Magdalena Georgoulis-Szulc, BACP

Magdalena Georgoulis-Szulc helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or struggles with addiction. She is straightforward and warm, and aims to make the first conversations easy to manage for someone who is worried or unsure. Magdalena speaks English and Polish and works from the United Kingdom.

She believes therapy is a partnership. Sessions focus on naming what is hard right now and finding small, realistic steps forward. Conversations cover practical coping skills as well as understanding how past experiences shape present feelings. Magdalena draws on her own experience of depression, loss and trauma to stay grounded in what clients actually need in the room.

Her background includes three years of professional experience and four years of related academic study. She holds BACP, which is presented here as the credential provided. Magdalena has worked with people facing grief, self-harm and addictions, and also supports those dealing with emptiness or isolation.

People bring different issues such as cancer-related distress, drug and alcohol problems, low self-esteem or suicidal thoughts, and Magdalena aims to meet each person where they are. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on practical changes that fit everyday life. The work is collaborative and tailored to the individual.

To begin, she encourages a short conversation to discuss needs and practicalities. That first step helps clarify goals and what a helpful plan of work might look like.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Many clients benefit from interventions that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. Behavioural techniques help people identify routines that keep problems going and test small changes to daily habits to reduce anxiety or low mood. Another useful approach is grief-focused work, which helps people name losses, process strong emotions and find ways to remember while moving forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Magdalena will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps the work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and live chat can be easier to fit around work or childcare and support more frequent, brief contact between longer conversations. These options aim to make therapy accessible and workable for different routines and needs.
