Soul Healing Counselling

When life’s worries and challenges feel unmanageable, and you’re ready to make meaningful changes, therapy can offer the clarity, insight, and support needed to uncover solutions and find healing. Many carry burdens alone for years—often from childhood—fearing judgment, rejection, or the distress of sharing their pain with loved ones. Therapy creates a compassionate space where you don’t need to hide; instead, you can feel safe, heard, and respected.

Counselling is for anyone seeking change, whether you’re navigating grief, illness, stress, relationship struggles, or hoping to make peace with past experiences. While asking for help can be challenging, talking to a counsellor offers a place to explore even the most difficult feelings. Here, you’ll be supported by someone skilled in listening without judgment, allowing you to confront what’s been holding you back and gently guiding you toward peace and strength.

Therapy is a journey—not just to solve problems but to better understand yourself, improve your relationships, and enhance your well-being. While some sessions may feel harder than others, each step brings you closer to the change you’re seeking. Counselling isn’t a quick fix, and your counsellor won’t tell you what to do; rather, they’ll provide honest feedback, helping you discover your own path forward.

Through this journey, you may feel a mix of emotions as painful memories arise, but each step is part of the healing process. With patience and commitment, counselling can lead to lasting growth, resilience, and an empowered sense of self.

Open ended counselling

At Soul Healing Counselling, I understand that healing doesn’t always follow a timeline. That’s why I offer open contract counselling—a flexible, client-led approach that allows you to attend sessions for as long as you find them helpful, without a predetermined end date.

This model supports you in working through challenges at your own pace, in a way that feels natural and respectful to your journey.

🌿 Key Benefits of Open Contract Counselling:

  • Client-Centered Flexibility

    You decide how long you’d like to stay in therapy. This puts you in control of your therapeutic process, based on your goals, progress, and changing needs.

  • Builds a Strong Therapeutic Relationship

    With no pressure to ‘rush through,’ open contract therapy nurtures a deeper, trusting connection between you and your counsellor—an essential part of long-term healing.

  • Space for Deeper Work

    Without time limits, there’s more opportunity to explore complex emotions, long-standing patterns, trauma, or deeply-rooted issues at a pace that feels safe and supported.

  • Supports Ongoing Growth

    Life evolves, and so can your focus in therapy. This model allows room to continue exploring new challenges, relationships, or transitions as they come up.

  • Gentle Endings, When You’re Ready

    You’ll never be rushed to finish. When the time feels right for you to end therapy, we’ll work together to ensure a mindful and empowering closure to your sessions.

“The Rise Within”

You are not your silence, nor the pain you’ve had to bear,

Not the echoes of approval, nor the weight of others’ care.

You’ve worn masks built from duty, from survival, from old names,

But the soul within you whispers, “You are more than these old chains.”

You’ve danced to keep the peace while your spirit longed to cry,

Held pieces of a family’s past, never asking why.

But deep within the ache, a flicker still remained—

The courage of your lineage, reimagined, unrestrained.

Let the tears fall freely, let your voice reclaim the day,

Each wound you gently tend to lights a brighter, clearer way.

You’re not here to carry burdens never meant to be your own,

You’re here to heal, to soften, and to finally come home.

You can set down guilt and stories carved in others’ fear,

You can learn to speak your truth and hold yourself near.

Not selfish, not too much, not wrong for needing space—

You are worthy of your wholeness, of your gentle, sacred place.

And when it feels too heavy, too tangled to unbind,

Know healing isn’t perfect—it’s the meeting of the mind

With the soul’s brave remembering that you were always enough,

That love begins within you, steady, warm, and tough.

So rise, not just for you, but for all who came before,

Who longed for peace but couldn’t open healing’s door.

You are the shift, the change, the long-awaited dawn—

The one who breaks the cycle, and finally moves on.

Counselling is like untangling the threads of a tapestry that have become knotted, allowing the pattern to emerge clearly again

    Anonymous

  • "I find mental health is a seriously thing that so many people are dealing with. I found "Soul Healing" after going through so many psychologists, Alicja is such an amazing person and Psychologist- her range of knowledge is inspiring, her approach to help you is not just to sit and talk (you can if you want) but its to create, to have fun and learn about yourself through your own personality. To shape your appointment to suit you and she makes you feel so comfortable to express yourself however that may be. Each session is completely different and each session makes you feel you can do anything you set your mind too. If you want to help your mental health but don't went the typical "sit and talk" session I highly recommend Alicja. She's done so much for me and I couldn't thank her enough."

 MEET YOUR COUNSELLOR

Hi, I’m Alicja,
your Go-To Counsellor in Jersey

I’m someone who carries both fire and gentleness, with the heart of a healer and the mind of a strategist. I’ve walked through burnout, grief, major life changes - not untouched, but reshaped. These experiences didn’t break me; they clarified my purpose. They taught me how to hold space for pain, for hope, for truth, and for healing.

I’m trained in creative and integrative approaches, including CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic work, meditation, Thought Field Therapy, and energy-based practices like Emotion and Body Code. What this means is we don’t have to stay in one lane. We can draw from what works for you. Whether it’s grounding breathwork, therapy cards, nervous system regulation tools, or quiet reflection, each session is shaped around where you are and what you need.

I don’t believe in fixing people. I believe in walking alongside them - gently, honestly, with depth and care.

Creativity is woven through everything I do. It’s how I understand the world, and how I invite others to explore theirs. Therapy with me might include colour, metaphor, art, movement, or simply a different way of looking at something. You’ll also receive thoughtful tools, printouts, and practices to carry into your day-to-day - because healing doesn’t stop at the end of the session.

I’m a mother. I love all animals. A passionate advocate. A bit quirky. Deeply human. I believe in softness, structure, humour, and soul.

And I will always, always hold hope for you, especially when it feels hard to hold it for yourself.
