At the risk of sounding cliché – I came to Aneta quite broken. I had lost myself to an
abusive relationship and could not recognise my life anymore. Apart from the regular
turmoil an abusive relationship brings, I was in active addiction and had isolated
myself entirely from friends and family. This was all happening while I was handling
life in a foreign country. To say the least, I was in quite the precarious situation.

Aneta’s intelligence, empathy, understanding, and knowledge are hard to come by.
On top of this, Aneta is incredibly down to Earth. I make note of this as it is crucial, I
believe, for therapy. This is because it makes you feel as if you’re talking to a trusted
friend rather than a far-removed, detached, therapist with a notebook in hand. For
the sake of my own privacy, I won’t delve into the specifics of my life too much. As
aforementioned, I came to her while I was in an abusive relationship. I did not know it
was abusive at the time, but I knew something wasn’t right. Through diligent and
patient work, Aneta not only helped me leave this relationship, she supported me in
staying out of it. She was, and is, my rock. She helped me completely rebuild myself
after leaving the relationship. This was no easy feat, but she never gave up on me.
On top of helping me become strong enough to leave my relationship, she helped
me overcome my addiction, encouraged healthy relationships, and taught me how to
take care of myself.

Aneta’s expertise is not bound to abusive relationships and getting your life in order
after them. Namely, I had been struggling with mental health since my early teens.
With her support and guidance, I finally got a proper diagnosis and the medication I
needed. She saw me, and knew parts of me before I knew them myself. This is the
beautiful part about having Aneta as your therapist – she is very rarely surprised.
Years of experience, but also her talent, allow her to see you and hold whatever
you’re feeling before you are ready to see it and hold it for yourself. She holds your
hand through this process, and only lets go of it once you’re ready. Nonetheless, she
is human. As a human, she is bound to make the occasional misstep. However, this
has never been an issue for me as I always felt safe and confident in bringing up
anything that did not sit right with me. She loves these sessions – says she can see
my growth and congratulates me for speaking up. It is these sessions where I’m
reminded of how great she is and how thankful I am to have her as my therapist. Ego
never gets in the way. She always listens, and always cares. I still have a lot of
things to work on, but I can feel myself becoming a better person thanks to Aneta’s
help and support.

Informed by previous bad experiences with psychotherapy, I was hesitant to reach
out to Aneta for help. However, she had come recommended to me by a close friend.
This ended up saving my life. So, if you’re struggling, if you’re unsure whether to
reach out to a therapist but feel that you need to, let me be the friend that will
recommend Aneta to you.
