About Katarzyna
Kate brings 20 years of experience working with people through loss, grief and life changes. She supports those dealing with domestic violence, sexual abuse, addictions and dissociation. Her approach includes building stronger self-care and safer ways of relating to others.
Sessions are collaborative and respectful. Kate works from a strengths-based, person-centred stance. She helps clients set manageable steps and notice what is working in their lives.
Her clinical practice draws on acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused ideas, cognitive behaviour approaches and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. Mindfulness is used to help calm the nervous system and increase awareness in everyday moments.
People can expect practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Kate prioritises clear goals, emotion regulation skills and improving communication. She supports people to move through shame, guilt, isolation and the uncertainty that follows big relationship shifts.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop safer ways of relating and managing intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies and agree on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs and preferences become clearer.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people access approaches like ACT, attachment work and CBT from different locations, while focusing on clear goals and practical skills that transfer to everyday life.
