About Aneta
Aneta Kolodziejska is a BACP registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes, and also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.
She focuses on helping people make sense of what feels overwhelming. In conversations she explores thoughts and feelings, and looks for practical ways to reduce worry and manage strong emotions. Short-term strategies and longer reflections are both used, depending on what feels most helpful.
Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, and psychodynamic ideas. CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. Psychodynamic ideas help look at recurring themes that may come from past relationships and life events.
Typical work includes learning tools to lower stress, managing anxiety, and addressing sleep or overthinking problems. She also offers support for grief, coping after loss, and rebuilding self-esteem. Practical exercises are combined with discussion to try new ways of responding to old patterns.
People who choose her often want clear steps they can use between sessions and a chance to talk through confusing feelings. She asks about goals and what would feel different, then adapts sessions to those aims. To start, clients follow the service sign-up and arrange a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, helping them feel understood and clear about their goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce worry, improve sleep and manage stress. Psychodynamic work explores patterns that repeat across relationships and life events to increase self-understanding and change unhelpful cycles.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped or not helped before, and make choices together about which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can change as things progress.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around busy days and cutting travel time so sessions are easier to reach. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or longer sessions when more time is helpful. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, thought records and reflective conversation to an online setting so techniques from CBT and psychodynamic reflection remain usable during remote sessions.
