nna Jezuita:English & Polish Speaking Therapist in LondonCounselling (MBACP accred) and Therapy in PolishI originally qualified as a Barrister in my native Poland, then changed career directions when I moved to the UK 18 years ago. I gained my postgraduate diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (Integrative) at the University of East London in 2003, complemented by a Diploma in Clinical Supervision in 2016.I offer counselling and therapy in Polish and English, in my quiet, comfortable therapy rooms in Holborn, Central London, WC1 or Streatham South London SW16.In my counselling career I have worked in a wide range of environments including family support services and drug rehabilitation programs in London prisons and in the community, whilst continuing to deliver lectures at Warsaw University – Psychology Department over the years.Me as a therapist – who will you meet?In my therapeutic work I relate to clients from a position of an ‘equal with expertise’ rather than an elevated expert. With my personal experience of living with addictions, divorce, changing countries and professions – not belonging, I strive to approach people from a position of somebody who is also still grappling with life, hence I feel I have compassion with my client’s struggles, rather than looking on as an expert with a ready made solution.My barrister training allows me to see and relate to problems without attachment to one view. Mindfulness based approach combines logic with warm compassion, helping to re-frame clients’ view on a certain situation or thought, and create an instant shift and relief of client’s anxiety.I am also a Mindfulness Teacher with a keen interest in running Mindfulness Workshops for anybody looking to find a more calm and measured relationship with life and its challenges.https://jezuitatherapy.co.uk/
