Krystyna Dabrowa, BACP

Krystyna Dabrowa welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She works to create a calm space where people can talk about what is worrying them and begin to feel more able to cope. Krystyna uses a respectful, compassionate approach and adapts each conversation to the person's needs.

She has four years of professional experience and practises in the United Kingdom. Krystyna helps people deal with trauma and abuse, grief, anger and issues with self-esteem. She also supports people facing concerns such as body image, codependency, infidelity and difficulties with communication.

Krystyna uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows each person's lead in sessions. The work focuses on understanding what matters to the person and finding practical ways to move forward. Sessions aim to build confidence, increase coping skills and reduce distress.

People can work with her in English or Polish. She treats concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, avoidant and antisocial personality traits, control and commitment problems, hoarding, guilt and shame, and domestic violence impacts. Her approach is steady and responsive rather than prescriptive.

Arranging sessions follows a straightforward process and Krystyna will tailor the plan to the person's goals. She emphasises respect and sensitivity in every step and supports clients as they take practical actions toward change.

Client-centred approaches and online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach suits difficulties like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and the effects of trauma because it centres the person's own goals and pace.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Krystyna will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the way sessions run so the work fits the individual's life and what they hope to change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing written support that can fit around work and family commitments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule for people with busy lives.
