MAGDA PIESIEWICZ

Magda is a London-based Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist with an MSc in Psychology. Magda studied Psychotherapy at Regent’s University and has completed her Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Sexology at the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology in Cambridge.

Her prior occupation as a teacher has sparked her passion for further studying human behaviour and lifelong development. Late in her education career, Magda started exploring work in the mental health field, working in SEN School for young adults suffering from severe autism and volunteering for SANE, a helpline for people with mental distress. Magda undertook her two-year student placement in one of the Harley Street clinics, where she had a chance to acquire skills to work with individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours and relationship difficulties.

In her work as a GSRD (Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity) affirming and culturally sensitive practitioner, she aims to create a non-judgmental, supportive space where she encourages openness and honesty, embracing the diversity and uniqueness of her clients. Magda applies a pluralistic approach, taking into account the socio-cultural and psychological factors factoring into the underlying issues. As an integrative psychosexual therapist, she derives from various approaches including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, narrative, relational, transaction analysis, and trauma therapy.

Magda primarily works with people struggling with sexual compulsivity (often misunderstood as sex addiction), but also helps couples and individuals with psychosexual and relationship struggles. She adopts a range of diverse, evidence-based, and client-focused interventions whilst maintaining the centrality of therapeutic alliance
