Anna Nagorska
Integrative therapeutic counsellor.
My name is Anna and I am an integrative counsellor. I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical and Forensic Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I am currently gathering data for my PhD thesis, which is supervised at the University of Rzeszow, Poland.
I have experience working with adults and young people and have worked with a wide range of issues including anger, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-esteem, childhood issues, trauma, bereavement and loss.
I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor, which means that in my work with clients I combine three therapeutic approaches: Person Centred Theory, Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I use different techniques and methods, depending on the person and the issue I am working with.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a Counsellor within the CAMHS Acute Unit in Cheadle Royal Hospital. I am also a university lecturer and I teach Health Psychology at the University of Rzeszow.
I am a graduate member of the British Psychological Society and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I attend regular Continuous Professional Development (CPD) workshops to keep my knowledge and skills up to date and I meet regularly with my supervisor to support and review my work. I hold a subscription to the government DBS service which is current and up to date.
