About Krystyna

Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who focuses on practical help for people facing trauma, anxiety, stress and life changes. She speaks English and Polish and can work in either language. Krystyna aims to help clients reduce fear and build a more content life at a pace that feels right for them.

She offers both short-term, solution-focused work and longer open-ended counselling depending on what the person wants. Sessions are guided by a collaborative relationship that values trust and clear boundaries. Krystyna listens for the roots of symptoms and how they affect daily life, then helps identify steps to manage them.

Her approach blends talking therapies and practical techniques. She uses methods that help people notice patterns, try different responses, and practise new ways of coping between sessions. That mix can suit issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting stresses.

Krystyna trained at Greenwich University in London and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. She brings four years of professional experience to her practice. Clients can expect straightforward language, regular check-ins on progress, and a focus on real-world change.

Sessions are offered in the United Kingdom. International clients are not accepted. If someone prefers to work in Polish, she can carry out sessions in that language as well.

How Krystyna’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics. This approach helps people feel heard and make choices that suit their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, mood and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to identify and work with strong emotions and attachment patterns to improve how someone connects with themselves and others, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Krystyna will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. She adapts the pace and tools so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method onto everyone.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Phone sessions can be useful when a shorter check-in is needed or when bandwidth is limited, while online video can help maintain visual connection for emotional work. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking so they match a person's routine and needs.
