About Magdalena
Counsellor Magdalena Georgoulis-Szulc is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and she practises in the United Kingdom.
Magdalena draws on a multicultural background to understand how culture shapes feelings and relationships. She says her own experiences of depression, loss and trauma inform how she listens and responds to people. Her route into practice included four years of academic study and clinical placements, followed by private work.
In sessions she helps people name what is happening and look at what they want to change. Conversations are practical and focused on what matters to the person in front of her. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with mood, managing urges, grieving and rebuilding self-worth.
Magdalena also works with people facing issues related to cancer and problems with drug or alcohol use. She supports people struggling with emptiness, isolation, self-harm and building self-love. The emphasis is on clear next steps rather than abstract theory.
People who pick her often want straightforward discussion and small, doable changes. To start, she asks for basic information and a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first appointment. This helps set an initial plan and practical goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Magdalena uses evidence-based approaches that focus on changing thoughts and behaviours to improve mood and coping. Such methods typically involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising different ways of responding to stress and anxiety. These techniques can help with low mood, worry and loss of motivation.She also applies approaches that address addiction-related behaviours by looking at triggers and building practical strategies to reduce harm. Work in this area tends to include planning for urges, spotting high-risk situations and developing more helpful routines.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with the client, agree what to try first and adjust the plan as goals and preferences become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits the person, helping therapy fit into ordinary routines without requiring travel.
