I’m Magda, a qualified trauma-informed therapist working at the intersection of nervous system regulation, affective and cognitive neuroscience, and embodied perception.
I have been working clinically with clients since 2018, with a focus on complex trauma, addiction, domestic violence, and long-term nervous system dysregulation.

Domestic violence and sexual abuse services, including child sexual abuse.2022–present
Private practice specialising in high-functioning adults with complex trauma (childhood trauma, CSA, DV, chronic stress and nervous system overload).
What I offer is a clear, steady framework for building internal capacity, so perception sharpens, emotional load reduces, and action becomes grounded rather than reactive.
I work biologically: with the body as a nervous system and
with emotion as information.
This work is quiet.
Often subtle.
And effective over time.
We slow perception before we change behaviour.
We reduce noise before we seek meaning.
We build capacity instead of chasing catharsis.
I’ve lived across cultures and languages: Poland by birth, the world by choice.
That experience matters only insofar as it trained my nervous system to adapt precisely, stay grounded under pressure, and remain oriented in complexity.
My work reflects that. It’s disciplined, adult nervous system work for people who want clarity, agency, and internal coherence without collapsing into comfort or intensity.
I work with people who have already survived enough.
People who are ready to stop outsourcing authority over their inner life.
People who want their actions to come from presence rather than pattern.
If you’re here, you’re likely already capable.
We work on removing what interferes.
