Krystyna Jankowska, BACP

Krystyna Jankowska offers calm, practical support for people facing trauma, anxiety and sudden life changes. She speaks English and Polish and uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations to help clients feel steadier and more in control. Krystyna aims to build a respectful working relationship where a person sets the pace and their choices guide the work.

She has four years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her professional standing. Sessions can be short-term, up to twelve meetings, or open-ended when someone prefers a slower pace. In the room she listens for what matters most and then helps map out realistic steps forward.

Krystyna combines client-centred listening with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and reduce day-to-day distress. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas for work around close relationships and on motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding commitment to change.

She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, low self-esteem, bipolar mood difficulties and depression. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and sexual subcultures such as BDSM and kink.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Krystyna practises in the United Kingdom and does not take international clients. People who want to begin can follow the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Approaches that suit online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following what the person says matters. It helps people feel understood and able to decide the pace and direction of their work. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Emotionally focused ideas concentrate on experience in close relationships and can be useful for intimacy and attachment-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk about options, try things out and check in regularly about what helps. Together they adjust methods to match a person’s goals and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a richer conversational experience, phone calls suit people with less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
