Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She works with individuals facing relationship difficulty, trauma, anger and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Joanna uses straightforward conversation to help people find clearer steps forward.

Joanna believes clients know their own story and brings a respectful, listening approach. She offers counselling in English and Polish and draws on 13 years of experience in the United Kingdom.

Background and approach

Her listed credentials are BACP and NCPS. In sessions she blends practical problem-solving with deeper reflection. That can mean spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small changes, or looking back at life events that keep repeating now.

The focus is always on what the person wants to change and what will work in their daily life. Joanna works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, grief, parenting strains, LGBT issues and family or relationship conflicts.

She also helps with more specific problems such as fertility worries, immigration-related stress, HIV / AIDS related matters, fatherhood issues, and anger or control problems. Her approach mixes client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic reflection, solution-focused practical tools and trauma-focused ways of working. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the individual.

Joanna supports people to try new behaviours, understand patterns, and build steadier coping skills. People who want a direct, caring counsellor who balances practical steps with emotional understanding may find her style helpful. Her practice emphasises clear goals, respectful listening and steady progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Joanna uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused ways of responding. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters to the person, helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and gives practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reducing the impact of past traumatic events so daily life becomes more manageable.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Joanna will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video sessions let people see facial cues and use screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Messaging and live chat are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflections or when written expression feels easier. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
