"Trauma is something that happens to you that makes you so upset that it overwhelms you. Trauma is not the event that happens but it is how you respond to it."
— Bessel van der Kolk
TRAUMA THERAPY & EMDRIf you are reading this, you have probably experienced some form of trauma, and it has left you unable to experience life fully. I am sorry.
UNDERSTANDING TRAUMATraumatised people have difficulty experiencing joy and pleasure, and it doesn't matter how big or small the traumatic event was—it is what we are left with that matters.
What protects us from becoming traumatised is the presence of someone safe who is there for us at the time of the event or shortly after. When that doesn't happen, therapy is the next best thing.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHERWhen we talk about what happened, or is happening to you, I become that safe person as your therapist. Trauma is stored in the body, and when we talk, your body feels everything you have been through.
Using EMDR (trauma-focused bodywork), conscious breathwork, art, and many other tools in my toolkit, we help your body feel 'it all' until the end, so the fear and pain can leave your body - and thus your mind - for good.
You Are Not Alone
Trauma is extremely common. You are not alone, and you don't have to live with trauma forever.
Meet your therapist
Hi, my name is Aggie (Agnieszka) Korzeniewska, and I’ve spent over a decade supporting women just like you—women who are holding so much, often without anyone truly holding them.
I bring a down-to-earth, holistic approach to therapy. It’s not about “fixing” you. You’re not broken. It’s about helping you come back to yourself, slowly and safely, piece by piece.
Some women I work with find it easy to open up. Others sit quietly at first, unsure where to start. Both are completely okay. Your therapy space is yours. I’ll meet you wherever you are.
We’ll talk. We’ll breathe. We’ll include your body—because it remembers the stress, the joy, the heartbreak, the survival. You don’t have to have all the words. We’ll find them together.
Whether you’re overwhelmed by motherhood, facing a big life change, or just can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t right, I offer a place where you can stop running, take off the mask, and feel what needs to be felt.
