Teresa Kowalska – Counsellor (accred), Supervisor and Parenting Practitioner
Do you feel unable to function as well as you would like, or that you are not able to cope with what life is throwing at you? I can offer you a safe confidential space where we can work through your issues together to help you function and cope better.
I am a BACP accredited counsellor and work in a person-centred integrative way, drawing on other humanistic therapies and CBT. I have a private practice in Nantwich where I see young people, adults and couples on both a short and long term basis. I also do time-limited work with individual organisations and EAP companies. In addition, I am also a supervisor and work with trainee and fully trained counsellors. I also provide external supervision to individuals in organisations in the private sector.
Person-centred therapy is a humanistic therapy based on the belief that we all have an innate tendency to develop towards our full potential, but this can become blocked or distorted by past and present life experiences, such as trauma or abuse, difficult relationships, bullying, loss or bereavement, or illness. We can find ourselves replaying the same behaviours and patterns of relating to others – our family members, partners, children, friends and work colleagues – without understanding why… We can become stressed, anxious, panicky, angry, depressed, fearful, lacking in confidence and low in self-esteem. We can become addicted to food, alcohol, gambling, sex, or anything else that numbs the feelings caused by distress.
We are all unique with individual needs, so I would work with you to establish a relationship of openness and honesty – to accept you just as you are, with respect and compassion, without judgement or criticism. I would help you to understand your experience from your point of view and to help you to reconnect with your inner resources. This process would enable you to make the changes you need – to find your own way to move forward, to a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
I have nine years’ experience of working within the NHS and Mind. I worked successfully with children and young people who were experiencing mental health issues that were causing them distress and affecting their everyday functioning, such as anxiety around exams and school attendance, generalised anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, depression, low self-esteem, bullying, peer and friendship problems, and behaviour problems. I also worked with parents who wanted to help their children overcome their difficulties, and with parents who were finding it hard to manage their children’s behaviour. In addition, I worked on attachment issues with parents, helping them to overcome the obstacles that were getting in the way of them bonding with their children, and with parents who wanted to improve their relationships with their children.
