Hello. I’m Kate and I’m a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist.

I truly believe that in order to resolve some life difficulties, we need to dig deep into a root cause of the problem, usually having its origin in early childhood experiences. We need to look at the way we were brought up by our parents and how we were shaped by early relationships with our closed ones. By doing this, we can notice our defence mechanisms and assess the effectiveness of those in the present and check for the behaviour patterns that we repeat over and over again, not fully understanding the reason behind it.

Doing this is not always easy and can be a daunting and scary experience. Having someone to explore all complicated feelings and emotions with us in a non-judgmental way is crucial to be able to go through the process safely and successfully. I am confident that with my sensitivity and a heart full of compassion and empathy for another human being, you can go on that journey and hopefully, with some hard work, come out of it as a free, fulfilled and happy person.

I specialise in physical, sexual and narcissistic abuse, eating disorders, depression and anxiety. I offer free 30 minutes consultation over the phone or face-to-face to see whether we suit each other and if we agree to work together, we meet for 50 minutes face-to-face or online each week at the same time. My fee is £60 per session.

I am a registered member of BACP to ensure my sessions are conducted ethically and professionally.

I am fluent both in English and Polish.
