Meet your therapist
Psychologist • Trauma-Sensitive Integrative Therapist • CBT, EMDR & Mindfulness Specialist
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Luiza. I offer compassionate, focused, and evidence-based treatment for anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties. I support high-achieving go-getters who feel stuck in past trauma to move from survival mode into a life that feels grounded, connected, and genuinely free.
Personal Passion & Expertise
I bring a rare and deeply authentic combination of professional training and lived experience to my work. I’m not just a therapist who has studied trauma — I’ve lived it. My approach blends trauma-informed CBT, EMDR therapy, mindfulness practice, and self-compassion. I draw on both professional expertise and lived experience of trauma, which helps me meet clients with honesty, depth, and real understanding. My clients often say they feel seen, not just treated — and that’s my intention.
I use active, practical tools that create real change:
CBT for anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and unhelpful patterns
EMDR therapy for trauma, PTSD, and difficult memories
Mindfulness and somatic practices to cultivate presence, calm, and emotional regulation
Relationship counselling and couple therapy for communication, trust, and connection
I help you not just to understand patterns, but to shift them. Practicing skills that move you from suffering to action - from blindly following your echoing past to genuine freedom. Every session is trauma-sensitive and grounded in safety, trust, and empowerment.
My Unique Approach
I work with the SAFE Method™ (Self-Awareness • Acceptance • Facing • Embodiment) — a mindfulness-based, body-focused framework supporting high-achieving adults to overcome overthinking, self-criticism, and perfectionism. Learn more about this unique approach here..
What Makes My Therapy Different
Depth: trauma-informed, NICE-recommended approaches with long-lasting results
Integration: CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and body-based therapy for whole-person healing
Authenticity: I bring lived experience, cultural sensitivity, and genuine presence — no sugar-coating, always compassionate and real

My Professional Journey
I have 15+ years of experience in both the NHS and private practice, supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, and relationship challenges. I currently work within a major London NHS Trust, providing trauma-sensitive therapy to healthcare staff exposed to critical incidents. I also offer clinical supervision for counsellors and psychologists.
Therapy is available in English and Polish.
I’m registered with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), accredited with EMDR UK, registered with the British Association of Mindfulness-Based Approaches (BAMBA), and qualified as a Mindfulness Supervisor with the Mindfulness Network.
If you're looking for effective treatment for trauma or PTSD, therapy for anxiety, or a trauma-sensitive, online CBT therapist, I’m here to help you take the next step.
