What is mindfulness and why we need it?

nna Jezuita:
English & Polish Speaking Therapist in London
Counselling (MBACP accred) and Therapy in Polish
I originally qualified as a Barrister in my native Poland, then changed career directions when I moved to the UK 18 years ago. I gained my postgraduate diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (Integrative) at the University of East London in 2003, complemented by a Diploma in Clinical Supervision in 2016.

I offer counselling and therapy in Polish and English, in my quiet, comfortable therapy rooms in Holborn, Central London, WC1 or Streatham South London SW16.

In my counselling career I have worked in a wide range of environments including family support services and drug rehabilitation programs in London prisons and in the community, whilst continuing to deliver lectures at Warsaw University – Psychology Department over the years.

Me as a therapist – who will you meet?

In my therapeutic work I relate to clients from a position of an ‘equal with expertise’ rather than an elevated expert. With my personal experience of living with addictions, divorce, changing countries and professions – not belonging, I strive to approach people from a position of somebody who is also still grappling with life, hence I feel I have compassion with my client’s struggles, rather than looking on as an expert with a ready made solution.

My barrister training allows me to see and relate to problems without attachment to one view. Mindfulness based approach combines logic with warm compassion, helping to re-frame clients’ view on a certain situation or thought, and create an instant shift and relief of client’s anxiety.

I am also a Mindfulness Teacher with a keen interest in running Mindfulness Workshops for anybody looking to find a more calm and measured relationship with life and its challenges.
