Meet Me
I'm Piotr Trznadel, a qualified integrative therapist and the person behind Sensitive Depth.
I was born in Poland, where I completed my Master's degree before moving to London in 2016. What began as a new chapter in my life gradually became a deeper journey of self-discovery, healing and personal growth. Those experiences have shaped not only who I am today, but also the path that eventually led me into counselling and psychotherapy.
I've always been fascinated by people and the complexity of being human. As an artist, creativity, sensitivity and imagination are also important parts of who I am. They have taught me to appreciate that not everything we experience can be understood through words.
For me, becoming a therapist is more than choosing a profession. It feels like a natural continuation of my own journey and a meaningful way of contributing to the lives of others. I approach this work with genuine dedication, humility and a deep sense of responsibility.
My own experiences have taught me that life can be painful, uncertain and complicated, but also that understanding, growth and change are possible. Alongside my professional training and clinical experience, this perspective is part of the humanity I bring to my work.
Hello, I'm Piotr
EXPERIENCE
What Shapes Me as a Therapist
My journey towards becoming a therapist began long before my formal training. Years of personal exploration, healing and growth have shaped not only my understanding of people, but also how I choose to live, connect and experience the world.
I like to think of myself as someone with a person-centred heart, a psychodynamic mind and a Jungian soul.
My person-centred heart is rooted in openness, acceptance and a deep respect for the human experience. I believe in the value of genuine connection, where two people can meet as human beings, with honesty, vulnerability and without pretending to be someone they're not. There is something profoundly meaningful to me about being able to truly see another person and meet them as they are.
My psychodynamic mind is endlessly curious about the depth and complexity of who we are. I love connecting the dots, exploring how our experiences shape us, and understanding the often unseen connections between our thoughts, emotions, relationships and bodily responses. For me, there is always more beneath the surface, waiting to be understood.
And my Jungian soul reflects my belief that being human is about more than our biology or the difficulties we experience. I am drawn to the search for meaning, the integration of different parts of ourselves and the lifelong process of becoming more fully who we are. I believe there is something deeply valuable in our connection with ourselves, with others and with the wider world.
These aren't simply ideas I've learned through books or training. They are values I continue to explore and live by. My professional education, clinical experience and ongoing development have helped me bring this personal understanding into therapeutic work with care, responsibility and respect.
For me, being a therapist is not just what I do. It is a meaningful expression of who I am and how I hope to contribute to the world.
WHEN THE BODY SPEAKS
Beyond Words
Art, music and movement have always been important ways for me to explore and express who I am. They've taught me that not everything we experience can be understood, explained or communicated through words.
As an artist, I've learned to embrace vulnerability, uncertainty and the courage it takes to express something genuinely our own. Creativity has shown me how meaningful it can be to move beyond expectations and allow ourselves to be seen as we truly are, even when that feels uncomfortable.
Music holds a particularly special place in my life. When I dance, I don't simply follow a sequence of movements. I listen to the music, feel its rhythm, energy and emotion, and allow my body to respond naturally. Sometimes that means moving gently, sometimes with strength, and sometimes simply allowing myself to pause. For me, dance is a conversation between music, body and emotion.
In many ways, this reflects how I approach therapy. Just as I listen and respond to music, I try to listen and respond to the person in front of me. I don't believe in forcing someone into a particular way of working. Instead, I aim to adapt to your needs, your pace and what feels right for you, while creating space for us to explore together.
Dance has also taught me to listen beyond words, recognising how much our bodies communicate through movement, sensation and emotion. Sometimes we carry experiences that are difficult to put into words, and I believe those experiences deserve attention too.
Our bodies have their own language, and learning to listen to it can deepen our understanding of ourselves.
THE TRUE SELF
Creating Through Change
I began painting during one of the most difficult chapters of my life. At a time when I was struggling to find my way, creativity became a place where I could express what words couldn't, reconnect with myself and slowly begin to discover who I was becoming.
Over time, painting became much more than a creative outlet. It became part of my journey of healing and transformation. The phoenix holds a special meaning for me, representing not simply rising from difficulties, but the courage to let go, embrace change and discover something new within ourselves.
Through my own experiences, I've come to believe that healing isn't always about returning to who we once were. Sometimes it's about accepting what we've been through, making peace with parts of our story and allowing ourselves to grow into someone we haven't yet had the chance to become.
This understanding is something I carry into my therapeutic work. I believe that even during our most difficult moments, there can be space for discovery, connection and new possibilities. We don't always need to know where we're going to begin finding our way.
For me, it is a genuine honour to be invited into someone else's story, to witness their journey and walk alongside them as they discover what healing and change might mean for them.
THE COST OF SURVIVAL
The Parts We Protect
Through painting, I've also found a way to explore the complexity of our emotional world. The parts of us that long for love and connection, and the parts that have learned to protect us from being hurt.
I believe we all carry different sides of ourselves. We can feel love and fear, strength and vulnerability, hope and sadness, sometimes all at once. And often, the parts we struggle with most are the very parts that once helped us survive difficult experiences.
What fascinates me is how we learn to protect ourselves, sometimes without even realising it. The walls we build, the emotions we hide and the patterns we repeat often have stories behind them. I believe these parts of ourselves deserve curiosity and compassion rather than judgement.
In therapy, we can begin to understand these stories, gently exploring what we've learned to protect, what we may no longer need to carry and how we might reconnect with parts of ourselves that have been hidden for a long time.
You do not need to be creative or interested in art or dance to work with me. These are simply parts of my own experience that have taught me there can be many ways of understanding ourselves — and that sometimes what matters most cannot immediately be put into words.
You are more than what happened to you, and the ways you learned to survive do not have to define how you live the life you want and deserve.
WHY SENSITIVE DEPTH?
Sensitive Depth grew from two values that became deeply important through my own journey — sensitivity and depth. Today, they sit at the heart of how I understand healing, growth and therapy.
Sensitivity is our ability to feel, notice and experience the world deeply. It can bring empathy, creativity and connection, but sometimes also leave us feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood or simply too much.
I believe sensitivity is not something we need to hide or silence. When understood and embraced, it can become a source of self-awareness, connection and strength.
SENSITIVITY
For me, sensitivity and depth belong together. Sensitivity helps us feel what is within us; depth invites us to explore and understand it.
The ocean became a natural symbol for Sensitive Depth. Its surface can be calm or turbulent, while beneath it lies a world we cannot always see. Just as the ocean holds hidden depths, our inner worlds carry emotions, experiences and stories that go far beyond what is visible on the surface.
Sensitive Depth is the space I hope to create for others — a space to feel, explore, understand and grow.
Depth is the willingness to look beneath the surface, to explore what shapes us rather than simply focusing on what we can see.
For me, it means approaching our emotions, experiences and relationships with curiosity, recognising that even the parts of ourselves we struggle with may have something important to tell us.
DEPTH
Therapy can be a place to begin.
YOU MAY BE HERE BECAUSE…
Perhaps you understand yourself in many ways, yet still find yourself caught in patterns that are difficult to change.
You may feel emotions deeply, sometimes becoming overwhelmed or misunderstood. Relationships might feel complicated, or you may be navigating anxiety, grief, questions of identity, self-worth or significant changes in your life.
Maybe you've become very good at adapting, appearing strong and capable on the outside while something very different is happening within. You may have spent years meeting expectations, trying to fit in or becoming who you felt you should be, gradually losing touch with parts of yourself along the way.
Or perhaps you're sensitive, creative or deeply reflective, simply looking for a space where you can explore who you are without feeling that you need to change or hide those parts of yourself.
You don't need to arrive in therapy knowing exactly what is wrong or what needs to change.
Sometimes, all it takes to begin is a wish to understand yourself more deeply, explore what no longer feels right and discover a way of living that feels more authentic to who you are.
