About Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor who focuses on helping people overcome anxiety and phobias after traumatic events. She speaks English and Polish and offers short-term work or longer open-ended counselling depending on what the person needs. Sessions are paced to match readiness for change and personal goals.
Krystyna aims to build a professional relationship based on clear boundaries and trust. She listens to the story behind symptoms and helps people understand how those patterns affect daily life.
Background and approach
That greater understanding is used to choose practical ways forward. Her background includes a degree from the University of Greenwich in London and four years of clinical experience. The profile lists BACP, which indicates British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership as supplied in her credentials.
In sessions she blends straightforward talking, skill-building, and reflective work. This may include learning ways to manage anxiety, working through grief and loss, or addressing stress and relationship concerns. Krystyna also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep difficulties, and issues around self-esteem.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Practical matters such as scheduling and pace are negotiated together, and the person decides how quickly to work towards change.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy is about creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and topics. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make choices from their own experience.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical strategies for reducing anxiety and tackling phobias by testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural steps.
Krystyna treats finding the right way to work as a collaborative process. She will talk through different approaches and together you will decide what fits your goals, symptoms and preferences. That means trying methods and checking in to see what helps most.
Online therapy gives flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simple check-in during a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections, real-time problem solving, or people who prefer writing over speaking.
These options make it easier to keep regular sessions, practise new skills between meetings, and adjust the format if life or work needs change.
