Meet Lenka

I am a trauma-specialised psychotherapist with postgraduate qualifications from the University of Warwick, the University of Nottingham and the University of Chester. I specialise in trauma recovery, EMDR therapy and relationship therapy, supporting adults who are looking to understand, heal and move beyond the impact of difficult life experiences.

​

My clinical work focuses on childhood trauma, domestic abuse, sexual violence, attachment difficulties, and relational and interpersonal challenges. I believe that many of our emotional struggles make sense when understood through the lens of our life experiences, and that lasting change comes not from "fixing" ourselves, but from understanding ourselves with compassion.

​

Alongside my clinical practice, my academic research has explored the relationship between trauma and the body. My particular interest is in the somatisation of trauma — how unresolved psychological experiences can become expressed through physical symptoms. Over the years, both research and clinical experience have reinforced my belief that our minds, bodies and nervous systems cannot be understood in isolation.

In therapy, I work with the whole person. Rather than focusing only on thoughts or emotions, I help clients understand the connections between their brain, body and emotional world. This holistic, trauma-informed approach supports greater emotional regulation, deeper self-understanding and lasting psychological wellbeing.

​

Above all, I aim to provide a safe, compassionate and collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood and empowered to move towards the life they want to live.
