About Me

My name is Anna (Dr Agnieszka Anna Pytlowana; HCPC number PYL38709) and I am a Polish-born and UK-trained Clinical Psychologist. I have worked in NHS, Local Authority and private sector services since 2006, which resulted in qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist in 2020. Currently, I work in the NHS (in a perinatal mental health service) as well as in private practice as Mind4Mind.

I continue to work within a perinatal NHS service because I believe in accessible, public mental health care. Alongside this, I set up Mind4Mind to offer something the NHS structurally can’t always provide — longer-term, client-paced therapy, available also outside of office hours, and a space for specific communities I’m passionate about supporting, including adoptive parents with perinatal and other mental health needs, adults (including immigrants like myself) who travel a lot and so are less able to attend regular in-person appointments, individuals who would like support from a Clinical Psychologist for bereavement, and LGBTQIA+ (including ethically non-monogamous) and kink-affirming clients. Mind4Mind allows me to bring many of my passions, interests and specialisms together.

Having had psychological and other therapy myself, I know how helpful it is to meet the therapist prior to making a commitment to regular sessions. You might also want to get a sense of me via my Instagram account (@mind4mind_psychologist) or my book where I have written about my story of bereavement (Coping with Bereavement: Practical Strategies to Empower and Support You).

I find that another way to get a sense of someone is to look at the content of their bookcase (or Kindle, or Spotify audiobook playlist ;). Here is a small snippet of mine:

I aim to practice in a LGBTQIA+ affirming way. I also consider myself a kink-affirming and sex positive psychologist.

I embrace non-Western wisdom and practices, and so if this is part of your journey and way of nurturing your wellbeing, it will be my priority to honour it and include it in our work as relevant and useful to you.

My session fee for individuals is £120. I don’t routinely offer sessions to more than one individual at a time, although can consider this upon specific requests and depending on the nature of your difficulties you wish to address in therapy (with the fee per session being adjusted to £140).

Feel free to request a free 20min telephone or video chat with me.

She brilliantly displays her academic credentials whilst ensuring that her delivery is accessible for all. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.” – Zoë Burt, Female Invest
