Hello, my name is Basia and for many years now I have been writing books and practising as a therapist. I bring both these anchors to my life here, for I believe passionately in the power of human stories to help guide, enlighten and empower our lives.
My latest book, which I co-wrote with my therapist brother, is called Therapy Diaries, how we can thrive in an uncertain world. This is a book full of inspiring stories about our therapeutic encounters with clients, together with stories from our own shocking family history.
Through the medium of story-telling we show how our clients have struggled with, and overcome, so many different, yet common, experiences: anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, amnesia, anger, abuse, bereavement, lockdown, depression etc. We have distilled the stories into three key ingredients that we suggest are the most important ways through which we can all thrive as human beings, through self-knowledge, self-compassion and self-empowerment.
I am also an academic and a teacher, and run workshops on integrative counselling and psychotherapy, having written a book called Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy: a textbook (Routledge, 2019). My other passions include immersive experiences such as long distance running,cycling and Tai Chi.
