Ms Dorota Kedra, MA

Psychologist

Verified

“I am a psychologist offering psychological support to children, adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, emotional difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, difficulties with emotional regulation and challenges related to relationships, life changes and personal development. My aim is to help clients better understand themselves, develop practical coping strategies and build greater emotional resilience. I see therapy not simply as a way of reducing difficulties, but also as an opportunity to develop self-awareness, confidence and the ability to make positive and meaningful changes in life.”

About Me

I believe that feeling understood and supported can be an important first step towards positive change. In my work, I aim to create a safe, warm and non-judgemental space where clients can explore their difficulties, better understand themselves and find ways forward that are meaningful to them. I am a psychologist with a Master’s degree in Psychology from Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland, postgraduate training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from Goldsmiths, University of London, and professional coaching training at Erickson College International, Vancouver / Jagiellonian University. My professional experience spans the fields of education and mental health. For several years, I worked at a Psychological and Pedagogical Counselling Centre, where I was involved in the psychological assessment of children and adolescents, providing therapy and psychological support, career counselling, and delivering psychoeducational and personal development workshops. While living in London, I worked within the NHS, including a psychiatric hospital, a community mental health service and the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme, supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression and difficulties in everyday functioning.

Approach

My approach is warm, respectful and individualised. I combine psychological knowledge and therapeutic experience with an understanding of each person's unique needs, strengths and circumstances. I aim to help clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and practical ways of coping with life's challenges.
