About Me
My name is Kasia Sowinska. I earned my Master’s Degree in Psychology at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Poland with emphasis in Clinical Psychology. After completing my degree I moved to Ireland where I work, learn and develop my practice.
I have found working with the body to be an invaluable component of healing, which lead me to the study and practice of Dance Movement Psychotherapy, Laban/Bartenieff Movement System and Somatic Experiencing. I am fascinated with how conscious connection to our body can open us to more joyful, empowered and fulfilled life.

My approach
My intention is to accompany you in a collaborative and receptive way in making a positive impact on your life and moving towards your goals by offering a non-judgmental space where you can explore all parts of yourself and connect to your inner landscape.
I view therapy as a joint creative process and I believe that each person has already what is needed to heal and grow when given the appropriate environment and that through connection and compassion for all parts of ourselves we step closer to inner freedom and living the life we truly want.
I take on an integrative, person-centered approach that incorporates traditional talk therapy with innovations in body awareness and mind-body integration. Through my own experience and years of my practice I’ve found that working with the body and connecting to its wisdom is an invaluable component of healing and growth.
Each person is different and unique, I adapt personalized approach, specific to each individual’s needs.
My work is inspired by Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Dance Therapy and Movement Analysis, Somatic Experiencing, Non-violent Communication (NVC), Internal Family System, Narrative Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Mindfulness and Neuroscience.
