Trauma-informed therapy to soothe anxiety, release burnout, rebuild your self-worth, and step out of survival mode.
I offer in-person counselling in Bexhill and online across the UK & EU.
Hi and welcome, I’m Iga (she/her),
I support adults(18+) who look capable on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected on the inside. Many of the people I work with are used to holding everything together. They are responsible, thoughtful and high-functioning - yet quietly struggling with burnout, self-criticism, perfectionism, people-pleasing or the lasting impact of relational trauma.
If you’ve tried coping tools, podcasts, self-help books or therapy and still feel stuck - maybe even losing hope that things can change - I really hear you. I’ve been there at different points in my life, and I know how heavy that place can feel. I hope you can offer yourself the same chance you’d offer someone you care about. You are not alone.
Together, we explore the patterns that have kept you in survival mode - not to judge them, but to understand them. When we approach these parts of you with curiosity and compassion, real change becomes possible.
Therapy with me is relational and collaborative. The connection we build matters. At your pace, we work towards helping you feel safer within yourself, quieter in your mind, and more able to live - not just cope.
I bring warmth, depth, creativity and often humour (when appropriate) into our sessions. I care deeply about this work and feel continually inspired by the courage it takes to look inward. You don’t have to keep holding everything alone.
Beginning therapy often comes at a moment when something inside you is ready for change - even if you still feel unsure or afraid. It takes courage to open yourself to a safe, trusting relationship and to gently explore experiences that may have been carried alone for a long time. When you feel ready to take that step, therapy can become a meaningful space for understanding, growth, and reconnection with yourself.
I warmly invite you to give yourself permission to begin and reach out to explore whether working together feels right for you.
Life may not look the way you imagined
You might find yourself feeling unworthy, stuck, and drained, questioning your identity and whether you can create a life that feels better.
Life’s challenges might make you feel like you’ve failed, leaving you wondering why you keep pushing forward.
Deep down, you long for joy, peace, and connection - yet fears and insecurities keep creeping in, convincing you that it’s out of reach.
Perhaps you’ve learnt to run from the pain or hide it away, hoping that one day it will fade. You might find yourself caught in cycles of self-blame, isolation, or exhaustion.
I hear you. I see you. I am here to help.
Who I work with
You might be here because:
You feel constantly on edge, anxious, burnt-out, or unable to relax
Overthinking, perfectionism, or people-pleasing are wearing you down
You feel disconnected from your needs, emotions, or sense of self
Past relational or emotional trauma still affects your confidence or relationships
You feel numb or low, yet also overwhelmed by your emotions
You feel like an imposter despite your achievements
You feel exhausted, yet rest feels unbearable, it floods you with guilt and anxiety
You’re questioning who you are beyond roles, responsibilities, or expectations
You’re tired of just getting through the day and want life to feel more meaningful and manageable
If any of this sounds familiar, don’t struggle one alone - I’d love to support you.
How therapy can help
Together, we can work towards:
Helping you understand your nervous system responses and develop practical, compassionate ways to regulate
Reducing anxiety, overwhelm, and self-criticism
Feeling calmer and more grounded, without constant mental noise
Reconnecting with emotions such as anxiety, anger, or grief - at a pace that feels safe
Healing the impact of relational trauma and repeated experiences of not feeling safe, seen, or supported
Releasing shame and softening your inner critic
Developing healthier boundaries and self-trust
Feeling safe enough to rest, feel, and choose yourself
Moving from survival mode into a life that feels more connected, fulfilling, and true to you
Starting therapy can feel daunting, therefore I offer a free 15-minute consultation via Zoom or phone so we can meet, discuss your needs, and see if we’re a good fit.
