Hi, I鈥檓 Iga (she/her),

I鈥檓 an Integrative Counsellor offering anxiety, burnout and trauma counselling in Bexhill, and online across the UK.

I support adults (18+) who look capable on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected on the inside. Many of the people I work with are used to holding everything together. They are responsible, thoughtful and high-functioning - yet quietly struggling with burnout, self-criticism, perfectionism, people-pleasing or the lasting impact of relational trauma.

Who I Work with

You might recognise yourself here if you:

• Struggle to switch off your mind or relax without guilt
• Feel constantly tired, even when you rest
• Feel anxious, irritable or emotionally overwhelmed
• Set high standards for yourself and rarely feel it鈥檚 enough
• Prioritise others鈥� needs while neglecting your own
• Notice patterns in relationships that leave you feeling unseen, unfulfilled or drained
• Struggle with self-worth
• Feel disconnected from joy, creativity, or who you used to be

How therapy can help:

Our work together can support you to:

• Understand the roots of burnout, anxiety and self-criticism
• Reduce anxiety and chronic overwhelm
• Understand your nervous system responses and learn compassionate regulation tools
• Soften shame and your inner critic
• Develop healthier boundaries and self-trust
• Feel safe enough to rest, feel and choose yourself
• Develop more balanced, fulfilling relationships

I offer a grounded, inclusive and emotionally safe space where you don鈥檛 have to hold it all together. There鈥檚 no need to prove or perform anything - we start exactly where you are, with the messy, unsure, or stuck parts of yourself.

Therapy with me is collaborative and human, not clinical or distant. I bring warmth, depth, creativity and often humour (when appropriate) into our sessions. I care deeply about this work and feel continually inspired by the courage it takes to look inward. You don鈥檛 have to keep holding everything alone.

My approach:

My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from different modalities to tailor therapy to you and your unique needs.

Our work may include:

• Exploring different 鈥減arts鈥� of you (IFS -informed work)
• Understanding how past experiences shaped current patterns (psychodynamic therapy)
• Attachment-focused exploration - looking at how your early relationships influence how you connect now
• Nervous system awareness and body-based approaches (somatic therapy)
• Identifying copying strategies that once helped you survive (e.g: people-pleasing, perfectionism) Using creative tools if that feels helpful

At the core of my work is a relational approach. The therapeutic relationship isn鈥檛 just the backdrop - it鈥檚 central to healing. I prioritise attunement, authenticity and collaboration, working with you rather than 鈥渙n鈥� you.

My professional experience includes supporting clients struggling with anxiety, trauma responses, low self-worth, chronic stress, perfectionism, and relational patterns that feel difficult to change. I鈥檝e worked with professionals across a range of sectors, including charities, tech, academia, healthcare (including the NHS), and the creative industries. This breadth of experience helps me recognise both the visible struggles and the quieter, underlying dynamics that often sit beneath them.

A significant part of my work is with neurodivergent clients - both formally diagnosed and self-identified - including those discovering their ADHD or Autistic identity later in life. As a neurotypical counsellor, I bring both professional training in neurodiversity-affirmative practice and personal experience of living alongside neurodivergent family members.

From 2022 to 2025, I volunteered as a bereavement counsellor at St Michael鈥檚 Hospice in St Leonards-on-Sea, supporting individuals through grief and loss.

I am bilingual in English and Polish.

Initial Consultation & First Session

Finding the right counsellor or therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if you are feeling anxious, stuck, or unsure where to begin. To support you in taking this first step, I offer a free 20-minute introductory call, available by phone or online (Zoom or Google Meet).

This is a relaxed, no-obligation conversation where you can:

• ask any questions you may have about counselling or therapy
• share a little about what has been going on for you
• explore whether my way of working feels right for you

I will also explain my therapeutic approach and how I might be able to support you, so you can make an informed decision about starting therapy.

What to expect in the first counselling session

It is completely natural to feel nervous when beginning therapy. In our first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and clarifying what you would like help with. This initial assessment allows me to understand your needs, goals, and any previous experience of counselling.

I work at your pace and aim to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. There is no pressure to share more than you feel ready to.

Each counselling session lasts 50 minutes.

Hi, I鈥檓 Iga (she/her),

I offer counselling and trauma-informed therapy for adults (18+) who feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I work with have spent years holding everything together. They're responsible, thoughtful and often the person everyone else relies on, yet beneath the surface they're struggling with anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing or the lasting impact of relational trauma.

Who I work with

You might recognise yourself here if you:

• Find it difficult to switch off your mind or relax without feeling guilty.
  
• Feel constantly tired, even when you rest
  
• Experience anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or find yourself becoming increasingly overwhelemed
  
• Hold yourself to impossibly high standards and rarely feel like you're doing enough
  
• Put other people's needs before your own, leaving little time or energy for yourself
  
• Notice recurring patterns in relationships that leave you feeling unseen, unfulfilled or emotionally drained
  
• Struggle with self-worth
  
• Feel disconnected from yourself, your creativity, or the things that once brought you joy
  
• Feel like you're surviving rather than truly living

Our work together can support you to:

• Understand the roots of burnout, anxiety and self-criticism
• Reduce anxiety and chronic overwhelm
• Understand your nervous system responses and learn compassionate regulation tools
• Soften shame and your inner critic
• Develop healthier boundaries and self-trust
• Feel safe enough to rest, feel and choose yourself

Therapy with me is collaborative and human, not clinical or distant. I bring warmth, depth, creativity and often humour (when appropriate) into our sessions. I care deeply about this work and feel continually inspired by the courage it takes to look inward.  

Thank you for being here. If something in these words resonates, I鈥檇 warmly welcome you to reach out.

My approach:

I'm an integrative therapist which means I don't believe one therapeutic model fits everyone. Instead, I draw from a range of evidence-informed approaches and tailor therapy to your individual needs, experiences, and goals.

Our work may include:

Relational therapy 鈥� using the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing through trust, authenticity, and collaboration.

Attachment-focused therapy 鈥� exploring how early relationships may influence how you relate to yourself and others today.

Psychodynamic therapy 鈥� understanding how past experiences continue to shape present patterns, emotions, and relationships.

Parts work (IFS-informed) 鈥� getting to know the different parts of yourself with curiosity and compassion.

Somatic and nervous system awareness 

Creative approaches 鈥� where appropriate

My clinical experience includes supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, burnout, grief, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and relationship difficulties. I've worked with professionals across a wide range of sectors, including charities, technology, academia, media, healthcare (including the NHS), and the creative industries.

A significant part of my work is with neurodivergent clients - both formally diagnosed and self-identified - including those discovering their ADHD or Autistic identity later in life. As a neurotypical counsellor, I bring both professional training in neurodiversity-affirmative practice and personal experience of living alongside neurodivergent family members.

Between 2022 and 2025, I volunteered as a bereavement counsellor at St Michael's Hospice in St Leonards-on-Sea, supporting people living with grief following the death of a loved one, including those experiencing complex or long-term grief.

I am bilingual in English and Polish.
