About Krystyna

Krystyna Dabrowa is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also lists support for LGBT concerns, grief and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and take place in the United Kingdom.

Krystyna uses a client-centred way of working. She listens and lets people lead the pace of their talk. In practice that means conversations focus on what matters most to the person and the counsellor reflects and responds rather than directing the process.

Her background includes helping people manage motivation and confidence issues, and to make practical changes during difficult transitions. She describes experience with a wide range of concerns such as attachment and communication problems, codependency, body image and problems linked to infidelity or domestic violence.

Sessions aim to give time to name difficult feelings and to look at small steps that feel possible. Krystyna often helps people notice patterns - for example around avoidance, control or commitment - and then try different ways of coping in everyday life.

People who prefer to talk in Polish can do so. The approach is conversational and paced to what the individual finds manageable. To begin, the site’s booking flow is used to match and schedule a first session via the online options offered.

Client-Centred approach and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own perspective. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s priorities. This approach helps with issues that need time to be understood, such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship patterns and reactions to trauma.

Working online with a client-centred counsellor means the early sessions focus on finding what feels most useful. The therapist and client decide together which ways of working suit the person’s goals and preferences. That may include a slower pace, shorter check-ins, or more frequent sessions for a while; the choice is collaborative.

Confirm the exact session formats when you book, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a brief check-in during a work break. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video, or who need a shorter call rather than a longer meeting. Registered or accredited professionals will help match the format to each person’s practical needs and aims.
