About Krystyna

Krystyna Jankowska is a Counsellor and Psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Polish. Her practice covers trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and a broad range of relationship and life-change concerns including blended family issues.

Krystyna uses both short-term solution-focused work and longer open-ended counselling depending on what a person needs. She aims to build a professional relationship with clear boundaries and to help people understand how their symptoms affect daily life. That understanding guides decisions about which approaches to try next.

In sessions she helps people map where symptoms come from and what keeps them going. Conversations include looking at feelings, patterns and practical steps that can reduce distress. She draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness to shift thoughts and routines, alongside Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused ideas to explore feelings and relationships.

Krystyna also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, parenting strain, self-esteem and career concerns. She can work on issues linked to attachment, abandonment and intimacy. Her practice notes include a focus on blended family issues when that is part of what someone brings.

Sessions are offered in English and Polish. For people who choose online or telephone sessions she asks clients to pick the pace that feels manageable and to agree on goals together. To begin, clients use the site match process and schedule an initial appointment.

How Krystyna uses therapy approaches online

Krystyna commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, mood and sleep. Mindfulness Therapy uses present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy ideas to listen without judgement and to shape sessions around what matters to the person. That means treatment choices are discussed together, and the therapist adjusts methods based on the client's goals and comfort level.

Online sessions are presented as a way to fit therapy into a busy life. People can plan sessions around work, family responsibilities and travel without needing to visit a clinic. If you are unsure which session setup will work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what to expect. Registered or accredited professionals like Krystyna aim to make therapy practical and manageable, helping clients try tools between sessions and check progress as they go.
