Krystyna Jankowska helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by fear, loss, or life changes. She introduces a calm, straightforward way of working so people can start to feel more in control. Krystyna speaks English and Polish and uses simple, practical steps to support progress.
Krystyna uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on client-centred work to build trust and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness techniques are used when feelings need to be understood and soothed. Her practice supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression and bipolar mood shifts. She also helps with stress, anger, addictions, intimacy and relationship concerns, parenting strain, self‑esteem and sleep problems.
Career changes, coping with illness, caregiving stress and body image are included among her areas of focus. Krystyna holds BACP, which is shown as her professional credential. She has four years of experience working in the field and offers sessions from the United Kingdom.
Sessions are offered in English and Polish and international clients are not accepted. Appointments can be arranged as short-term focused work or as longer open-ended counselling. People choosing short-term work can expect clear goals and practical tools, while those preferring open-ended counselling set the pace themselves.
To begin, a simple matching process is used so people can find a good fit. Krystyna then works collaboratively to pick methods that suit each person’s situation and aims.
How Krystyna works online and the approaches she uses
Krystyna often uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs time and space to make sense of their experience.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns because it offers clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Krystyna discusses goals, preferences and how someone responds to different techniques, then adjusts the plan. She works collaboratively so decisions about pace and methods are shared rather than imposed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are close to face-to-face and help with reading expressions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work. Live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching or when someone prefers writing to speaking.
These formats make counselling more flexible and easier to attend from wherever someone is in the UK. Registered or accredited professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as they do in person, adapting methods to work well through each format.
