Barbara Josik , BACP

Barbara Josik is an integrative psychodynamic counsellor who offers a warm, non-judgmental and compassionate space to explore difficult thoughts, feelings and life events. Working from an integrative psychodynamic perspective, she supports people to uncover patterns and aspects of experience that may lie outside conscious awareness, helping them develop greater clarity and emotional relief. She combines psychodynamic work with humanistic and trauma-informed approaches, body psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gestalt techniques and inner-child work, shaping the therapeutic process around each person’s needs and priorities.

Therapy with Barbara is presented as a collaborative process that asks for commitment and patience; sessions are typically fifty minutes and held weekly, with the possibility of more frequent meetings depending on need and availability. She has four years of experience in a variety of mental health and therapeutic settings, supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, social anxiety, anger management, relationship and family difficulties, stress, loss and bereavement, and low self-esteem. Barbara works in English and Polish and holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting professional affiliation within the United Kingdom.
