About Karolina
Karolina Orenczak is a BACP registered counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people affected by trauma, attachment wounds and relationship difficulties. Her practice also covers stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD and issues around guilt and shame.
She frames therapy around attachment and early childhood experiences. Karolina uses client-centred listening together with psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape present feelings. She also brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing into sessions to support practical coping and clearer decisions.
Sessions may include stabilisation work for trauma, and steps to reconnect with parts of the self that feel abandoned or ashamed. Karolina describes work that addresses eating and substance-related problems, codependency and difficulties with intimacy and control. She also supports people navigating fertility, postpartum and non-monogamous relationship questions.
Her training background includes an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling specialising in Transactional Analysis, a BSc in Psychology and Brainspotting Phase 1 and 2. She has additional certificates in grief counselling, Rewind Therapy and Narrative Exposure Therapy introduction.
Karolina wrote an Inner Child Workbook and Journal that offers tools alongside therapy. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the online options button.
How her attachment and mindfulness approaches work online
Karolina commonly draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and role patterns. This approach helps when someone struggles with abandonment, codependency or intimacy issues by tracing how past interactions repeat in today’s life.She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Those techniques support people who need a steady place to talk through guilt, grief or life changes without pressure to perform.
Mindfulness practice features as a way to notice difficult emotions and bodily reactions. It is used alongside motivational interviewing to help clarify values and support behaviour change, for example around substance use or eating-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karolina will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences. This collaborative planning can change as therapy proceeds.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week by removing commuting, allowing shorter check-ins, or avoiding video when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed.
