Malgorzata Miernik, BACP

Malgorzata Miernik offers a person-centred counselling approach that prioritises empathy and collaboration. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Sessions focus on exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviours so clients can better understand themselves and make practical changes.

She uses gentle challenges and practical exercises when helpful. Creative activities may be suggested to support reflection and personal growth. Malgorzata aims to help people tap into their own resources and build clarity about next steps.

Malgorzata has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Her background includes supporting people affected by trauma and abuse and assisting those struggling with motivation, self-esteem and depression.

Her past work has involved group facilitation and teaching counselling skills, and she has supported refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in charity settings. She has also worked with survivors of sexual abuse, including people involved in legal processes.

Sessions are offered in English and Polish. Malgorzata works online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. She aims to help people feel heard and to find practical ways forward that fit their lives.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening with warmth and respect. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, helping them make sense of feelings and decide on next steps. This approach helps with low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Creative therapy techniques can be used alongside talking. Simple exercises or art-based tasks offer different ways to reflect on emotions and patterns. These methods can help when verbalising feelings feels hard or when clients want a new way to explore experiences.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to what feels most helpful for each person, based on their goals and preferences. Together they work out a plan and review progress as therapy continues.

Online formats give practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and expression matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write between sessions or choose written reflection instead of speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, study and family routines, and to keep continuity when schedules change.
