Karolina Orenczak , BACP

Karolina Orenczak offers a compassionate, integrative approach to therapy with a particular focus on trauma, attachment, relationships, and early childhood wounds. She supports trauma and loss survivors in finding a greater sense of safety in the present, reconnecting with their inner child, and developing a life guided by their own values and choices rather than by past hurts.

Karolina recognises that unprocessed trauma can shape mood, behaviour, and relationships, contributing to anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, and other difficulties. Her work is trauma-informed and tailored to each person she meets, meeting clients where they are and validating the reality of their pain as part of the healing process.

Her clinical practice blends Transactional Analysis with Brainspotting. Brainspotting is a neuro-experiential method that helps the body and mind process trauma, and Karolina applies it alongside stabilisation work to address anxiety, depression, and attachment concerns. She integrates Transactional Analysis models with the STAIR protocol and grounding techniques to support the stabilisation phase of trauma therapy.

Karolina’s training includes a BSc in Psychology, an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling specialising in Transactional Analysis, and certification as a Brainspotting practitioner (Phase 1 and 2). Additional certificates include grief and bereavement counselling, Rewind Therapy, Shadow Mastery, an introduction to Narrative Exposure Therapy, and a certificate in working with couples. She is the author of an Inner Child Workbook and Journal and continues to develop her skills to provide personalised care for each person’s unique journey.

Attachment, client-centered, and mindfulness approaches for online therapy

Karolina uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional safety - this approach helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy, abandonment, or attachment wounds to build more secure connections. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasises empathy, unconditional acceptance, and collaboration so clients can discover their own solutions and strengthen self-worth. Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Karolina works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine methods to tailor treatment, and Karolina adapts her work to suit each individual’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. For many people, remote sessions make consistent, effective therapy more accessible and manageable.
