About me

Experience & background

I have over eight years of experience in therapy-related roles within the charity sector in Scotland, supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational difficulties. I have extensive experience working with all forms of gender-based violence, including coercive control and sexual abuse. This work has shaped my commitment to anti-oppressive, trauma-sensitive, and relationally-attuned practice.

I have also worked with people navigating cultural displacement, neurodivergence, and experiences of marginalisation, something I bring both professional training and lived experience to. Before training as a therapist, I studied culture and literature, which shaped how I think about our stories and the meaning we make of our experiences. I've been living in Scotland for 10 years, and I am originally from Poland.

Qualifications & training

MSc in Psychotherapy and Counselling (BACP accredited, University of Strathclyde, 2025)
BSc in Psychology with Counselling (BPS accredited, Open University, 2022)
PgCert in Counselling (Edinburgh College, 2018)

I work under regular clinical supervision and in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

As the therapy field is ever-changing and growing, I continue to undertake courses and training to deepen my understanding and knowledge. I am open to various healing modalities, and I believe therapy can work very well alongside spiritual and somatic practices.

Areas of my work

Trauma & Pain

Complex trauma, PTSD, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, and the ways trauma shows up in daily life - including anxiety, depression, attachment difficulties, and what gets labeled as 'personality disorders'

Body & embodiment

Chronic pain and illness, disability, internalised ableism, self-harm in all its forms, disordered eating, body image, sexuality, gender, body expression, interoception, embodied and somatic exploration

Identity & difference

Migration and cultural adjustment, feeling 'other', experiences of marginalisation related to gender, sexuality, race, neurodivergence, or any forms of difference.

I work with people grappling with life transitions, relationship difficulties, and questions about meaning and identity. Many of my clients face systemic pressures and harmful contexts, and carry the weight of that in ways that show up as anxiety, depression, burnout, or a persistent feeling that something is wrong with them. I often connect well with people who carry a sense of "otherness" - whether that's tied to cultural background, neurodivergence, sexuality, chronic illness, or other layers of difference - although I welcome clients from all walks of life.

If you resonate with my way of working, I'd be happy to have an introductory call where we can explore working together. Feel free to get in touch if you're unsure or have questions.
