Karolina Orenczak
Therapist specialising in attachment and trauma
About Karolina
Karolina Orenczak works from an attachment and trauma-informed perspective to help people who are struggling with anxiety, addiction, loss and relationship pain. She uses humane, client-centred methods to help people feel more supported in themselves and more able to make everyday choices. Karolina holds BACP accreditation, and brings six years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
Her practice focuses on early attachment wounds and how these continue to shape relationships and emotional responses.
Background and approach
She supports people affected by trauma and abuse to process painful memories and to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress. Karolina also helps people navigating grief, life changes, parenting strain, intimacy and issues around sexual identity and polyamory or non-monogamous relationships. In sessions she combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and mindfulness.
She works to stabilise difficult emotions first, then gently explore underlying patterns such as codependency, abandonment fears or dissociation. Practical tools and simple mindfulness exercises are offered alongside deeper exploration of life purpose and shame. Karolina also uses motivational interviewing principles to support change around addictions and eating or substance-related problems.
Her approach aims to meet people where they are and to build realistic steps towards recovery and healthier routines. She is experienced in working with fertility-related distress, postpartum depression and complex grief. Karolina is the author of an Inner Child Workbook and Journal which she uses as a supplement to talk work and reflective tasks.

How attachment and mindfulness translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand patterns such as abandonment fears or difficulty trusting others, and it is useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.Client-centred therapy emphasises empathic listening and helping people find their own direction. This approach supports those dealing with depression, low self-esteem or life transitions by following the client's pace and priorities.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce anxiety and manage intrusive thoughts. These practices pair well with trauma work and with practical steps to handle cravings or urges in addiction.
Karolina will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. The therapy plan is shaped by the client's needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts methods as progress is made.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short check-in during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for quick reflections, homework support or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help make therapy accessible around work, family commitments and busy days.
