Sylwia Korsak

Accessing therapy and coaching can feel daunting, especially when life’s challenges become overwhelming or difficult to name. Many people find it hard to reach out, unsure of where to begin or what to expect. You may be feeling isolated, misunderstood, or simply in need of a space where you can pause and reflect on your experiences without fear of judgment. The process of seeking support is a courageous step, and it’s natural to feel apprehensive or uncertain at first.

As a liberation practitioner, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to explore and make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to be met with warmth and understanding, whatever their background or situation. Together, we can work at your pace, gently uncovering insights and strengths that can help you move towards greater clarity and fulfilment in your life. Whether you are facing a specific issue, a more general sense of unease, or seeking to improve your general wellbeing, I am here to support you in finding your own way forward.

Welcome. My name is Syl Korsak (she/her), and I am an experienced liberation practitioner, integrated counsellor, and coach based in Bristol, offering support online, in person, in nature and VR.

Why Work With Me?

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Get in touch to book your free 30-minute online consultation today. 

The initial 30-minute online consultation is a complimentary, no-obligation opportunity for us to connect and explore how we might work together. This session is designed to be a welcoming, pressure-free space where your needs and preferences are at the centre.

During our consultation, we can discuss:

- Your Challenges and Goals: We’ll talk about what brings you to counselling or coaching, your current challenges, and what you hope to achieve, so I can understand how best to support you.

- Getting to Know Each Other: You’ll have the chance to ask any questions about my approach, experience, or anything else on your mind. This is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of whether I am the right fit for you.

- Practical Details: We’ll review the practical aspects of working together, including session frequency and length, fees, cancellation policies, holidays, and any technical requirements for online sessions.

- Next Steps: If we decide to move forward, we can discuss a potential start date for your counselling or coaching sessions.

- Alternative Support: If, for any reason, we feel that another service or approach may better suit your needs, I am happy to offer guidance on alternative sources of support.

It’s completely normal to feel some nerves before your first session. I encourage you to bring any concerns or questions you may have—my aim is to create a supportive and understanding environment from the very beginning. If you decide that I am not the right fit, I will do my utmost to help you find the support that’s right for you elsewhere.

If you’d like to book your free consultation or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to connecting with you.

Hello. Welcome, and thank you for considering my support. 

My name is Syl (Sylwia), and I am an experienced liberation practitioner offering integrated counselling and coaching for various life challenges.

Our life experiences, our social positioning and our current experience of the world can sometimes feel challenging.  That's where counselling and coaching can help. Starting counselling or coaching can initially feel new, so my role is to create a calm space for you to feel comfortable, respected, and empowered to be your authentic self. Liberation work means I bring many psychological approaches (traditional and more progressive, too), all centred around your wellbeing, safety, choices and empowerment. Your comfort, psychological safety, and preferences are my priorities.

I am a qualified integrated counsellor and coach experienced in supporting people with the following challenges: self-esteem, low mood, anxiety, depression, bereavement, eco-anxiety, workplace and activist burnout, digital wellbeing challenges, technophobia, online abuse, sexual abuse, addictions, stigma, social exclusion and social isolation, identity-based violence and other forms of oppression or discrimination. I support people healing from complex grief, trauma, PTSD, addictive behaviours, and individual relationship challenges such as neglect and abuse (please note: I am not a couples therapist).  I am an anti-oppressive practitioner trained with TADF.UK. Whether this is your first experience with this type of support or the next step on your healing journey, I will respect your preferences. As an inclusive practitioner, I respect all aspects of your identity.

Thank you for reading and taking this first step to seek support for your mental health and wellbeing.

As a liberation practitioner, I am trained in many approaches to offer a way of working that empowers you and suits your needs. I can help you find the right therapeutic approach.

In our sessions, we can explore and make meaning from your experience of the world through a safe, trusted, non-judgmental conversation. We can create a calm, trusted space for your healing. We can identify the roots of your challenges and find ways to move forward. We can reflect on oppression and misuse of power in our lives and identify safe and sustainable ways to resist it. Together, we can identify opportunities for healing - some can be practical, and others may require deeper psychological exploration. Finally, we can also explore liberation towards a healthier, happier life. Additionally, I am passionate about good digital wellbeing and trauma recovery. I am a certified Virtual Reality counsellor and the founder of a digital wellbeing startup, Voxel Hub. I am a certified Geek Therapist. 

I combine my experience in teaching, business, charity work, digital activism, and youth projects to offer an affirming view of good mental health in the digital age. I support people struggling with negative tech bias, technophobia, digital fatigue, online abuse, geek discrimination, and addictive online behaviours. I work with leaders, professionals, parents and mental health practitioners wishing to embrace digital age opportunities safely.

I worked for leading local and national counselling charities in one-to-one and group settings online, via telephone, in person and in Nature. I deliver CPD courses for Iron Mill College of Counselling in Exeter. I'm a member and follow the ethical guidelines of the BACP (counselling), Institute of Leadership and Management and EMMC Global (coaching). Like all ethical practitioners, I am in ongoing personal (liberation) therapy and have an experienced (somatic) supervisor.
