I absolutely adore Stasia. She understands me on a level that is so much different, in the best way possible, that my other therapists couldn't. She is a fantastic listener, and her activities she offers are very helpful.

I have experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse. This can include rape, sexual assault, domestic abuse, grooming, neglect and abuse endured from parents or family members in childhood. I also have experience in helping clients coping with grief and loss, eating disorders, loneliness, parenthood, processing a diagnosis i.e. ADHD, schizophrenia, anxiety, autism, anxiety, depression and PTSD.
I work with university students at a different company and provide 1-2-1 counselling and coaching sessions to help students navigate university, process a diagnosis they may have received during their time at university and help students process and explore parts of their life that continue to impact them.
I am an ongoing volunteer at women's aid as a counsellor and phone buddy. I provide 1-2-1 sessions covering domestic abuse, childhood abuse, sexual assault, processing the impact of family and criminal court, complexity of motherhood, abortion and miscarriages.
In 2023 I delivered a workshop that I created called the complexity of skin colour at the University of Salford. Since then, I have worked with people facing racism in the workplace, addressing the everyday microaggressions, parents navigating racism. I also provide resources to educate and empower clients and their children.
During 2017-2019 I used a mixture of coaching and NLP skills alongside my personal training to help women build a better relationship with their body and food. I created a 12-week interactive booklet to help clients reflect on their relationship with food and create a new relationship with food. This booklet can be incorporated into your journey if the reason for starting therapy is due to body image challenges, diagnosed and undiagnosed eating disorders. It is not a replacement for seeking medical advice.
The best way to know if I am right for you is to experience a session and decide if you would like to work together going forward.
I just want you to know if you do decide to work through your trauma with me, I always say trauma is like a jigsaw puzzle. You don’t quite know how many pieces there are until you start unpacking your trauma and that is okay. I would like you to see me as a pillar, somebody you can lean on whilst you navigate your traumas, worries and fears. We all need someone to lean on sometimes.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great listener and very empathetic.
Stasia is very patient, understanding and really tries to understand where you are coming from and what you are trying to say. I feel very heard and also she gives relevant homework if that's something you're looking for.
Stasia is supportive and so knowledgeable. I’ve only had two sessions so far but am seeing the impact already and fully trust that there will be further impact through these sessions going forward. She is quick to reply to messages and sets really useful worksheets to support.
Stasia has been extremely helpful and responsive. She has been able to not only explore my past issues but guide me through recent realisations and experiences.
I had only two sessions with Stasia, but they were incredibly helpful. She listens patiently and provides insightful solutions. With her guidance, I was able to take some important decisions in my life. Highly recommend her!
Stasia is such a kind, reassuring therapist who I feel I can trust deeply. She is exactly what I was looking for in a therapist and so helpful, I’m very grateful for her guidance
I have many barriers that make all my problems hard to understand, but she's really good at listening to my thoughts! If you want someone easy to talk to, kind, and non-judgmental, go to her directly
