Dr Aleksandra Klos

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist experienced using different therapeutic models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as well as psychodynamic models, including its short-term version, which is called Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT).

My experience

I currently work for the NHS, offering psychological therapy to adults experiencing a variety of mental health problems, including depression, anxiety or abuse. I have extensive experience working with people who suffered trauma, including female and male victims of domestic violence and people diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.

I have special interest working with individuals who experience depression rooted in relational problems. Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy has been proven to be very helpful with such difficulties.

In my practice I have worked with a variety of cultural backgrounds which inspires me to remain curious and open minded to the personal context of each individual I work with.

It is crucial to find the right therapy for you. Although I specialise in specific types of therapy, my approach is integrative drawing upon different therapeutic models. This is to accommodate your individual needs. Whatever the model of therapy, I believe, the most important aspect is to build trusting therapeutic relationship so that you feel comfortable and safe in session. This is when therapy works at its best.
