Approach to Therapy

Zofia’s therapeutic approach is structured, collaborative, and highly personalised. She places strong emphasis on tailored Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and phobias, integrating inhibitory learning principles, behavioural strategies, and structured exposure planning to ensure treatment aligns with each client’s symptoms, triggers, and pace.

Her work is grounded in evidence-based methods, including exposure-based therapy, cognitive-behavioural strategies, and behavioural interventions. She is committed to creating a compassionate and practical therapeutic environment where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Evidence-Based Methods

She uses scientifically supported approaches such as ERP, cognitive-behavioural strategies, inhibitory learning principles, and behavioural interventions for OCD and anxiety.

Clarity and Psychoeducation

She provides clear, practical explanations to help clients understand their symptoms and feel informed throughout the therapeutic process.

Gradual, Sustainable Progress

Therapy is paced to match each client’s needs, supporting steady and manageable change in areas such as anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Collaborative and Compassionate Care

Zofia works closely with clients to identify goals and strategies, offering a warm, non-judgmental space that encourages openness and personal growth.

Whole-Person Focus

She considers the client’s history, environment, relationships, and strengths to create a holistic treatment plan that builds resilience, confidence, and meaningful behavioural change.
