Psychological Consultation
Our first meeting will constitute a psychological consultation during which we will discuss your difficulties and begin to making sense of them. Sometimes we need more than one session in order to establish a plan and decide upon the best course of actions.
If we decide that psychological therapy is the right form of treatment for you, we can agree to meet regularly on a weekly basis for an extended period of time. If I feel that there might be more suitable options or services available to you, we will be able to discuss them during the consultation.
Psychological Therapy
Psychological therapy involves a process of regular weekly meetings during which we focus on exploring your difficulties and making sense of your past and present relationship patterns. This process usually takes place over a longer period of time and it requires a certain level of commitment. This might involve a single therapeutic model or a blend of various techniques and models to suit your needs and individual qualities. It is advised to attend your sessions regularly to make the most out of your therapy.

I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience working in the NHS as well as private and charitable organizations in the UK.
I developed an expertise in complex adult mental health while working in secondary and more specialist tertiary services across South East London where I specialised in helping people with complex mental health presentations including developmental trauma and personality disorders. I am currently working full-time in private practice in my consulting room in South East London and Weybridge, Surrey. I am also a visiting lecturer at The Institute of Psychiatry in London delivering teaching for trainee clinical psychologists.
I offer assessments and reports as an expert witness within adult mental health. I have extensive knowledge and expertise in assessing and treating trauma, complex PTSD, personality disorders, anxiety disorders and depression as well as suitability assessment for psychological therapy. I have undertaken a number of personal injury cases related to road traffic accidents, work-related accidents and criminal behaviours. The assessments can be conducted in English and Polish. For further details, including fee structure and to arrange an initial brief consultation on the phone please contact me.
Teaching and Training
I offer teaching and training on topics related to the practice of clinical psychology as well as the application of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for the treatment of complex trauma and the history of psychedelic psychotherapy. A suitable programme can be arranged according to your personal requirements.
Supervision
I offer supervision to trainee psychologists and psychotherapists. I specialise in consulting on treatment of complex trauma and personality disorders. Supervision can be arranged individually or in a group setting.
Reports
Psychological Reports or letters on your behalf can be requested for an additional charge. Please let me know in advance if you are seeking a professional letter of any kind or are seeking therapy as part of a legal claim.
Psychedelic Integration Sessions
I also work with people who have had challenging experiences using psychedelic substances such as MDMA, LSD, psilocybin and would like to access professional help integrating and processing their experiences. This might involve both positive and negative experiences that could be related to previous traumatic events in your life.
Please note, that I do not offer psychedelic psychotherapy and I do not encourage drug use. Psychedelic substances can have a profound impact on human’s mind including both positive and negative impact and have to be treated with respect.
Listen to my conference talk on MDMA:
Can MDMA Facilitate Treatment Of Borderline Personality Disorder?
Filmed at Breaking Convention 2017 - 4th International Conference on Psychedelic Consciousness University of Greenwich London, June 30th-July 2nd 2017
In this talk I argue that MDMA has a potential to become an essential tool for treatment of people with complex personality structures such as borderline personality disorder (BPD). MDMA should be seen as a gateway which allows the patient to connect with their vulnerabilities in order to embark on a psychotherapy journey to recovery. I provide a theoretical basis for the mechanisms underlying borderline personality disorder and how MDMA can be used with current treatment models for example mentalization-based treatment (MBT). I will also propose how the use of MDMA in the National Health Service (NHS) can transform the way we think and treat our patients, giving a chance for both clinicians and our patients to benefit from MDMA-assisted psychotherapy.
