Anna Mikolajczyk

I am a Master’s-level qualified, BACP-registered psychotherapist based in central London, near Great Portland Street.

I believe that the right therapeutic relationship can offer safety, understanding, insightful perspective, and compassionate care, guiding you towards healing. My approach is non-pathologising and holistic, attending to your individual mind-body experience of the world. It is always tailored to you.

Your journey and how I may help

Painful or traumatic experiences may be overwhelming and lonely to try to make sense of alone. They affect not only our feelings, but how we physically experience the world and relate to others. We may not be aware of what we need to move forward.

I aim to be your dedicated companion as we explore what’s underneath the anxiety, anger, depression, or grief, and how it impacts your experience of the present, and view of the future. As we gently attend to this process, we can begin to uncover what may be creating obstacles or stuckness in your life. 

I believe that we all desire to be truly seen and understood, and experiencing this within the safety of a trusted therapeutic relationship has the potential for meaningful change. As we attend to our emotions, thoughts, and body, our difficulties of living can shift, we can grow from where we are, and open to new possibilities. 

I am based in Fitzrovia, easily accessible from Regent's Park, Great Portland Street, and Oxford Street stations. I also offer sessions online.

My experience and qualifications

I trained in integrative psychotherapy at Regent's University London, which allows me to draw from several different therapy approaches in response to your needs. My work is rooted in the existential frame of reference, considering questions of meaning in the unique context of your experience in the world — your past and recent experiences, and your future aspirations. I also work relationally, considering the therapeutic relationship as a vital means of connecting with your holistic mind-body experience.

Having lived in Canada, Japan, and now the UK, I am particularly interested in notions of identity and sensitive to the diverse contexts and relationships that shape who we are. This multicultural experience enriches my therapeutic practice, allowing me to connect deeply with clients from various backgrounds.

The dynamic of the relationship is a core aspect of therapy. Our first session is a chance for me to understand your needs, and for us to get a sense of how we could work together. If you prefer, we can start with a free 15-20min introductory video or phone call.
