Process-Oriented Psychotherapy – What is it and how can it help you?
Process-Oriented Psychology, also known as Process Work, is a holistic and integrative approach to psychotherapy developed by Arnold Mindell – a psychologist, Jungian analyst, and physicist. It sees all of our experiences – even those that are painful, confusing, or unwanted – as potentially meaningful and valuable sources of self-knowledge. These can become the beginning of real inner transformation.
At the heart of Process Work lies awareness – of what is happening within and around us: in the body, emotions, dreams, relationships, thoughts, fantasies, and the environment.
A Process-Oriented Therapist supports you in noticing and making sense of subtle inner and outer signals – often overlooked in everyday life – that may lead to deeper insight and meaningful change.
This approach invites curiosity, openness, and a deeper connection with yourself and the world.
What does Process-Oriented Therapy look like?
In my work, I use a wide range of tools, selected and adapted to suit your individual needs and situation. These may include:
- therapeutic dialogue
- working with the body and physical symptoms
- movement, gestures, and voice work
- role play and experimenting
- drawing and other visual techniques
- working with dreams and imagination
The goal of this process is to bring greater awareness to life experiences that may feel confusing, painful, or stuck. Through exploration, people can discover various resources, personal strengths, and new directions for growth.
Who Is Process-Oriented Therapy for?
This method is suitable for:
- individuals seeking support during difficult times
- couples navigating relationship challenges
- people wanting to better understand themselves
- those exploring personal development or life transitions
Thanks to its flexibility and wide range of methods therapy in the Process Work model can be adapted to your unique situation.
How I work
In my practice, I primarily draw on Process-Oriented Psychology, but I also integrate other psychotherapeutic modalities when helpful. My approach is always tailored to you – to your specific needs, goals, and personal context.
I am also an accredited Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) practitioner. This method supports individuals in developing the ability to reflect on their own and others’ thoughts, emotions, and intentions – a crucial capacity for building and sustaining healthy relationships.
This integrative and trauma-informed approach allows me to work flexibly, whether we are addressing emotional pain, relationship difficulties, or a desire for personal growth.
Therapy in London and online
I offer psychotherapy in English and Polish, both in person in London and online across the UK and internationally. Online sessions are held via secure video platforms, making therapy more accessible and convenient for those with busy schedules or living abroad.
