Katy Swoboda

I am accepting new clients at the moment. I work in Brighton on Tuesdays.

Whatever your difficulty is I welcome you in my counselling room, where I offer confidential, non-judgemental, empathic and safe space for you to talk about your concerns.

My therapy room is a space for you to be you, however that manifests itself. It can also be a creative space in which you may want to experiment with new behaviours.

I am a Gestalt therapist. Gestalt means ‘whole’. In my practice this translates as my supporting you in raising your awareness of different aspects of your experience, such as your thoughts, feelings, imagery, body sensations, and sometimes movement.

I believe that through talking about your experience, we can jointly honour those aspects of it which are difficult and may need some holding , kindness, and compassion.

I will support you to become aware of how your 'felt' sense may enhance your understanding of how you are in relationship with yourself and others. This understanding can help you support yourself better during difficult times, draw on the strengths and abilities you already have, and tap into your aliveness and freedom within.

My Qualifications:

MSc in Gestalt Psychotherapy: nearing completion (Metanoia Institute)

Postgraduate Clinical Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Gestalt Counselling (Metanoia Institute)

MSc in Language Evolution and Cognition (University of Edinburgh)

BA with Hons. in Linguistics, First Class (Newcastle University)

Every client comes with different needs, hopes and expectations. You can expect that I will tailor my approach to what you need help with and your personality and learning style.

I have experience of working with many mental health issues which I gained while working in charitable and private organisations as well as NHS in London. My special interests are in anxiety, depression, relationships, disordered eating, and relational/developmental trauma.

During the  first session  you will have an opportunity to tell my why you are seeking counselling/therapy and we can chat about how I could support you.  The purpose of this initial consultation is for us to decide if we want to work with each other.

My first session is a  50-minutes therapy session and full fee applies.

I currently accept new clients. My availability in Lewes is Thursday-Fridays.
