Anna Orzech
As a UKCP-registered Gestalt psychotherapist and specialist in couples & relationship therapy, I believe a decision to start therapy is a powerful one, creating time and space for deep attention and awareness in relationship with a trusted professional. It is a commitment to start living differently with your own experiences and to build sustainable change. So often in daily life we lack the opportunity to go deeper and dare to know what we know, feel what we feel, and want what we want. The support and challenge I offer in therapy creates precisely this opportunity.
My approach incorporates intellectual engagement and deep curiosity to support understanding and clarity, alongside attunement to emotional, embodied, and contextual dynamics. I spent my early life steeped in practices of listening, expression, and attunement, through intensive training and performing as a professional classical musician, combined with a creative drive compelling me to continually seek challenge and follow my curiosity. That early training and attitude continues to shape my presence as a therapist today. I offer a space where you can feel deeply heard, not just in what you say but in what you might not yet have words for, so that you can begin to hear yourself more deeply.
My formal training includes a rigorous five year program in Gestalt individual and group psychotherapy, a postgrad degree in psychology, and specialist training in couple & relationship therapy. Additionally, my work is informed by a continuing interest in existential, psychodynamic, and somatic approaches to therapy.
I am registered with both the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), ensuring the highest level of training (including personal therapy), ethical standards, ongoing professional development, and supervision.
I warmly welcome interested adults of all cultural and class backgrounds, and sexuality, gender, relationship, and kinship orientations, to get in touch and arrange an initial phone call to explore individual or couple/relationship therapy. Sessions are available face to face in South East London, and internationally online.
