About Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist with a BACP membership and four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing trauma, anxiety, depression and life transitions, and supports those dealing with relationship, intimacy and identity concerns. Sessions can be conducted in English or Polish.
Krystyna offers both short-term, solution-focused work of up to twelve sessions and longer open-ended counselling. She aims to build a clear professional relationship underpinned by firm boundaries. In conversation she helps clients trace how past events affect current feelings and behaviours.
Her way of working is collaborative. She helps people identify what is driving their symptoms and chooses approaches that fit the issue and the person. That can include practical strategies for managing anxiety, problem-solving around career or study, and techniques to support sleep and daily routine.
Krystyna uses a mixture of approaches, including client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotion-focused ideas. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing where these suit the goals set in sessions. This mix is applied with attention to pacing and readiness for change.
People who reach out often want help with grief, addiction, ADHD, parenting strain, or struggles with self-esteem and bipolar mood management. Krystyna encourages clients to set the pace of work and focuses on concrete steps that can be used between sessions.
Sessions are delivered from the UK and are conducted in English or Polish. International clients are not accepted, and practical arrangements for session format should be confirmed before booking.
How Krystyna uses therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. It helps people who need a space to clarify feelings and make decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies for reducing anxiety, improving sleep and managing mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on recognising and shifting emotional patterns that get in the way of close relationships and self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Krystyna will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and can change as clients learn more about what helps them most.
Specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. The biography indicates sessions are offered online and by phone, so check the current options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and daily life, and phone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when lower bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these approaches effectively in remote work, and Krystyna adapts techniques so practical skills and coping steps can be used between sessions.
