Kate Gadowska
Professional Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychotherapist
Hello and a very warm welcome. If you found my website, that means you are probably experiencing some life difficulties and you might need a bit of a helping hand to resolve them. Taking that first step into counselling can be daunting and also a little scary. I am here to make the journey that tiny bit easier for you and hopefully, together, we can find a way out and make your life fulfilling again. I wish you the best of luck on the path to self-discovery and you are going to find out that it is all worth it!
I welcome any questions that you might have and I look forward to hearing from you.
Counselling Service
I offer free 30 minutes consultation to make sure that we are a good fit and to see if we both think I am the right therapist for you.
​
Once we agree to work together, we are going to see each other face-to-face for 50 minutes on a weekly basis. I offer short-term or open-ended sessions in my practice in Epsom.
​
I am fluent both in English and Polish.
About Me
My name is Kate and I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist. I am a warm, dedicated, empathetic person, passionate about mental health and helping people reach their goals and find their true selves. It is always my biggest priority to create a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to be able to fully open up and share their innermost concerns.
​
I am a registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which means that I am always committed to working ethically and to the highest professional standards.
​
As well as my private clients, I also support people in Care to Listen, a charity and a low-cost counselling organisation in Croydon.
My main modality is psychodynamic, which means that we are going to delve deep into your childhood experiences and upbringing, memories and past relationships and see how they influence the way you behave and think in the present. We will try to unpack your unconscious patterns of behaviour and discover your coping mechanisms, so that you become more aware of them and start to make better, conscious choices and decisions, which will significantly improve the quality of your life.
My Approach
Areas of expertise
I help adults with a range of life difficulties, including anxiety, depression, relationship and attachment issues, eating disorders, OCD, (C)PTSD, however my real interest is childhood traumas, physical, mental and sexual abuse.
​
I also support highly echoistic and empathic clients, who find themselves in repetitive, abusive and narcissistic relationships, finding it extremely difficult to leave and not fully understanding the reason behind it.
​
I regularly attend continuing professional workshops, trainings and courses.
