About Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people recover after traumatic life events. She speaks English and Polish and can hold sessions in either language. Her style aims to reduce anxiety and help clients build more contented lives at a pace that suits them.
She trained at Greenwich University in London and holds BACP accreditation. That background informs a mix of short-term and longer-term work. Some people choose up to twelve focused sessions while others prefer open-ended counselling paced to their readiness for change.
In sessions she prioritises a clear, professional relationship with firm boundaries. She works with clients to identify patterns, trace the roots of distress, and understand how symptoms affect daily life. That shared understanding then guides practical choices about what to try next.
Her approach draws on a variety of methods, including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools, emotionally focused ways of understanding feelings, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to address issues such as trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, and career stress.
Krystyna describes recovery as a collaborative process. Clients set the pace and decide when to move on. She currently offers sessions online and by phone and asks people to confirm session options when they book.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The counsellor offers an accepting, non-judgemental presence that helps you make sense of feelings and decide what matters most to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected and teaches practical techniques to reduce symptoms like anxiety and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to match methods to your goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as you progress. That means experimenting with different tools and agreeing together which ones to keep using.
The profile indicates sessions are available online and by phone, but please confirm specific formats when booking. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, cut out travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will discuss session length and pacing so therapy fits with daily routines rather than disrupting them.
