About Joanna
Joanna Klekotko is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who supports adults through stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She offers help with depression, self‑esteem, addiction concerns and grief. Joanna also works with issues such as ADHD, intimacy problems and coping with life changes.
Sessions are available in English and Polish and she practises in the United Kingdom. Joanna draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and make values‑based choices.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is employed to identify thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. Attachment‑based ideas help when relationship patterns and past losses shape how someone connects with others. Her style is conversational and goal‑oriented.
In early sessions she and the client identify the main concerns and agree practical steps to address them. Some people choose short‑term counselling, while others prefer open‑ended psychotherapy tailored to longer standing difficulties. Joanna aims to help people connect with emotions, needs and personal values.
She works with individual adults and also offers couples work to address relationship strains. Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different routines. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Joanna supports people who want to build emotional resilience and find clearer ways of coping with transitions and stressful periods. Sessions begin by discussing the goals and practical steps for therapy. Joanna adapts the plan as progress continues so work stays relevant and focused.

How Joanna’s Approaches Work Online
Joanna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as key tools in her online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters and take small steps that match their values, which can ease avoidance and worry. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also brings attachment‑based ideas into sessions when relationship patterns and early losses affect current connections. That approach helps clients understand why they react in certain ways and try new ways of relating to others. Joanna discusses these approaches with each person and together they choose what to focus on so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face‑to‑face conversation when they want a fuller connection. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check‑ins, ongoing coaching or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional clarity.
