🌍 International Migrants Day – 18th December
Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of migrants across the world. At Space2BHeard, we believe that every voice matters and every story deserves to be heard.
We’re proud that Space2BHeard has therapists from different nationalities, bringing diverse perspectives and cultural understanding to the support we offer. We asked our therapist Klaudia to tell us a little about her experience.
🗣"To me, migration is as old as the Earth itself. It’s a natural part of the animal kingdom - where humans also belong. Birds migrate. Reindeer migrate. Salmon migrate. And so do we.
Moving to the UK wasn’t something I imagined in my early 20s. I thought I would stay in Poland, but life unfolded differently and I’ve now been here for 19 years. Living between cultures has been deeply enriching and continues to shape me as a psychotherapist. It has broadened my perspective, opened my eyes even wider and made me more attentive to the impact of cultural influences and generational trauma.
Through my own experience, I’ve learned that many clients seek out a migrant psychotherapist for reasons such as safety, understanding and a sense of being accepted. I carry this awareness into my work every day."
💬 Talking therapies can help by offering a safe place to explore identity, process experiences, and build self-compassion.
Migration is often a journey of courage—seeking safety, opportunity, and belonging. But it can also bring challenges: isolation, cultural adjustment, and emotional strain. That’s why we’re committed to creating spaces where people feel valued, understood, and supported.
Let’s stand together for inclusion, dignity, and mental wellbeing for all.
