Hello, I’m Marta Piechowicz
I’m a psychologist and a certified Process-Oriented Psychotherapist (POP) based in London. I offer therapy in both English and Polish – in person and online.
In my practice, I support adults and couples going through emotional challenges, life transitions, or seeking personal growth. I am also an accredited Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) Practitioner, and have a background in philosophy, which deepens and enriches my work with clients.
Who I work with
I work with individuals and couples – both in the UK and abroad – offering support with a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties, including:
- relationship challenges and interpersonal conflict
- inner tension, depressive mood and lack of direction
- grief and loss
- anxiety, low mood and emotional overwhelm
- life transitions and existential crises
- parenting challenges
- psychosomatic symptoms
I also offer space for self-exploration and personal development, especially for those seeking a deeper connection with themselves and their path in life.
Areas of special focus
I have a particular interest in women’s wellbeing, including the psychological aspects of motherhood and identity transformation during the perinatal period and beyond. I support:
- women during and after pregnancy,
- individuals and couples facing fertility issues,
- parents who have experienced baby loss (during pregnancy or perinatal)
- those having pregnancy after loss.
These sensitive moments in life require care, presence and therapeutic space – and I am honoured to accompany clients through them.

My approach
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I believe that safety, trust, and real human connection are the foundation for meaningful change.
I tailor my therapeutic tools to each client’s needs – drawing from a variety of approaches with a focus on presence, depth and respect for your unique process.
I work under regular supervision and follow the Code of Ethics of the Polish Association of Process-Oriented Psychotherapists (PSPiPP).
