Malgorzata Miernik, BACP

Malgorzata Miernik offers a compassionate, collaborative approach that focuses on understanding each person as an individual rather than trying to fix them. She works with clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, using empathy and gentle challenge to help people gain insight and build clearer foundations for change. Her practice emphasises tapping into inner resources and intuition, and she sometimes suggests creative exercises to support progress alongside conversation.

Malgorzata has six years of professional experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. She has worked with survivors of sexual abuse, including those involved in court processes, and has experience supporting refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants through charity work and group facilitation. Her background also includes teaching on introductory counselling courses.

She trained with a PG Diploma in Counselling Skills (Person-Centred), a postgraduate qualification in counselling that emphasises a respectful, client-led approach. That diploma is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and Malgorzata holds BACP as a professional credential. In addition to person-centred practice, she has undertaken further training in life coaching, Recall Healing, online and telephone counselling, art therapy, and Jungian sand-play therapy, which she may draw on when appropriate.

Malgorzata is based in the United Kingdom and provides therapy in English and Polish. She aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where people can begin their journey of self-discovery and growth, and she welcomes the opportunity to work with both local and international clients.

Person-Centred and Creative Approaches for Online Therapy

Malgorzata commonly draws on person-centred practice, which focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions by exploring feelings and values. This approach supports work on anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, and navigating life changes. She also uses creative, experiential methods such as art-based work and Jungian sand-play techniques, offering non-verbal ways to access emotions and process trauma or complex personal material.

Choosing the right technique is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Malgorzata works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so therapy fits individual needs and rhythms.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across time zones and life transitions, while allowing registered professionals and therapists to tailor pacing and tools to each client's circumstances.
