About Katarzyna Budzeń

I hold an MSc in Addiction and Mental Health from London Metropolitan University. I chose this path to deepen my understanding of addiction and mental health and to offer effective, informed support to people seeking recovery, stability and greater balance in their lives.

Since 2017, I have been working at the well-established organisation Change Grow Live (CGL), where I have gained extensive experience in supporting people affected by addiction.

Over the years, this work has shown me how different each person’s story can be and how important it is to respond to each client with care, flexibility and an approach that reflects their individual needs and circumstances.

I am a member of Addiction Professionals, which reflects my commitment to high ethical and professional standards in my work with clients.

I also work under regular individual and group supervision, which supports the quality of my practice and allows me to keep developing my clinical skills.

To support my clients as effectively as possible, I have completed additional training, including CBT for addiction.

In my work, I draw on a broad range of psychological approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy, humanistic approaches, and elements of psychodynamic and Gestalt therapy. This allows me to adapt my way of working to the person in front of me rather than relying on a single rigid model.

Areas of support

• Addiction
• Stress and burnout

Approach

At the heart of my work is the belief that every person has the capacity for change, even when life feels overwhelming or deeply stuck.

I see therapy and support as a process of building bridges — step by step — towards a life that feels more conscious, stable and meaningful.

My role is to help clients reconnect with their own strength and move towards change in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.

Above all, I aim to offer a space where clients feel genuinely listened to, understood and supported — without judgement, and with full attention to their experience.

My work is grounded in respect, compassion and commitment to helping people find a way forward that fits who they are and what they need.
