About my practice
I see therapy as a process of discovery, healing, and growth. In therapy, through dialogue we will explore 'how' you are in relationships, make choices, and co-create your world. We will learn and play together. We will look at where you feel ‘stuck’ and what seems ‘difficult.’ We will connect with the embodied feelings and complexities that emerge, making space for deeper understanding and new possibilities. I believe that change happens when we have enough support, when we acknowledge our present situation, and commit to the work. My role is to walk WITH you as you reconnect with your aliveness, joy, spontaneity and creativity. I live and work in Edinburgh. My interests are: relationship issues (especially Gender Sexuality Relationships Diversity), sexuality/attraction/intimacy, body image. I know about neurodiversity, C-PTSC, and how trauma (developmental, singular, complex, transgenerational, collective) affects individuals and families. Having grown up in Poland and lived in Germany and the USA, I understand the search for belonging across cultures. I know the challenges this brings to relationships and work. I have a special interest in multiculturalism and all creative arts like photography, theatre, cinema, literature, poetry, dance/play/authentic movement, contact improvisation. Here are some of my favourite quotes by Fritz Perls that inspire my work: "Gestalt Therapy is about waking up from the nightmare of your existence" "Fear is excitement without breath" "Learning is the discovery that something is possible" ... and... last but not least a quote from one of my favourite writers Irvine Yalom : "It is the relationship that heals."
