Calm, practical support for life's challenges
Book with JoannaAbout Joanna
Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief or low self-esteem. She supports those coping with trauma, anger, addictions and intimate or parenting concerns. Joanna speaks English and Polish and aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone considering counselling.
Joanna believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to therapy. She uses that starting point to help clients notice what already works and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical, with space to talk through feelings and to plan small changes. With 13 years of experience, Joanna draws on several approaches to suit different needs. She blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and practical patterns.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to cause distress. People come for help with a wide range of concerns, including sexuality and LGBT-related issues, family matters, fertility and fatherhood questions, HIV and immigration-related stress. Joanna also addresses communication problems, control issues, infidelity and isolation.
Her listed credentials are BACP and NCPS, which reflect professional membership and standards. Joanna works from the United Kingdom and offers services in English and Polish. If someone wants to begin, Joanna encourages using the site's matching process to find the best way to proceed.

How Joanna’s approaches work online
Joanna uses client-centred work to listen and build a plan around a person's own priorities. This approach focuses on understanding the person and supporting their strengths, which helps when someone needs space to talk and be heard.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT offers clear tools and short exercises to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change unhelpful patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Trauma-focused methods are used where past events continue to cause distress, and these aim to reduce the intensity of unsettling memories and reactions while teaching coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then recommend a blend of techniques. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and when to adapt the plan.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to join from different locations, which can help maintain continuity during busy periods.
