About Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people move beyond fear and anxiety. She speaks English and Polish and can hold sessions in either language. Krystyna offers both short-term work and longer open-ended counselling, and she aims to match pace to each person's readiness for change.
She focuses on trauma, grief, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy concerns, and also supports people facing stress, addictions, parenting strain, career shifts and codependency. Sessions start by building a trusting professional relationship with clear boundaries so people feel steady enough to look at what matters.
Krystyna uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She works in a client-centred way, listens for what matters most, and combines practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy with steps that help people name and move through emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing can also feature in sessions when helpful.
With four years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she aims to help people see the roots of their difficulties. That understanding is used to pick ways of working that feel manageable and relevant.
Sessions can be arranged at a pace the client chooses. Krystyna asks for permission to explore difficult material and supports gradual change. People who want to learn more can follow the Start Therapy steps to begin the matching process.
How Krystyna’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities and values. In practice this means sessions start by hearing what matters most and adapting the pace to the individual, which helps with issues like grief, stress and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. It often includes simple exercises to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and some addiction-related patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and make sense of their emotional responses. This can be useful for intimacy-related worries and relationship patterns by naming feelings and trying new ways of responding.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Krystyna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, and then try methods that suit those aims. That decision is revisited over time so the way of working can change as needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session format options before booking since formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling such as shorter phone check-ins when that suits. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises and practical tasks to an online setting so therapy stays focused on everyday changes.
