Magdalena Seremak-Kaczmarczyk, BACP

Magdalena Seremak-Kaczmarczyk is a qualified counsellor who completed an MSc in Counselling and Positive Psychology at the University of Bolton - a master's degree that combined therapeutic training with the study of strengths and wellbeing. She has volunteered for six years with a free counselling service, supporting people through a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, job loss, health and financial difficulties, family breakdown, domestic violence, sexual abuse and trauma.

Her work has also included supporting people with alcohol and drug addiction, individuals experiencing homelessness and survivors of human trafficking. Magdalena describes her psychotherapeutic approach as largely focused on working with the subconscious to shift how people understand and respond to life and its problems. She draws on a variety of methods in her practice, including elements of positive psychology and mindfulness, person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, solution-focused strategies and practices of radical forgiveness.

Magdalena offers a non-judgmental, empathetic space where clients can explore their concerns and begin therapeutic work toward change and healing. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and welcomes enquiries from people seeking support. Please do not hesitate to make contact to discuss whether she may be a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Magdalena uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore emotions, relationships and self-esteem without pressure from the therapist.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to address symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness therapy is another element of her practice, teaching present-moment awareness and stress reduction techniques that can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Magdalena works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She partners with clients to adapt techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from different locations and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable.
