About Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety after trauma and those adjusting to major life changes. She speaks English and Polish and aims to make sessions straightforward and readable for worried parents and busy adults. Krystyna uses short-term plans when helpful, or a more open-ended pace if that suits the person's needs.
She explains what is happening, and works alongside people as they choose the pace of change.
How Krystyna works
Her work focuses on reducing fear and building steadier day-to-day coping. Sessions emphasise clear discussion of what causes problems and small steps to change unhelpful patterns. Krystyna brings four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She draws on a mix of talking and practical tools. Cognitive techniques help notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness methods encourage gentler attention to feelings and bodily signs.
Emotionally focused ideas support understanding close relationships and how they affect mood. Krystyna can offer brief, solution-focused plans of up to twelve sessions for a specific issue. She also provides longer-term counselling for people who want more time to explore deeper concerns.
Throughout, she aims for clear boundaries and a steady professional relationship that lets people feel safe to try new ways of coping. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She works from the United Kingdom and is able to hold sessions in both English and Polish.

How Krystyna’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the client so they feel understood. It helps when someone simply needs a non-judgemental space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns and practising small changes that reduce anxiety, low mood and stress. It is useful for worry, sleep problems and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Krystyna will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That might mean starting with short-term CBT tasks, using mindfulness practices between sessions, or taking a gentler client-centred route depending on how someone responds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face contact when discussion and tone matter. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in or fit counselling into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and other commitments.
