Katarzyna Wicha

Please get in touch for my current availability.

Psychotherapy with me can help you move from anxiety, stuckness, self-doubt, and self-criticism towards a more peaceful relationship with yourself. There are no quick fixes in therapy, but it can be a powerful journey of self-discovery and a grounding anchor during difficult times.

I am a grounded, attuned and down-to-earth therapist. I believe every person is unique, as are their experiences and feelings.

My approach is humanistic and relational. I pay attention to how you experience relationships - both past and present - and how these patterns may show up in the therapy space. By building a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship, we can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a way that supports deeper understanding and meaningful change.

I am trained in Gestalt, Person-Centred and Transactional Analysis. The work might involve:

• Exploring how your past experiences influence your life
• Noticing how your mind and body interact
• Using creative or experiential exercises to look at a problem from a new angle
• Gently challenging patterns or perspectives when it feels safe and appropriate to do so
• Offering insights, reflections, or practical things to try out between the sessions

There is no right or wrong way to be in our sessions - you can bring anything to the space, from your deepest concerns to the smallest daily issues. 

You are welcome to get in touch so we can explore what brings you to therapy and how we might work together.

My practice is based in a quiet, comfortable location just five minutes from Richmond Station and in Twickenham near Twickenham Green.

I initially trained in Therapeutic Skills and Studies at The Metanoia Institute (London, UK), before completing a BSc (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling at Middlesex University, London and a Clinical Diploma at The Metanoia Institute. I have four years of university-level training.

I have also completed additional specialised training, including:

• Certificate in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Coaching, Operation Centaur, London.
• Certificate in Working with Refugee People and Their Families, The Tavistock and Portman, London

I am fully insured, receive regular professional supervision, and undertake ongoing CPD courses to continue developing my skills.

I have experience working across the NHS and a range of mental health charities.

The first session is an opportunity for us to explore in more detail what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, expectations and needs, and address any questions you may have. 

We will also talk about how we might work together, including the frequency and potential length of therapy. This will be reviewed regularly as part of our ongoing work. 

I offer an initial session for £50.

Whether you are navigating a specific crisis or want to understand yourself better - therapy can help you untangle old habits and find clarity. Psychotherapy with me is grounded, attuned and down-to-earth.

I am a Humanistic Therapist which means I integrate Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis. 

Psychotherapy with me might involve:

• Exploring how past experiences influence your here and now
• Noticing the connection between your mind and body.
• Gently challenging patterns when it feels safe and appropriate.
• Offering insights or practical things to try between sessions

It is important to me that you feel safe and in control of the process. There is no right or wrong way to be in our sessions; you can bring anything to the space, from your deepest concerns to the smallest daily issues.

First Session – What to Expect?

I understand that the first therapy session can sometimes feel daunting and my role is to support you from the very beginning.

 The first session is an opportunity for us to explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, expectations and needs, and address any questions you may have.

We will also talk about how we might work together, including the frequency and potential length of therapy. This will be reviewed regularly as part of our ongoing work. Some people benefit most from long-term therapy, while others experience meaningful change in just a few sessions - the duration always depends on your needs and goals.

You are very welcome to get in touch if you’d like to know more, schedule a session or have a chat about how we might work together.
