Karolina Orenczak , BACP

Karolina Orenczak specialises in working with trauma, attachment wounds, relationships and early childhood experiences, offering a trauma-informed and compassionate style of therapy. She supports people who have faced loss, abuse or difficult early bonds to find greater safety in the present, to reconnect with their inner child, and to shape a life that reflects their own values and needs.

Karolina recognises that unprocessed trauma and relational pain can contribute to anxiety, depression, addiction, post-traumatic stress and other mood or personality difficulties. Her practice aims to help clients process those experiences and reduce the ways those wounds continue to affect daily living.

Her clinical approach is integrative and trauma-focused, blending Transactional Analysis with Brainspotting. Transactional Analysis is used to explore interpersonal patterns and inner states, while Brainspotting - a neuro-experiential method - is applied to address trauma, anxiety, depression and attachment-related concerns. She also delivers the stabilisation phase of trauma work by combining Transactional Analysis models with the STAIR protocol and grounding techniques to support emotional regulation and safety.

Karolina holds a BSc in Psychology and an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling specialising in Transactional Analysis. She is a certified Brainspotting practitioner (Phase 1 and 2) and has completed training in grief and bereavement counselling, Rewind Therapy, Shadow Mastery, an introduction to Narrative Exposure Therapy, and a certificate in working with couples. She also holds BACP membership - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and is the author of an Inner Child Workbook and Journal. Her ongoing professional development allows her to blend methods and tailor therapy to each person’s unique journey.
