Justyna Isobel Matejek
Body-Mind Counselling, Colchester, Essex

For over 15 years, I have had the privilege of working alongside people in a variety of settings—supporting individuals and groups through times of challenge, change, and growth. I am a BACP Accredited counsellor, Clinical Supervisor, Counselling Tutor, and Group Facilitator. 

​

I specialise in:

​

• Healing from sexual abuse/child sexual abuse

• Post Traumatic Stress/ Complex Post Traumatic Stress

• Anxiety

• Relational Trauma/ Healing from Narcissistic Abuse

• Childhood Trauma- Disembodied Self, Disintegrated sense of self. 

• Shame/ Toxic Shame

• Loss of meaning in life, a lost sense of belonging. 

• Loss of identity

• Exile trauma/ displacement trauma

​

My trainings are rooted in the philosophy of person-centred psychotherapy and somatic methods. This allows me to support healing not only through talking but also by gently attending to the body and its wisdom.

​

My approach closely resonates with those of Gabor Mate, Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, Babette Rothschild, and Christiane Sanderson, all of whom emphasise compassionate inquiry. I draw influences from Eastern philosophies, primarily Taoism and Buddhism, as well as energetic healing practices and the therapeutic use of sound. 
 

I offer Person-Centred, Body Mind Integrative Therapy: a way of working that honours the deep connection between body and mind in psychological health.

​

I work purely with the Person-Centred Approach, or integratively, depending on the client`s needs. ​

​

My focus is on creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I support clients in learning how to:

​

  •  Regulate emotions

  •  Process trauma safely

  •  Move towards balance and wholeness

​

At the heart of my practice is the belief that healing is possible, and that growth can happen in ways that feel grounded, gentle, and deeply human.
