Hi, I'm Zosia (she/her)

I'm a registered counsellor with a lot of compassion for all the emotions that are a part of our human experience.​ I'm a Polish Kiwi, an LGBTQIA+ ally and a feminist with a warm bubbly personality and strong feelings about social justice. 

Many of the people I work with are insightful and self-aware, and have often engaged in previous therapy. While this has helped them understand their patterns, they may not have experienced the deeper, lasting change they’re looking for. I am passionate about offering personalised support that welcomes all parts of you and helps you reach deeper healing that goes beyond awareness and actually helps you feel and act differently. ​​​​

Beyond my specialist training, I regularly consult with experienced clinicians to provide the highest level of care. When you work with me, you gain access to my  spcialist knowledge and experience and also to theirs.

 

I cherish the therapeutic relationships I have with my clients. Research shows that a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of what 'works' in therapy, so let's chat about whether I am the right person to help you reach your goals.​​​
