Therapies for Adults
‍Psychotherapy

"Embrace the power of your thoughts, conquer your fears, and let your beliefs guide you." – Marianne Williamson

Hello there,

Here, at the Little Health Hub, I provide a welcoming space filled with warmth and compassion. It's a place where you can explore the complexities of life, unburdened and secure in your confidentiality.  The struggles that adults and adolescents bring to me come in various shades, from the anxious whispers of uncertainty to the deafening echoes of self-doubt. They manifest as body dysmorphia, disordered eating, fears that grip like phantoms, and the isolating dance of relationship difficulties. This is merely a glimpse into the reasons people seek solace in our sessions.

Over the past few years, my path has taken me from community counselling services to nurturing the minds of students in schools, and now, to seeing clients in this hub of community life. Throughout this journey, I've encountered a tapestry of mental health challenges, each unique and deeply personal.  In this safe, judgment-free space, the healing journey begins.

Here is a space where I celebrate neurodiversity, valuing the beautiful differences that make each individual unique. I believe in strengths and rights, embracing your neurodivergent identity without seeking to "fix" or "cure" your neurotype.

When we work together, I draw from a palette of approaches – from the rich depths of psychodynamics to the fascinating insights of neuroscience, the practical wisdom of CBT, and the empowering principles of coaching. It's a journey as unique as you are, guided by your needs and aspirations.

So, if you're ready to embark on this voyage of self-discovery and healing, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to listen, to understand, and to support you every step of the way.

I’m a UKCP psychotherapist in training. I offer low-cost, in-person therapy from The Little Health Hub, on Tuesdays.

I’m a friendly and respectful practitioner who will welcome you as you are. I will be present to the spectrum of your experience and work with you to understand what is happening, what you would like to focus on and whether I can help.

From my own experience, I know how invaluable it is to find a trusted therapeutic support, someone who can be present and bring confidence to, whatever journey we are on.

Sessions with me take the form of weekly one-to-one meetings for one hour. Core Process Psychotherapy is open-ended and may last weeks, months or longer. We would make an agreement after 6 weeks and review how you felt about the therapy work as time went on. If we decide to work together, my sessions are charged using a sliding scale of between £35 - £17. This means you can place yourself at a fee that feels sustainable for you. Initial sessions are all £15.

I look forward to hearing from you.

My name is Beata and I have been practicing Gestalt Psychotherapy in Oxford since 2019, offering 1:1 sessions for adults. I facilitate therapy in English and in Polish, both face to face and via online platforms, usually using Zoom. I work with both long and short-term therapy. Most of my working life was spent working in a people facing role in the Corporate Sector, however, after 15 years or so, I began to notice feeling unfulfilled. As I was searching for depth and meaning in my own life, I came across Gestalt Therapy as a client, what inspired me to starting Gestalt training.

Working as a psychotherapist, I keep a good balance between challenging and supporting clients. I give all my attention to the client, and I strive to accept them with everything that they bring. I see clients in a safe environment. I work with experimentation, paying attention to and inviting movement and sensations clients may feel in their bodies. It is a creative approach where you and I may experiment with creative forms of expressing feelings and attending to the felt sense. I am open to explore ways to work together that best suit you. This includes but is not limited to working with movement, art, voice, music, dreams, poetry etc. I have a particular interest in themes of love, connection, belonging and loneliness.

What I can help with:

• Personal, Family and Work Issues
• Anxiety, Stress, Depression
• Loss, Separation, Emotional Blocks
• Feeling Low, Self Esteem
• Conflict, Anger
• Cultural issues, Cross-cultural Relationships
• New Beginnings, Life Changes, Parenting Challenges
• Redundancy, Personal Development, Spirituality, Confidence, Sexuality, Sexual Abuse Health Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Trauma
• Eating disorders

Deciding to start therapy can be a big decision. After an initial conversation, we decide together how often we see each other, the focus and length of our work. I work both with time-limited therapy and with more open long-term therapy. You can make an appointment by emailing or calling me.

As your therapist I will provide a safe space in which you can explore any emotional, social or mental health issues. In therapy sessions with me you can express your feelings and gain deeper insight into yourself and your relationships with others. Our sessions are confidential, so you can talk about things you might not feel comfortable discussing with anyone else. The goal is to help you find better ways to cope and to bring about changes in the way you think and behave that will improve your mental and emotional well-being.

Therapy can be short or long term. The number of sessions will depend on the depth and complexity of the issues you want to resolve. It is unusual for therapy to last for less than six sessions, and some types of therapy may last for two years or more.

As an integrative therapist I use a range of approaches and methods and tailor the approach to each individual client. I work on the basis that that there is no 'one size fits all' approach. There is an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client.

Therapy can benefit anyone facing issues such as:

• anxiety
• feelings of depression, sadness, grief or emptiness
• inability to cope
• problems dealing with stress or recovering from stressful situations
• lack of confidence/self-esteem or extreme shyness
• coping with the effects of abuse
• extreme mood swings
• difficulty making or sustaining relationships, or repeatedly becoming involved in unsatisfying or destructive relationships
• sexual problems
• difficulties coming to terms with losses such as bereavement, divorce or loss of employment
• eating disorders
• self-harm
• obsessive behaviour
• panic attacks and phobia
• addiction

Therapy can also help you to develop new perspectives and discover alternative options if you are stuck or at a crossroads in your life.
