Renata Ostrejko

I work online on FaceTime or WhatsApp video.

I am available Monday to Wednesday and Saturday afternoon.

Hi, I’m Renata, an integrative counsellor offering a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe every person has a unique story and deserves to feel heard, valued and understood. My approach is tailored to your individual needs, working together at your pace to help you gain understanding, build confidence and navigate life’s challenges. 

My integrative approach recognises that everyone is unique, with their own experiences, relationships and ways of understanding the world. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including person-centred, attachment-based, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural (CBT), emotion-focused and narrative approaches, tailoring our work to your individual needs.

I believe that exploring our emotions can help us better understand ourselves, recognise patterns in our lives and make sense of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Therapy offers an opportunity to develop greater self-awareness and explore new ways of navigating life’s challenges.

Your autonomy is important to me. I see therapy as a collaborative process, working together at a pace that feels right for you. Where appropriate, I may offer reflections, insights or practical strategies to support your exploration.

I aim to provide a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, respected and understood. As someone who speaks both English and Polish, I appreciate how language, culture and identity can shape our experiences and sense of belonging.

Your wellbeing and safety are central to my practice, and I work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework and Professional Standards.

Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £50. I also offer a free 20-minute introductory telephone or video call, giving us an opportunity to meet and explore whether working together feels right for you. Please get in touch to discuss availability.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, explore what has brought you to counselling and discuss what you hope to gain from therapy. We will talk about confidentiality, how counselling works and any questions you may have. There is no pressure to share everything straight away; we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Before our first session, I will send you two forms to complete to help us prepare for our work together.
