About Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people cope after traumatic events and manage anxiety. She speaks English and Polish and can hold sessions in either language. Krystyna aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship based on trust and clear boundaries so people feel able to explore what is troubling them.
She offers both short-term work and longer open-ended counselling, matching pace to each person's readiness for change.
Background and approach
In early sessions she focuses on understanding the roots of symptoms and how they affect everyday life. That shared understanding guides choices about practical steps and longer-term patterns to address. Her practice includes approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally focused ideas and mindfulness.
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and find the energy to move forward. Sessions are conversational and aimed at making small, achievable changes. Krystyna has four years of clinical experience and lists registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She is based in the United Kingdom and frames therapy around what a person wants to achieve rather than a fixed programme. Typical concerns she supports include trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting and family-related matters, addiction, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and difficulties with self-esteem and body image.
She also works with career change, sleep problems, ADHD and a range of additional focus areas.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience and offering empathic, non-judgemental listening. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or manage low mood. It suits people who want structured tools to change day-to-day patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and attachment patterns to help people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships. It can be useful when relationship worries or intimacy concerns are central.
Krystyna treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will work with each person to identify goals, try methods and adjust the plan as needed. Decisions about length and focus happen together so the pace matches personal readiness.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life or busy schedules while keeping the therapeutic aims central.
