Joanna Klekotko helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or big life changes. She works in a straightforward and calm way so people can talk about what matters most. Joanna speaks English and Polish and draws on 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom to support adults seeking individual or couples work.

Joanna uses a mix of approaches suited to each person. She often combines cognitive behavioural techniques with client-centred listening and attachment-based ideas.

Background and approach

This means she pays attention to thoughts and behaviours while also noticing emotions, values and core relationship patterns. Typical sessions start by looking at the main problems and what the client hopes to change. Joanna and the client set goals together and pick practical steps to try between sessions.

She offers both short-term counselling and longer open-ended psychotherapy depending on the person’s needs. Subjects she commonly helps with include anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy and parenting strains, as well as body image and identity concerns. Joanna also supports people coping with abandonment, attachment hurts, blended family stress and communication breakdowns.

Her style is collaborative and emotionally attuned. Joanna aims to help people connect with their values and notice what matters to them. Sessions happen online by video or phone, by text-based messaging or live chat, so people can choose what fits their life.

How Joanna’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape how people connect and respond to others. This approach can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment wounds and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Joanna collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and the problems they bring. She adjusts tools and pace as the work develops and as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can pick what works best in daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
