Welcome. I’m glad you found your way here.
I’m Sylwia, a BACP (the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered Psychodynamic Counsellor based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, confusing, or stuck, and it can be hard to understand why.
My practice offers a confidential, unhurried space where you can slow down, speak freely, and begin to make sense of what you’re carrying. My work is grounded in a psychodynamic approach, which means that together we will gently explore how past experiences shape your present, uncovering the deeper patterns influencing your relationships and your sense of self. Understanding these patters if often the first step toward changing the ones that no longer serve you.
Every therapeutic journey is different. I will follow your lead, moving at your pace, walking beside you rather than directing you. Throughout, I will offer a warm, consistent and non-judgemental presence. Whether you are facing a significant life change, struggling with low mood or anxiety, or simply feeling that something is not quite right, I’m here to listen and help you make sense of your experiences.
If you’d like to find out whether working together feels right for you, I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation which is a chance for you to share what has brought you to therapy, ask any questions you have, and get a sense of how I work
