Synergia Integrative Therapies

Compulsory “first day of a new job” selfie ✅

I’m excited to announce that I’ve started a new role as a Paediatric Neurodevelopmental Nurse Practitioner in the NHS (and soon to be trainee nurse prescriber 🤓)

I’ll continue running my online private therapy practice at Synergia as my other part-time role, so nothing will be changing on that front 🗣️💻 🙌🏼

As a late diagnosed woman with AuDHD, I’m super excited to develop further my paediatric nursing skills in the neurodiversity specialism and to hopefully bring in some lived experience of value to the children, young people and families I’ll be working with 🌈

Let me know your thoughts in the comments 🙏🏼

Mindfulness and therapeutic yoga are widely recognized for their ability to alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression.

Approaches that target only the mind often neglect how closely mental habits are linked to the body’s and brain’s functioning. Without incorporating movement or breathwork, it’s challenging to address ingrained patterns of thought and reaction.

Similarly, focusing solely on the body may overlook the root causes of habitual responses to the environment.

This course uniquely addresses the whole person—mind, body, and brain—fostering long-lasting, transformative change.

The ethos of this course is: acceptance, community, awareness, regulation and empowerment.

Participants will meet once a week for two hours over the course of eight weeks via video calls. To ensure a supportive therapeutic experience, each course is capped at max 10 places.

Each session delves into how the mind, body, and brain interact, providing practices that nurture well-being in each area.

Sessions consist of a 70-minute yoga practice, breathwork, additional mind-body exercises, and a group discussion.

To support home practice, participants will receive a detailed manual and an audio set with tracks aligned to each week’s content. Importantly, no prior yoga experience is necessary to join the course.

Course exclusion criteria:

-if you are currently receiving any talking therapy from me

-if you are experiencing: current PTSD symptoms, current or recent psychosis, borderline personality disorder symptoms, current treatment for an eating disorder, current ME/CFS symptoms, any physical conditions/symptoms that may prohibit you from the physical element of the course, recovery from addictions, current or recent (last 3 months) suicidal intent/plans/attempts. For such clients 1:1 Yoga Therapy sessions are the recommended treatment (see above for details of what I offer). Each client’s suitability will be screened and where relevant discussed in a pre-course call.

£200 per person for 16hrs of direct contact with the therapist (me). I will offer one place per course at a heavily discounted rate of £100 to a chosen person on low income.

Another satisfied client at Synergia Integrative Therapies 🙌🏼

“Dear Paulina

I feel anxious, sad and tearful that my appointments with you are coming to an end.

You have been so helpful, understanding, and I can honestly say that you are one of the very few people in my life that I have encountered, where I have felt safe, able to open up just a little bit.

I also trust you implicitly which is a huge thing for me. I feel like you have my back.

I completely understand that my therapy appointments with you would always come to an end, and I am so grateful that you have taken the time to refer me to further specialist mental health services.

The tools you have given me to help cope with my complex PTSD have been so helpful, and I promise to keep using them as I progress through my future treatment.

I want you to know that whatever happens in my life going forward, I will always be so grateful to you for the help you have given me.

I wish you nothing but good things in your life. You truly are a good person and you are one of the very few people who have touched my life in a positive way.

‘I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become’

Once again, thank you for just being a superstar. I will never forget you”

Another wonderful testimonial, this time from one of my recent CBT clients 🙏🏼

“Paulina, my therapist, the real MVP (most valuable player),
With a heart so warm, she set my spirit free.
She’s got this wisdom, like a life GPS,
Helping me navigate through my own mess.

No judgment, just love, in every session.
Paulina, my friend, a healing confession.
Her patience is endless, kindness on display,
Turning therapy into a safe, comfy bay.
In the ups and downs, the highs and lows,
Paulina, you rock, and that’s how it goes.

What a fantastic experience it was to support and co-create human mandalas as part of the team at the festival 2024.

It was something quite special to observe hundreds of participants connecting with themselves and others through the practice of Yoga in this gorgeous Shala ; to witness them exploring their relationship to their bodies, breaths, minds and spirits at individual and interpersonal levels.

A beautiful reminder of the immense value that a supportive community collaborating with intention can offer in times when maladaptive hyper-independence, polarisation, burn out and loneliness are such a common experience for many of us.

🙏🏼💗
