Hi and welcome - I'm Iga,

​

​I am a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor. I offer online therapy to clients in the UK & the EU and face to face sessions in Bexhill on Sea.

​

I specialise in supporting adults with anxiety, stress and an anxiety-based depression. I have a particular interest in working with parents who face perinatal mental health challenges or experienced birth trauma.​​

​

If you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and ready to take the next step in your life, you are in the right place.​​​

​​

I have a particular interest in a couple of areas that are close to my heart: 

​

​​SUPPORTING PARENTS THROUGH PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES

​

​

Whether you’re pregnant and struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling isolated in your struggles, or coping with the aftermath of a traumatic birth experience that keeps you in survival mode, you are not alone. I’m here to offer my support.

​

Pregnancy, childbirth, and the transition to parenthood can stir a variety of emotions that are rarely discussed, leaving parents feeling overwhelmed and guilty. 

​

Parenthood can be overwhelming and emotional. With me, there's no need to put on a façade or pretend everything is okay. I'm here to help you work through complex and difficult emotions, tap into your strengths, and restore your sense of balance. You deserve to thrive, not just get by, constantly giving your energy to others.

​​

ANXIETY

​

I have extensive experience working with anxiety and panic disorders, which can often lead to feelings of overwhelm and burnout. Anxiety can feel all-consuming, leaving you stuck in a constant state of fight, flight, or freeze. This ongoing tension can drain your energy and joy, often leading to physical symptoms like aches & pains, migraines, fatigue or decreased immunity.

​​​​​​​​​​

I understand how very lonely and exhausting it is to feel anxious, overwhelmed or 'not good enough".​ Sometimes we can feel guilty or ashamed about things that have happened (or are currently happening) that are difficult to talk about. The pain, confusion or worry can become overwhelming. I can help you explore what’s going on in your life and support you in regaining the sense of calm and clarity.

​

Whatever you’re facing with anxiety, I'm here for you.

​​​​​​​​​​​

Do you find it hard to switch off the racing, intrusive thoughts? Have you found your concerns over your baby’s health or safety are affecting your daily life? Have you have experienced panic attacks? Do you find it hard to enjoy being a parent and feel overwhelmed by the stress and worries? Do you feel like you are failing as a parent or as a partner ?

My approach

​​

My approach is to work with and alongside you, providing a confidential and non-judgemental space where you can freely share whatever you'd like. In therapy, all emotions are welcomed and valued, it is a space for you to be yourself. While therapy might feel intimidating at first, I hope that over time, you'll experience how empowering and healing the process can be. We will go at your pace.

​

I approach my work in a trauma-informed way, recognising how trauma can influence behaviour, emotions, and responses. My aim is to create a safe, supportive, and empowering space that promotes trust and healing.

​​​​

The relationship you build with your therapist is crucial to making the changes you’re seeking within yourself. From my own experience, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable, supported, and at ease with the person guiding you through this process.​​​​
