Magdalena Jagielska, BACP

Magdalena Jagielska is a counsellor with 15 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and problems with self-esteem. Magdalena also supports those affected by trauma, grief, addictions and difficulties with sleep or eating.

She takes a respectful and compassionate stance in sessions. Conversations are shaped to each person’s needs so therapy feels relevant and practical. Magdalena aims to help clients find clearer ways to manage strong emotions and day-to-day pressures.

Her approach draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas as well as psychodynamic and trauma-focused methods. That means she pays attention to how relationships and past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. Sessions combine listening, reflection and practical strategies to help clients move forward.

Magdalena has worked with a wide range of concerns over her career, including ADHD, relationship difficulties, LGBT issues, and multicultural or identity-related challenges. She also has experience with obsessive and paranoid thoughts and supporting people with an intellectual disability.

Sessions are available in English and Polish, and she accepts international clients. Magdalena aims to empower people to take the steps they want towards a more manageable and fulfilling life.

How her approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape feelings and coping. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and try different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a warm, non-judgemental conversation where the client leads the pace. That approach helps when someone needs space to speak, feel heard and find their own solutions.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. Magdalena will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she will adapt her style as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance means the plan can change if different methods suit the client better.

Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels too much. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
