Karolina Orenczak, BACP

Karolina Orenczak offers a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that centers on attachment, relationships, and early childhood wounds. She supports people who have experienced trauma and loss to find a greater sense of security in the present, reconnect with their inner child, and build a life that aligns with their values and wishes. Karolina recognises that adversity and painful experiences are part of many lives, and she works from the belief that those experiences deserve attention and careful processing rather than avoidance.

Unprocessed trauma can contribute to anxiety, depression, addiction, post-traumatic stress, and other challenges, so Karolina focuses on providing stabilisation and gentle, paced work to help clients manage symptoms and reclaim wellbeing. Her practice is integrative and trauma-informed, blending Transactional Analysis with Brainspotting to tailor interventions to each person. Brainspotting is described as a neuro-experiential method that can be especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, depression, and attachment-related difficulties, while Transactional Analysis offers a framework for exploring patterns in relationships and self-states.

Karolina holds a BSc in Psychology and an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling specialising in Transactional Analysis, and she is a certified Brainspotting practitioner (Phase 1 and 2). She has completed additional training in grief and bereavement counselling, Rewind Therapy, Shadow Mastery, an introduction to Narrative Exposure Therapy, and working with couples. Karolina is also the author of an Inner Child Workbook and Journal, offering practical tools for healing and self-discovery. Her practice aims to meet people where they are and to combine evidence-informed methods with personalised care.

Approaches to Attachment and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. It helps people explore attachment styles, repair relationship ruptures, and build greater emotional safety in their interactions with others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a nonjudgmental, empathic stance from the therapist - the approach supports self-exploration, strengthens self-worth, and helps people find their own solutions to life challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, offering practical skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Karolina works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify methods that best match individual needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her work over time so the therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions by video call or phone let conversations feel close to in-person work, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional options for communication between appointments. These formats make it easier to schedule care around busy lives and to access consistent support when face-to-face meetings are not possible.
