Magda Florek
Magda Florek is an art therapist specialising in helping children and young people. Her qualifications include an MA in Art Psychotherapy from Goldsmiths, University of London. She is also an accredited member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT).
Magda has over 15 years of experience. She runs her private practice from The Awareness Centre in Clapham, working with children (0-12 years) and adolescents (13-18 years). She also works as a school counsellor.
At her private art therapy sessions, she helps children and young people deal with issues such as trauma, life transitions, anxiety, confidence, self-esteem, peer relations, bullying, anger, parental separation and loss/bereavement. Magda also provides consultations for parents and carers, giving support and guidance to bring about long-lasting results.
Developing an authentic and meaningful relationship with her young clients is at the heart of her therapeutic work. She offers a safe and confidential space where children and young people can express themselves through art-making and play, not just words. This is what makes art therapy so effective.
Magda’s non-judgmental approach makes children and young people comfortable expressing what matters most. Through building mutual trust, Magda’s goal is to help her clients become more resilient and better able to cope and feel better about themselves.
Had a good experience with The Awareness Centre when my son did some counselling with Magda Florek in preparation for secondary school. Her approach through art worked really well with our son, who is on the quiet side, and she had some practical advice and reassuring commentary at the end of our round of sessions.
Magda supported my 4yo son process his grief. She took the time to get to know me and the situation before the sessions began and made my son feel very comfortable during his time with her. She is very knowledgeable about working with children and made him feel at ease, enabling him to express himself through play.
