stress, anxiety disorders, depression, and OCD. By bridging clinical psychotherapy with actionable behavioral science, we work together to break overwhelming cycles and build practical, sustainable coping strategies for everyday life.
2. Trauma & Complex Mental Health
Drawing on extensive experience within specialist NHS secondary care services, I work frequently with individuals experiencing enduring trauma and complex psychological challenges. Using advanced CBT and specialized techniques, we gently explore and process deep-rooted difficulties to help you find a safe path forward.
3. Neurodiversity & ADHD Affirming Practice
I provide practical, affirming therapy tailored for adults with ADHD and executive functioning challenges. Instead of focusing on "deficits," we focus on how your brain works. Together, we look at your unique brain chemistry, optimize your reward systems, and build concrete strategies that actually fit your life.
4. Schema Therapy (Deep-Rooted Patterns)
While many people haven't heard the term, most recognize the feeling of being "stuck." Schema therapy is a powerful framework that helps you identify, understand, and change deeply ingrained, lifelong patterns and coping styles. It allows us to get to the root of self-defeating behaviors that often start in early life experiences.
