When we say trauma is stored in the body, we mean your nervous system learned protective patterns—tight shoulders, shallow breath, hyper-vigilance, shutdown that can keep firing after the danger is over.
The amygdala (threat detector) stays jumpy, the prefrontal cortex (wise planner) goes dim when you’re triggered, and your autonomic nervous system flips between fight/flight or freeze. Processing isn’t deleting a memory; it’s updating your brain-body connection so your system learns: I’m safe enough now. I have choices.
You’ve heard “the body keeps the score.” But how do you actually help your body change the score? These seven practical steps to process trauma that’s living in your nervous system without re-traumatizing yourself.
This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a practice. Think reps at the gym for your healing.

Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it to not die. And when I'm swimming, sometimes I'm not sure which one it is. - Demetri Martin

You can see me in my private practice in Central London.
I am a fully qualified and accredited UK Gestalt psychotherapist.
I work in Polish and English language.
Areas of expertise:
depression, anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, loss and bereavement, difficulties with fertility, adoption and reactive attachment disorder, divorce, life transitions and adaptation difficulties.
Qualifications and experience.
Four year post-graduated Gestalt therapy training - ITG - Gestalt Therapy Institute in Cracow (2013). Psychotherapist accreditation no. 216 Honours degree in Psychology – London Guildhall University (2003). For the last four years, I have been working as a psychotherapist in my private practice in Poland OPTG and in London OnTherapy. Previously I have worked for over ten years in the field of social care (project management, mental health, family support, child protection, substance misuse, domestic violence and learning disabilities). For a few years, I was a teacher and taught English abroad to children and adolescents.
My approach:
I base my work on Gestalt approach. I also integrate elements of Transactional Analysis, attachment theory, mindfulness and CBT.
In my work, I hold a strong belief in:
the inner strength and resilience of each human being the innate capacity to heal and grow that each of us possess all that is needed for healthy living.
I respect my client’s uniqueness. My role as a psychotherapist is to help my client’s see what they do and where they get stuck. Psychotherapy provides that safe environment to risk and experience more fulfilling ways of being.
There are difficult moments in everyone’s life. Sometimes the past experience might get in the way of being with other people in the present. Sometimes in order to heal and grow, we need to reach for help.

Counselling Children in Primary Schools, The Place to Be, London.
