Paulina is a Gestalt psychotherapist and Clinical Manager at the Gestalt Clinic. She works with individuals, couples, and groups, offering a warm, relational and trauma-responsive approach grounded in present-moment awareness. Her work centres on how people come to understand themselves in relationship, to others, to their histories, and to the wider world.
Her clinical practice is shaped by extensive experience in group processes, embodied awareness and cross-cultural contexts. She offers both Gestalt psychotherapy and Schema Therapy, working at depth with enduring emotional and relational patterns. Her work is further informed by attachment theory, neurobiological understanding and somatic approaches.
Paulina holds a Master’s degree in Gestalt Psychotherapy with a special focus on group work. She is UKCP-registered (individual and group) and a Senior Accredited Registrant with NCPS, and currently serves as Interim Chair of UKAGP. Her experience in psychiatric settings strengthens her commitment to relational, non-pathologising practice, meeting people with clarity, respect and presence.
People who come to Paulina are often living with anxiety, trauma, depression, neurodivergence, or the psychological impact of diagnosis. Many feel caught in repeating patterns, overwhelmed, or seeking a more grounded understanding of themselves. Her work combines reflective dialogue with creative and experiential methods, supporting clients to engage directly with recurring patterns rather than only talking about them.
Before training as a psychotherapist, Paulina spent many years as an entrepreneur in Egypt, the US, Norway and the UK. This international background continues to inform her interest in belonging, cultural context, and how people relate across difference, themes that shape both her clinical and organisational work.
Paulina speaks English, Norwegian, and Spanish.

Healing begins in relationship.
Joanna offers a warm, attuned, and collaborative space where clients can explore what may feel unreachable, whether that’s stuckness, shame, emotional overwhelm, or a longing for deeper connection. Her approach is rooted in relational depth, embodied presence, and trauma-informed awareness. Together with her clients, she slows down and pays attention not just to words, but to how stories live in the body, in patterns, and in silence.
Many of the people Joanna works with carry complex histories, of migration, trauma, neurodivergence, or of feeling ‘othered’ in systems that haven’t made room for who they are. Some have learned to survive through perfectionism, emotional independence, or masking, but now long for something more than coping. Joanna supports clients in moving from self-criticism toward self-understanding, from dissociation toward grounded contact.
Her work is not about fixing, but about co-creating a space where something new can emerge – a space where boundaries are felt, not just spoken; where grief, anger, pride, and joy are honoured rather than pathologised; and where language, especially if it isn’t a first language, doesn’t have to carry everything, because the body already knows what is true.
Joanna is particularly drawn to working with people who feel deeply, think in layers, and have often felt misunderstood. She holds space with sensitivity to difference, ambiguity, and the in-between places where meaning forms, especially for those navigating cultural displacement, identity shifts, or experiences of marginalisation.
Her approach honours both visible and invisible identities, and the complex stories her clients carry. She also works with transgenerational trauma, gently exploring what clients may be carrying that doesn’t belong to them. These inherited survival styles, shaped by the experiences of parents, grandparents, and earlier generations, often live quietly in the body, in relationships, and in expectations. Joanna supports clients in noticing, naming, and releasing what has been held for too long.
In addition, she offers support to women who are pregnant, trying to conceive, or contemplating parenthood. Joanna recognises that these experiences can bring up complex feelings around identity, fear of losing autonomy, pressure to “get it right,” or the resurfacing of past trauma. Whether facing fertility challenges, uncertainty about motherhood, or anxiety during pregnancy, clients are invited to explore these themes with care and compassion.
Whether someone is navigating trauma, burnout, identity, depression, anxiety, or simply feeling emotionally stuck, Joanna meets them with curiosity, care, and respectful challenge. This work takes courage, and no one has to do it alone.
Joanna speaks English and Polish.

Brian is a relational Gestalt psychotherapist working with individuals and groups. His approach to therapy is that healing and change come through support and awareness.
Life is full of challenges and difficulties that can leave us feeling hurt, lonely, or unable to move on. Brian specialises in helping clients navigate these unresolved situations and the meaning they hold for you.
Brian’s approach begins with an understanding that we live our lives in relationships. How we make sense of the world is through the relationships and situations we encounter, including the relationship we have with ourselves.
We often learn to build ourselves up to compensate for the pain we’ve experienced. However, sometimes our ways of dealing with situations become fixed, leading to beliefs about ourselves and others that get in the way of us being seen, understood and the pursuit of our goals.
Sometimes, we get in our own way. We don’t always realise this because we adapt to what life throws our way. Brian provides a supportive space to examine how we’ve adapted and how we may have become accustomed to responding to people and situations in ways that no longer serve us. Brian offers a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore these patterns and try out new ways of being, by supporting ourselves, acknowledging our needs, and asking for what we need.
Brian takes a holistic approach, which means working with all parts of your experience; including thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations and overall sense of life. He will also support you to become more aware of your own process – how you respond to people and situations with a focus on your immediate thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Brian is experienced in working with anxiety, depression, shame, relationship and family issues, life changes, bereavement, trauma, anger, critical thoughts, as well as feeling lonely or isolated. He is sensitive to experiences of inequality and exclusion, supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including black, Asian, and LGBT communities, as well as neurodiverse individuals.
Brian holds an MA in Communities, Organisations and Social Change, and his extensive experience in these areas informs his work as a counsellor and psychotherapist.
Brian works short and long term with clients, both in person and online.

Her approach is grounded in relational Gestalt principles, integrating attachment theory, embodied awareness, and here-and-now dialogue.

Daniela is a Gestalt and Creative Arts Counsellor working with individuals, couples, and groups through a relational, embodied, and creative Gestalt and Person-Centred approach. She offers a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space to navigate emotions and thoughts, develop self-awareness and acceptance, and promote change attuned with our true nature.
Through relational dialogue, creative arts, and embodied experience, sessions with Daniela are alive and active, a collaborative journey of discovery that supports people in moving from feeling stuck toward a more authentic, connected, and fulfilling way of living.
Daniela’s approach is integrative and creative, adapting fluidly to the pace and needs of each individual. She draws from:
Gestalt Therapy and Embodied Process: working in the “here and now” to illuminate patterns in how we relate to ourselves and others
Person-Centred Creative Arts: using artwork to give voice to what words alone cannot always reach.
Daniela works with young people (ages 13+) and adults across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relational trauma, loneliness, low self-esteem, shame, emotional dysregulation, identity, digital wellbeing, and technology addiction. Sessions are available in English and Italian.
Daniela’s background is rooted in philosophy, holding a MSc degree in Contemporary Philosophy, a foundation that drew her naturally toward applied ethics and the study of the human emotions and mind. Drawn to practical and experiential tools that could bring this thinking to life, she trained formally in Psychosocial Gestalt, gaining her Diploma in 2016, before going on to deepen her clinical grounding with an MSc in Clinical and Rehabilitation Psychology. This journey, from philosophical inquiry through Gestalt practice into clinical psychology, continues to shape her existential and relational approach today.
Before moving to the UK, Daniela spent several years teaching Italian to refugees, an experience that deepened her sensitivity to identity, displacement, and the courage it takes to begin again in unfamiliar territory. She also trained as a Sexual Consultant and Educator, and as a Clinical Expert in Technological Addictions, two specialisms that continue to inform her understanding of how people relate to themselves, their bodies, and the digital world. During this period, she also co-facilitated group workshops as a Counselling Tutor at the Centro Italiano di Gestalt (Catania, Italy).
Since moving to the UK, Daniela has worked as a Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner with children and young people aged 5–21 with complex SEND, ASD, and ADHD needs, and as a Counsellor and ADHD Assessor at Rainbow Medical Group in Oxford, administering the DIVA-5 and Young DIVA-5 under the supervision of Consultant Psychiatrists. She holds specialist training in the ADOS-2 and ADI-R and brings this neurodiversity affirming perspective into both her assessment and therapeutic work. She has also integrated in her approach the use of Person-Centred Creative Arts in therapy at APCCA, Association for Person-Centred Creative Arts (UK). She is currently in the second year of an MSc in Gestalt Psychotherapy at the H.C.C. Institute (Italy).
