About Paulina
Paulina Wrzesinska is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing life changes and those carrying guilt and shame.
Paulina approaches sessions as a collaborative conversation. She treats the person as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon or long theory explanations.
She has helped people cope with loss and grief, and with problems that sap motivation and confidence. She also works with issues around attachment, control, forgiveness, isolation and self-love. In session she listens for patterns that keep old feelings alive and suggests ways to test different responses.
Paulina aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life easier. This might include straightforward routines, ways to manage overwhelming thoughts, or new ways to speak to yourself. She keeps the tone direct and respectful while working at a pace the client can manage.
Practical matters such as how to begin are handled with clear steps. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Paulina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Cognitive-style approaches look at thinking patterns that feed guilt and shame and help people try out different ways of interpreting situations. Behavioural techniques focus on small, practical actions to reduce avoidance, increase activity and test fears in everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paulina will discuss the options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and reviews what is and is not helpful as therapy progresses.
