Marta Kurowska-Barnett

I see adult clients weekday evenings and Saturdays.

In-person appointments are available at Victoria Therapy Centre in Saltaire, Shipley, BD18 3LQ. 

I also offer remote sessions delivered online and telephone. 

I offer a free 10-minutes consultation.

A warm welcome to my profile. I'm Marta, a qualified therapist based in Saltaire, West Yorkshire. I offer in-person and remote sessions, online and via telephone.

My professional background is in the social housing sector, where I've developed a deep understanding of the environmental factors that impact our wellbeing. I’ve witnessed first-hand how every day circumstances can profoundly affect mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.

Additionally, within the last years, I have worked with victims and survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence offering trauma-informed support to survivors and their children. I am a qualified and trained Independent Domestic Violence Adviser (IDVA) and a Restorative Justice and mediation Practitioner.

I work relationally, offering a truly personalised therapeutic relationship tailored to you, underpinned by various therapeutic approaches and techniques to meet your individual needs.

During our time together, we’ll explore what matters most to you. My role is to create a collaborative, safe, and non-judgmental environment so that you feel supported as we work through your challenges, helping you make sense of your experiences and find a path forward.

I’m bilingual offering therapy sessions in English and Polish.

I hold a degree in Counselling and Psychology and progressed to a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am currently in the process of obtaining an Masters in Integrative Counselling.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I see adult clients for short-term and long-terms therapy.

My approach is trauma-informed, humanistic, and integrative. I use different techniques depending on what fits your needs, and my primary focus is on building a supportive and collaborative relationship with you, while exploring what really matters to you.

I believe you're the expert in your own life, and my role is to create a space where you feel truly listened to, without judgment, so you can make sense of your experience. I'll offer caring and thoughtful interventions, but I won’t push solutions - I’m here to support you on your own path.

I work ethically, following the framework set out by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

My fee is £50 for a 50-minutes in-person session at Victoria Therapy Centre in Saltaire, Shipley, BD18 3LQ and £45 for a 50-minutes remote appointment (online or telephone).

The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, and I believe it's essential to find a connection that feels right for you. 

To ensure we're a good fit, I offer a free 10-minutes consultation where we can discuss your needs, and you can get a sense of who I am and how I work.

In our very first session I will carry out an assessment with you by completing a brief questionnaire form to get a better sense of you, your hopes, expectations and your goals.

You can book a free consultation or request an appointment at a time that suits you through my website www.martabarnett.com, the BACP contact form, or by emailing me at contact@martabarnett.com
