Karolina Wtorkowska

I offer a reflective and creative space for individuals seeking personal growth and emotional well-being. My approach is collaborative, providing a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can explore past experiences and current challenges. I am an accredited psychotherapist and a registered provider with major UK health insurers, including AXA, Bupa, Bupa Global, Aviva, Vitality, and WPA, accepting both insured and self-paying clients. Sessions are available in-person and online, tailored to meet your needs.

I offer:

• A reflective, collaborative and creative space.
  

• Time to reflect on your experience, to look back reviewing past events or situations (Retrospect) to examine and observe your own mental and emotional process (Introspect).

• Safe and non-judgmental space.

• Professional experience and expertise

• Empathic understanding (empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another; is to understand and feel what another person is experiencing from within the other person’s perspective (frame of reference)).

• A therapeutic relationship. Therapy/counselling is always relational. It happens between two people (the client and the therapist) in real time (‘here and now’); as Buber stated: ‘All real meetings are healing’.

• Space where you can focus on your achievements, values and beliefs.

• Time and space to communicate, open up and offload. Share.
  

• Structure and regularity – therapy room can be seen as a meeting point for the client and the therapist to meet on a regular basis (usually once a week).

• Protective space when you can stop for a moment (for the duration of the session) and put your mind and body at rest. Pause rather than react.
  

• An opportunity to reconnect with your feelings.

• An opportunity to resolve historical and present conflicts. Resolution of conflicts can lead to a deeper sense of meaning in life and therefore enhance your well-being.

I am an accredited and experience psychotherapist/ supervisor. I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision from Derby University. In my practice, I focus on a formation of a good supervisory working alliance between myself and the supervisee. Therefore, I work collaboratively and the central focus of my supervisory practice is the supervisee - supervisor relationship through which an intersubjective perceptual space emerges, allowing for reflection.

I tend to put importance on the relational, co-creative, inter-subjective space created through mutuality, engagement and empathy. I aim to generate a paradigm shift from two individuals looking at the client, to a relational intersubjective and perceptual space created through and towards a supervisee-supervisor relationship, allowing a new way of perceiving the client.
