Mary Puczyniec

As a fully qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP I offer individual counselling in a compassionate and confidential space at my private practice in Twickenham , TW1. My approach allows you the opportunity to tell your story and gives you the chance to explore feelings and thoughts, in your own time and at your own pace. I work in an open, non-judgemental and objective way. My aim is for you to feel supported and to reach a point where you are better equipped to cope with the future. My model is “Integrative”, this means I am able to use elements from many of the theoretical approaches, allowing me to work with a wide variety of tools to address each client’s specific requirements. My qualifications include a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Certifications in Counselling Skills (Level 2 and 3) I work privately with long and short term clients, children, young people and adults. I charge £60 for a 50 minute session and work days and evenings. By considering counselling, you have taken a great first step and I am here to support you as you take the next one. Please do email or call me, in confidence, with no obligations.

As a result of the challenges COVID-19 presented, I have been able to adapt quickly to the requirements of my clients. I now offer a blended counselling approach,  I offer both face to face or remote sessions. 

My  model of integrative counselling , encompasses a person centred approach, coupled with psychodynamic elements. I also call upon other aspects such as transactional analysis, CBT and many more, to ensure that the counselling relationship is unique to each individual client. 

The first session is focused on understanding if I am the right counsellor for you and if indeed counselling is right path for you to take. It can be daunting to take this first step so I will gently lead  you through some questions around your motivations for starting counselling, any expectations or previous experience, and of course I’m keen to understand about your life now. 

It is a two way process and I’m happy to answer any questions you have about me or my way of counselling. 

At the end of the session the aim would be to agree on next steps, hopefully together.
