Kasia Wicha
People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are facing old wounds and trauma, anxiety, loneliness, loss or major life transitions. Some people feel like life is crashing in on them, and they struggle to breathe. Therapy can feel like the first deep breath in a long time.
I am a grounded, calm and down-to-earth therapist. My approach is humanistic and relational. By building a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship, we can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a way that supports deeper understanding and meaningful change. I work in an open, non-defensive and collaborative way, inviting regular check-ins and feedback to ensure therapy feels right for you.
The work might involve:
- Exploring how your past experiences influence your life
- Noticing how your mind and body interact
- Using creative or experiential exercises to look at a problem from a new angle
- Gently challenging patterns or perspectives when it feels safe and appropriate to do so
- Offering insights, reflections, or practical things to try out between the sessions
Training, qualifications & experience
I initially trained in Therapeutic Skills and Studies at The Metanoia Institute (London, UK), before completing a BSc (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling at Middlesex University London and a Clinical Diploma at The Metanoia Institute.
I have also completed additional specialised training, including:
- Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Coaching, Operation Centaur, London.
- Certificate in Working with Refugee People and Their Families, The Tavistock and Portman, London
I have a background in psychology and use this knowledge to provide support in a safe, research-informed way.
I follow the BACP Ethical Framework, which means I am committed to working with professionalism, integrity and care.
I am fully insured, receive regular professional supervision, and undertake ongoing CPD courses to continue developing my skills. I have gained valuable experience working with the NHS and a range of charities.
Alongside my private practice, I work with a mental health charity, helping make psychotherapy more accessible.
