About me

Hello, I’m Karolina, and I offer a warm and creative space for counselling and psychotherapy. Located in the Reading area, I provide both short-term support and long-term therapy, and 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.

My journey towards becoming a counsellor is informed by my previous experience in the care sector. I have worked directly with adults with severe learning disabilities, autism, and personality disorders, as well as older individuals, offering both physical and emotional support.

How I work

Bespoke counselling tailored to you

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, empowering you to connect to your inner wisdom and find solutions.

  • 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, bringing understanding and creating positive change.

  • 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, which can help you see things from a more balanced perspective.

  • 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.

Working with me

When choosing to work with me, you can expect a safe, confidential, and unbiased space where you’ll be fully accepted as you are. Our therapeutic relationship will be collaborative and supportive, focused on keeping your individual needs and goals at the heart of our work. You can also be assured of an approach that deeply respects and honours your unique experiences and perspective. Throughout our journey, I will offer gentle support as you nurture your overall well-being and navigate any specific challenges you may be facing.

If you’re considering taking a step towards a more fulfilling life, I’d be honoured to connect with you.

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