Book with KrystynaAbout Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people move past fear and anxiety. She works in English and Polish and offers sessions paced to each person's needs. Her approach aims to reduce distress and build a more contented life through steady, practical steps.
Krystyna completed a degree at Greenwich University in London and holds BACP registration. She has four years' experience and uses both short-term, solution-based work and longer open-ended counselling depending on what someone wants.
Background and approach
Sessions start by forming a clear professional relationship with agreed boundaries. In therapy she helps people look into the roots of their symptoms and sees how these show up day to day. That shared understanding guides which methods to try next, whether that means changing thought patterns, learning new coping skills, or focusing on emotions between people.
The therapist encourages clients to set the pace and choose goals that feel manageable. Krystyna has experience with a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, bipolar, addictions, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family matters, stress, sleep problems and work or career stress.
She also lists additional focuses such as body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and sexual diversity topics. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and she does not take international clients. To begin, people follow the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking according to therapist availability.

How these therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, accepting relationship where the client sets the pace. It helps people gain clarity about their feelings and choices by being listened to and understood.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical steps and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotional experience and how people connect with others. It can be useful for understanding patterns in relationships and improving emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person’s needs. Decisions are made together and the plan can change as progress is made.
Session options should be confirmed before booking as formats are not specified here. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week, avoiding travel time, easier access when moving between locations, and having the chance to check in from a quieter space. Some people prefer shorter phone check-ins while others choose longer video conversations; confirm the available formats when you arrange your first appointment.
