Ms Magda Raczynska

Child Psychotherapist

“A committed, creative and resourceful child and adolescent psychotherapist who provides an engaged and confidential therapeutic service for young people of various ages and backgrounds as well as for parents, teachers, and adult clients.”

About Me

I provide an engaged, confidential therapeutic space for young people to explore their feelings and experiences. My creative and resourceful approach helps children and adolescents from diverse backgrounds find their unique voice. I also offer dedicated support for parents, teachers, and adult clients. This holistic service helps all involved feel heard and discover a way forward.

Approach

Committed to creativity and resourcefulness, I guide sessions with curiosity and gentle structure so young people and parents can explore feelings at their own pace. In my London practice and online, in English or Polish, sessions mix play, drawing or talking for children and reflective, pace‑aware conversation with adolescents and adults; between sessions I may suggest short practices or observations to build insight. Assessment is collaborative and careful, helping families shape next steps. This way of working suits those seeking steady, practical emotional change.
