Katarzyna Gajowy

My name is Katarzyna Gajowy, and I would like to welcome you to a space where emotional healing, resilience, and self-discovery come together to empower your journey. I am a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with over five years of experience in mentoring and life coaching. My practice focuses on supporting families, couples, women, men, and youth as they navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting dilemmas, career obstacles, OCD, ADHD, physical trauma, or emotional abuse.

My approach is defined by warmth, interactivity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey. I believe in treating every client with sensitivity and compassion, free from judgment or stigmatizing labels. I practise Person-Centred Counselling, which empowers clients to take charge of their own journey towards self-realisation. This non-directive method creates a safe, non-judgmental space where active listening and reflection allow clients to freely explore their emotions and thoughts.
 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is another key element of my practice. Based on the understanding that our thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and actions are interconnected, CBT helps break negative cycles by breaking down overwhelming problems into manageable parts. Together, we will focus on current challenges, developing practical strategies for positive change, rather than dwelling on the past.

Inspired by ancient Greek philosophy, meditation, and the wisdom of Socrates, I integrate a holistic perspective into my work, encouraging clients to explore the profound question: "Who am I?" Guided by Socrates' teaching, "I cannot teach anybody anything; I can only make them think," I see my role not as someone who provides answers but as a guide helping clients uncover their own truths.
 

My own journey has been deeply shaped by my experiences as a migrant, mother, wife, and business owner. Like many, I faced feelings of inadequacy while navigating biases and unfamiliar environments. Through my studies in psychotherapy, I embraced Socrates' wisdom: "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." This insight has helped me realise that we all carry inherent worth and potential, and my mission is to help you uncover the strength within yourself.

Over the years, I have supported over 2,500 clients through private practice, volunteering, and student mentoring across England. My work is centred on cultivating emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and personal transformation. As Socrates reminds us, "Wisdom begins in wonder," and I believe that by fostering emotional intelligence, clients can create space for love, stability, and the inner peace often obscured by life’s demands.

I offer a unique, carefully crafted programme tailored to address life’s most challenging issues. This transformative process fosters resilience, growth, and clarity, empowering you to embrace your natural strength and achieve meaningful change.

If you are ready to take the first step, I am here to guide and support you in reaching new dimensions of understanding, harmony, and abundance. Together, we will walk this path, cultivating resilience, wisdom, and the wonder of self-discovery.
