Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch, BACP, NCPS

Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, or questions about identity and intimacy. She introduces straightforward conversation and steady support so people can make small, manageable changes. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and draw on 13 years of experience in the UK. Joanna works from the view that each person knows their own life best. She listens without judgement and helps clients name what matters most to them. Together they set practical goals and try ways of coping that fit day-to-day life. Her approach mixes talking therapies that focus on present problems with methods that look at patterns from the past. Cognitive approaches are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Trauma-focused techniques are drawn on when difficult events are getting in the way of feeling safe and connected. Joanna also uses solution-focused ideas to build quick steps forward. Sessions aim to be concrete and useful, not full of jargon. People looking for help with communication, control issues, parenting pressures, fertility worries, or problems linked to immigration, HIV or abuse can bring those concerns into the room. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has worked across different settings in the UK for over a decade. New clients begin by sharing a short summary of their situation and what they hope to change. Joanna then works collaboratively to choose the next steps.

Approaches you can use online

Client-Centred Therapy is about being heard and understood. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflecting what they say and helping them clarify values and choices. This approach helps when someone needs space to process feelings and decide what matters next.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood, and relationship-related thinking that gets in the way.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks carefully at how past hurts affect day-to-day life now. It helps people build safety and develop new ways to cope with triggers and painful memories.

Joanna will work with each person to choose the right mix of approaches. Finding the best fit is a shared process based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the pace and tools as trust and clarity grow.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and to work through exercises together. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Text and chat are handy for short check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try therapy in a way that suits everyday life.
