About Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people manage anxiety, trauma and everyday habits that get in the way of a more content life. She works in English and Polish and offers a pace that suits each person. She can work in short-term, solution-focused blocks or with open-ended counselling depending on the person's needs.
In sessions Krystyna aims to build a professional relationship based on trust and clear boundaries. She and the client look together at what lies behind symptoms such as anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. That understanding is used to choose practical ways to change thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred ideas to keep the person’s experience central. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at strong feelings and how they affect relationships. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are used when helpful to support coping and motivation.
Krystyna trained at the University of Greenwich and holds BACP registration. She has four years of practice experience working with issues such as grief, addictions, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related problems, mood differences including bipolar and depression, ADHD and career or life-change stresses.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Krystyna does not take international clients and offers appointments in the United Kingdom. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and session times are scheduled according to availability.

How Krystyna uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to make sessions feel respectful and non-judgemental. It helps people name what matters most and decide on the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical tasks to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, sleep issues and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand strong emotions and how they show up in relationships or personal reactions, which can be useful when grief, intimacy or anger are present.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Krystyna will work with the person to match methods to their goals, current needs and what feels manageable. The method can change as progress is made or as new issues come up.
The biography notes online sessions and phone work are offered depending on preference. If you want to know the precise session formats offered now, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it straightforward to keep continuity of care if relocating within the United Kingdom.
