About Krystyna

Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people affected by trauma, anxiety and relationship struggles find steadier ground. She speaks English and Polish, and offers sessions in either language. Her approach aims to reduce fear and restore a sense of purpose and contentment in life.

Krystyna trained at the University of Greenwich and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. She uses both short-term, solution-focused work and longer open-ended counselling, so people can choose a pace that fits their needs. Sessions emphasise a clear, professional relationship with firm boundaries and collaborative goal-setting.

In the counselling room she helps clients trace the roots of symptoms and see how those patterns affect everyday life. That understanding guides which techniques to try next, from practical thinking tools to emotion-focused exercises. She describes recovery as a process clients enter when they feel ready, and she stays alongside them as they make changes.

Krystyna works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, intimacy-related issues and relationship problems. She also lists areas such as parenting, work stress, sleep difficulties and ADHD among her focus areas. This broad experience helps her adapt sessions to each person’s situation.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She aims to create space for honest conversation and gradual change. People interested in starting can use the site’s continue button on this profile and follow the brief matching steps to schedule a first session.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person you are now. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help you make sense of your feelings and decisions, which suits people who need a calm space to be heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses practical exercises and simple homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and name their emotions and how these affect relationships. It can be useful when attachment, intimacy or repeated patterns are causing pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and life context, and together you will choose which methods to try. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.

If you prefer online therapy, confirm the session format options before booking. The biography states she offers sessions via an online platform and by phone, so check which you prefer when scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited.
