Pronouns: She/Her
Kasia is an empathetic and highly experienced psychotherapist. She brings over 20 years of experience in mental health and education and is dedicated to supporting clients living with trauma, emotional overwhelm, or neurodiverse experiences.
Kasia offers a grounded, compassionate approach, drawing on her work with neurodiverse students—including at the London School of Economics—and her extensive clinical training. She holds two Master’s degrees in psychotherapy from the University of London and is trained in a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR for trauma, DBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy.
As part of her work with My Therapist Online, Kasia offers therapy that is flexible and tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. She also has specialist training in relationship and family dynamics, helping clients to build stronger, more connected relationships.
Originally from Krakow, Kasia has lived in London for over 20 years. She offers an inclusive and culturally sensitive space for reflection, healing, and growth.
Kasia says:
As part of my work with My Therapist Online, I offer initial, no-obligation consultations online, where we can explore your current situation and what kind of support might be most helpful. If we choose to work together, I usually recommend starting with a block of eight sessions, followed by a review. This helps us build momentum and assess progress, and can be extended as needed.
Between sessions, I provide carefully selected resources to help deepen the work we do together. These tools are there for you to use at your own pace—offering support beyond the therapy room, without pressure or expectation.
My aim is to provide therapy that is effective, compassionate, and truly centred around you—meeting you where you are and supporting you as you move toward where you want to be.

Feedback from Kasia clients:
Kasia has changed my life for the better
“I have tried a handful of counsellors over the years. The previous experiences ranged from ‘extremely poor’ to ‘not terrible’. I was *not* keen to attempt counselling again but thankfully the universe matched me with Kasia. Kasia’s style and demeanour are truly compassionate and non-judgmental. Because of Kasia, I am a healthier, happier, and higher-functioning person today than I was when I first walked into her clinic. Kasia has changed my life for the better and I will be eternally grateful for her care and compassion.” -A.C.
You helped me find confidence and resilience that is now here to stay!
”Although we haven’t had a call for a long time, I almost always have your wisdoms going through my mind, often when I’m in a tricky situation I think to myself ‘what would Kasia do’. I honestly cannot thank you enough for how you’ve helped me turn around my life and my mindset, I finally feel like I can say I’ve had a year of stability and feeling good in myself, and I just couldn’t have done that without all your guidance.
Whenever a friend talks of therapy and are unsure because of past experiences, I always say how I felt the same but then I had the most wonderful therapist who changed my life and I encourage them to keep at it.
You are so inspirational and you have so much power in your words and I really appreciate all your kindness, care and wisdom, and your positive outlook on life.
I have stuck at my job (a commitment I could never do before)! and have been promoted to a workshop facilitator, leading my own class […]. And I have just lead a day workshop with training staff [at…] and I have another three of these workshops coming up.
You have helped me find my confidence and resilience that is now here to stay! And you have helped me stay present and focus on the little joys in life. THANK YOU❤️❤️” Lou
A truly positive and lasting experience
I was originally wary of counselling, but I have to say, I had an overwhelmingly positive experience – I am now a firm advocate for it to all of my friends and family. I want to warmly say thank you for helping me. The impact your counselling sessions with me had has stayed with me and it looks like it will continue beyond. It has challenged me to grow out of my comfort zone and help me to make choices in life, both personal and career aspects.‘ Paul
