Marta's way of working

Marta is a warm and compassionate person who takes a genuine interest in the 'stories' of her clients. She works with clients using cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) tools and techniques and tailors her approach to meet each person's individual needs and preferences. During sessions, Marta works collaboratively, offering a respectful, non-judgemental and confidential space in which clients can explore and challenge their unhelpful thinking patterns to improve the way they feel. Marta is passionate about supporting people in their journey of long-lasting change.

Marta is fluent in Polish and is happy to work with people who would feel more comfortable speaking in this language.
