Therapy in Polish
Terapia po polsku
Some things are easier to say in the language you grew up with. For clients whose first language is Polish, therapy in English can add an invisible layer of effort to an already difficult process – searching for the right word, translating not just language but feeling, wondering whether what comes out in English carries the same weight as what you actually mean.
I offer sessions in Polish as well as English. As a Polish-speaking therapist working in Manchester and online across the UK, I can offer the kind of fluency – linguistic and cultural – that makes it easier to say what you actually need to say.

Cultural understanding
What I understand
I understand the experience of immigration from the inside – the particular pressures of navigating life between two cultures, the complexity of family relationships that cross borders, the loss of community and familiar reference points, the strange process of building an identity in a place that wasn’t where you started.
I understand the Polish cultural context: the family expectations, the attitudes to mental health, the things you might find it easier to discuss in Polish than in English – or easier to discuss at all, now that you’re somewhere where nobody knows you.
Counselling in Polish (terapia po polsku) is available for all the same issues I work with in English. The approach is the same: integrative, at your pace, without judgement.

Sessions are available online, which means they are accessible from anywhere in the UK — not just Manchester. I work Tuesday to Friday, with early morning slots available on Tuesdays and Thursdays (from 7am) which may suit people working full-time. Fees are the same as for English-language sessions: £55 per 50-minute online session. A free 20-minute consultation is available before booking. If you would prefer to get in touch in Polish, please do — you can reach me at hello@ggcounselling.uk or on 0734 093 2656.
