About Krystyna

Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people facing anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of emotional and life challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.

Krystyna uses both short-term solution work and longer open-ended counselling, depending on what a person needs. She aims to build a clear professional relationship with firm boundaries, and to explore how symptoms started and how they affect everyday life. That understanding helps shape the choice of practical techniques and the pace of work.

Her clinical approaches include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods, with mindfulness and motivational interviewing also informing sessions. In practice this means talking through thoughts and reactions, trying out small changes, and noticing how feelings show up in the body.

Krystyna describes offering up to twelve sessions for focused work, or ongoing sessions paced to a client's readiness. She is BACP accredited, and she trained at the University of Greenwich in London.

She mentions running sessions in either English or Polish. International clients are not accepted; her practice is UK based. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and practical details.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and aims to build a clear working relationship. In online work this looks like open conversation, active listening and setting boundaries about session length and focus. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes. Online sessions can include practical exercises to do between meetings and straightforward tools to track progress. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) looks at how feelings and attachment patterns affect relationships and self-view. In remote sessions, this often involves guided reflection and exercises to notice and name emotions. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, watch how you respond to different techniques, and suggest options together so you can agree what feels most useful. Confirm the exact session formats before booking. The profile notes that Krystyna offers sessions via an online platform and by phone, so check which format suits your routine. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support follow-up tasks between meetings.
