Gosia Garstka

I offer sessions in person in West Hampstead or Queen’s Park (NW6) and online.

My fee is £90 per 50-minute session.

I have a limited number of lower-cost spaces available. If cost if a barrier, please ask.

I’m an integrative therapist and counsellor. I have worked in charity and private practice settings, supporting people with a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, life transitions, substance use and suicidal thoughts.

I offer an LGBTQIA+-affirming and culturally sensitive space where you can explore your experiences openly, including aspects of your identity, relationships and life that may be difficult to talk about elsewhere.

I grew up in Poland and moved to the UK as an adult. Living between two cultural contexts has shaped my understanding of what it can be like to move between cultures, languages and communities, and to carry more than one sense of home within you.

Before training as a therapist, I worked as a classical pianist.

Therapy can be a way to explore the experiences, patterns and relationships that have shaped you, while opening up new ways of relating to yourself, others and the world around you.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches to understand your experience. Rather than following one particular model, I adapt our work to what feels most relevant to you.

Together, we might explore your past and its influence on the present, reflect on your current relationships and ways of being, or pay attention to your thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations. We might also explore questions of identity, belonging and a sense of home, or experiences that expand your understanding of who you are. At times, there may be space for questions about meaning, purpose, mortality and how you want to live.

I’m also mindful of how power, privilege and marginalisation can shape our experiences, and I bring this awareness into the therapy room.

Sessions are 50 minutes long and usually take place weekly. The length of therapy can vary from a set number of sessions to longer-term work.

The first session is a chance to talk about what brings you to therapy and what you might hope to get from it. I’ll ask questions to help us explore what is going on for you, and there will also be space for you to ask questions about how I work.

At its heart, therapy is a conversation, and the first session gives us a chance to see what working together might be like. It allows us both to consider whether my way of working could be helpful to you.

If you’d like to arrange an initial session, or have any questions, you’re welcome to get in touch. I’ll reply with information about availability and the next steps.
