About Tom

Tom Jagiello

I’m not here to fix you.
I’m here because I’ve seen what happens when someone stops trying to fix themselves — and starts reclaiming their life.Tom Jagiello

That moment in their eyes.
The shift.
When the story of limitation gives way to something quieter — and stronger.
There’s no greater satisfaction for me than witnessing that change.


My work draws on several disciplines.
I’m an EMDR and Ego State Therapy practitioner, NLP Trainer, and Master Practitioner of Time Line Therapy™, Clinical Hypnosis, and Coaching. I’m also certified in Goal Mapping.

But methods are not the point.
I don’t believe people “have problems” — I believe they’re stuck in a frame where choices seem missing. My role is not to label or explain. It’s to support you in re-accessing what’s already there, and finding the kind of movement that fits your real situation.

I work with individuals in English or Polish, mostly online — via Zoom.
In-person sessions are also possible in North London, at Hackney Therapy House (Second Floor, 83 Kingsland High Street, Dalston, London E8 2PB).

Together with, Dorota Rospierska — a systemic family psychotherapist — we also work with couples and families. (You’ll find more on her profile.)

This isn’t about improvement.
It’s about integrity.

I offer: Hypnotherapy, EMDR, Ego state therapy and complementary therapeutic approaches.

About me:

I was born and raised in Poland during the communist regime.

Since my teens, I knew I wouldn’t stay.
There was always a sense — quiet but certain — that I would live in an English-speaking country.

But I lived behind the Iron Curtain.
It wasn’t just unlikely. It was impossible.

Then came 1989. The system collapsed.
By 2004, the political atmosphere in Poland was becoming — to us — increasingly embarrassing. At the same time, the UK opened its borders. A man from Lincolnshire, unable to find local staff, started recruiting in Poland. The job wasn’t good. It wasn’t well paid. But it was legal — and it was a beginning.

That’s how we left. That’s how it started.

Since I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the mind — hypnosis, parapsychology, meditation.

In autumn 1981, at 17, I began a meditative practice through what felt like an improbable sequence of events.

In 1982, during the Martial Law, I met Zen Master Sungh Sahn and entered formal Buddhist training.
A year later, influenced by Lama Ole Nydahl , I began practising Tibetan Buddhism in the Karma Kagyu yogic tradition.

I founded the first Tibetan centre in my city and helped set up another in a nearby town.
For 15 years I was deeply involved in running these centres — offering lectures, meditation instructions, and talks on working with the mind.

At the same time, I began practising Tai Chi.

In the late ’90s, I came across my first NLP book — Solutions by Leslie Cameron-Bandler.
What I found there felt familiar. Natural. It matched what I’d already been doing in a different language.

When we moved to the UK, my wife’s Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology — awarded by one of Poland’s best universities — was recognised as a Bachelor’s. She faced a choice: do a conversion course, or start again. She chose the harder path — four more years of systemic family therapy training.
That meant I had to wait.

When the time was right, I completed the full NLP path — from practitioner to trainer — adding other methods along the way.
I was able to start working with clients quickly and accumulate hundreds of hours. I remain grateful to every one of them.

For me, NLP, Time Line Therapy™, and hypnosis are a natural continuation of my previous path.
EMDR and Ego State Therapy allow me to support trauma work with the most effective tools I know.
Forty years of meditation gave me experience in working with the mind — directly, honestly, without excess.

My attitude is simple:
Let’s find what works.
Let it take as little time as it needs.
Life is precious so let’s use it well.
