About Karolina
Karolina Orenczak is a BACP counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship and intimacy struggles. She also helps those dealing with parenting strain, grief, and questions around identity and sexuality.
Her approach draws on attachment-based thinking and psychodynamic ideas to understand early wounds and relational patterns. Sessions are client-centred and may include mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support change. Karolina aims to help people notice how past relationships shape current choices, including people-pleasing and over-giving.
She often focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, codependency patterns, and problems with boundaries and communication. That can mean tracking repeated behaviours, naming triggers, and practising straightforward ways to set limits. Practical coping strategies are combined with exploring relational history.
For people recovering from trauma or loss, Karolina uses trauma-focused methods to work on stabilisation and regulation first. She explains how trauma-related responses show up in daily life and offers step-by-step tools to reduce overwhelm. Work can include grounding, breath-based mindfulness, and reflective conversation.
Karolina has a BACP registration. She is the author of an Inner Child Workbook and Journal that supports the therapeutic themes she covers. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site booking flow and complete the initial questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How attachment and mindfulness translate to online therapy
Karolina uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present-day patterns. That approach helps when someone keeps putting others first, struggles with boundaries, or fears abandonment. Psychodynamic thinking is used to trace recurring patterns and bring them into view so they can be worked with.Mindfulness practices are offered as simple exercises to reduce stress and manage strong emotions between conversations. Motivational interviewing helps with ambivalence, for example when someone wants to cut down on drinking or stop people-pleasing but feels stuck. These approaches aim to be practical and paced to the client's needs.
Finding the best way to work is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods in session, and agree what feels most helpful. That may mean using more reflective conversation some weeks and short mindfulness or behavioural tasks in others.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their approach so therapy fits everyday life and responsibilities.
