Currently, I am available on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Please get in touch for more information.

Hello, I'm Karolina, and I offer a warm and creative space for counselling and psychotherapy. I provide both short-term support and long-term therapy. I'm happy to connect with you either in person or online.  

Feeling good is something you truly deserve. I have a deep belief that everyone deserves to heal and live in line with their values. So often, the difficulties we experience are a result of our life experiences, not because anything is wrong with us.

If you choose to work with me, you can look forward to:

-A safe, confidential, and unbiased space where you can feel fully accepted.

-A supportive therapeutic relationship where your needs and goals are always the focus.

-An approach that respects your unique experiences and perspective.

-Gentle support of your overall wellbeing and navigating any specific challenges you're facing.

As each person is unique, I offer an integrative approach to our counselling work together. This means I draw from different therapeutic models to ensure our sessions are tailored to your specific needs. Some of the ways we might work together include:

Person-Centred Therapy: I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.

Psychodynamic Approach: Sometimes, understanding where our current difficulties come from can be helpful in healing. Together, we can gently explore how past experiences might be influencing what you're going through now.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Our minds can sometimes get caught in unhelpful patterns. I also use CBT techniques to help you gently notice and reframe any negative thoughts.

Creative and Somatic Approaches: We can also explore creative tools and ways of connecting with your body to deepen your self-awareness and process emotions in a way that feels comfortable and right for you.

If you're considering taking a step towards a more fulfilling life, I'd be glad to help.

I am happy to offer you a free, no obligation phone call. The aim for this is to establish if we both feel comfortable working together.

It's normal to feel a little anxious about the first session. Perhaps it will be easier if you knew what to expect.

We will discuss the practical aspects of our work, such as a counselling agreement. I usually ask clients to fill out a brief questionnaire to see where they are in the beginning of our work. We will then explore what you hope to achieve in therapy, including your expectations of the process and of me.

If you'd like to see the documents beforehand, I'm happy to send them over, so you can have a look at them and bring any questions you might have.

You are welcome to have as many, or as few sessions as you feel you need. If you wish to stop counselling, I will accept your decision.

Sessions last 50 minutes and are held weekly at the agreed time and place.

I work face-to-face in confidential rooms in Reading. I also offer online therapy.

Please feel welcome to contact me today for an initial conversation to explore how I might be able to help you.
