Life can feel heavy at times, whether you are carrying self-doubt, old wounds, or the daily pressures of caring for others. For many women and mothers this weight can feel overwhelming. You do not have to hold it all on your own.

About me

Hello, I’m Dr Petra Lipnik, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I’m a Counselling Psychologist, but more than that I’m someone who understands how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying self-doubt, old wounds, or the daily pressures of caring for others.

I’ve supported many people who felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves. My approach is compassionate, flexible and tailored to you. I draw on EMDR, Schema Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy to help make sense of your experiences and find a way forward that feels lighter.

I’m especially drawn to supporting women and mothers who long for a space where they can pause, breathe, and reconnect with who they are beneath all the demands placed on them. Whether you are navigating motherhood or simply wanting to break free from unhelpful patterns and create a life more aligned with your values, this is a safe and judgment free space for you.
