Karolina Orenczak , BACP

Karolina Orenczak works with people who carry the effects of trauma, attachment wounds, relationship difficulties, and early childhood hurts, offering a compassionate and thorough approach to therapy. She supports trauma and loss survivors in finding a greater sense of safety in the present, reconnecting with their inner child, and building a life that reflects their own values and choices. Karolina acknowledges that adversity and traumatic experiences are part of many people’s lives, and she approaches each person’s story with validation and respect.

Unprocessed trauma can contribute to conditions such as anxiety, depression, addiction, post-traumatic stress, and other mood or personality challenges, so Karolina focuses on creating a stabilising therapeutic pathway that helps clients process painful material and develop coping skills. Her approach is integrative and trauma-informed, blending Transactional Analysis - a model that explores relational patterns and internal roles - with Brainspotting, a neuro-experiential method used to work with trauma, anxiety, depression, and attachment difficulties. She also incorporates the STAIR protocol and grounding techniques during the stabilisation phase of trauma work.

Karolina holds a BSc in Psychology, an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling specialising in Transactional Analysis, and certification as a Brainspotting practitioner (Phase 1 and 2). She has completed additional training in grief and bereavement counselling, Rewind Therapy, Shadow Mastery, an introduction to Narrative Exposure Therapy, and a certificate in working with couples. She is the author of an Inner Child Workbook and Journal, and she continues to integrate varied models to tailor therapy to each person’s journey.

Approaches for attachment and trauma in online therapy

Karolina draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds and relationship patterns affect present-day connections and emotional responses; this work helps people address intimacy issues, trust difficulties, and attachment wounds. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, empathic space that encourages self-exploration and personal growth while respecting the client’s pace and goals. Mindfulness Therapy is integrated to teach present-moment awareness and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Karolina works with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy evolves.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during transitions, or connect from home while maintaining continuity of support with a therapist who understands trauma and attachment.
