Karolina Orenczak, BACP

Karolina Orenczak is a trauma-informed therapist who focuses on attachment, relationships, and early childhood wounds. She works with people affected by loss, abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of adverse experiences, helping them find greater stability and a renewed sense of self. Karolina emphasises a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach that recognises pain as meaningful and worthy of attention, supporting clients to process difficult memories and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Her practice blends trauma-aware methods with relational work, drawing on Transactional Analysis to explore patterns formed in early relationships and Brainspotting, a neuroexperiential model that can help access and process difficult material held in the body and nervous system. She incorporates stabilisation techniques - including grounding and the STAIR framework - to help clients manage intense emotions while progressing through therapy at a pace that suits them.

Karolina holds a BSc in Psychology, a bachelor’s degree focused on the scientific study of mind and behaviour, and an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling specialising in Transactional Analysis. She is a certified Brainspotting practitioner with completion of Phase 1 and Phase 2 training. Additional training includes certificates in Grief and Bereavement Counselling, Rewind Therapy, Shadow Mastery, an introduction to Narrative Exposure Therapy, and working with couples. She is the author of an Inner Child Workbook and Journal, offering practical tools for healing and self-discovery.
