Kasia Galagus

I was born in Poland but have lived in the UK nearly 30 years and now consider it home. ​Working in the helping profession is my second career. I came to it after my life in a business setting. What I learned along the way is the inevitability of change. I offer a deep therapeutic relationship in which you can explore and understand patterns of thinking, feelings, and ways of being that underlie your difficulties. Sometimes it is through creating a space to be with yourself in the presence of another person that we can come to know ourselves better. My approach to psychotherapy is based on the Core Process Model which is mindfulness-based, embodied and relational approach to depth psychotherapy. I intend to create a safe, real, and compassionate space where all parts of you can be seen and accepted. ​Whatever can be brought into awareness can hopefully be integrated, allowing the impact of past experiences to be released, clearing the way to move freer in life. Core Process Psychotherapy can also offer gentle and effective ways of addressing the impact of shock and trauma. I am in the clinical year of a post-graduate Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy diploma with the Karuna Institute, where I have been training since 2021. I am also trained to level 3 in the IFS (Internal Family System) model of therapy and have been assisting in professional IFS training as a Program Assistant since 2020. I offer both short and long-term work. As a therapist in training, I hold a membership with the UKCP (UK Council of Psychotherapy) and ACPP (Association of Core Process Psychotherapists). My work is supervised and I am working towards graduation and full accreditation. I hold professional liability insurance.
