About Krystyna

Krystyna Jankowska helps people move past traumatic life events, reduce anxiety and manage difficult feelings. She works in English and Polish and offers both short-term work and open-ended counselling. Krystyna is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

She uses a mix of established approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions aim to identify the roots of problems and then try methods that help manage symptoms and improve daily life. Work can be time-limited, up to around twelve sessions, or continue for longer where that suits the client.

In the room she focuses on building a professional relationship with clear boundaries. That relationship shapes which techniques are chosen and how quickly work progresses. Practical strategies and reflective conversation are combined to address things like anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep difficulties.

Krystyna also supports people with relationship, intimacy and parenting concerns, as well as issues linked to addiction, grief, ADHD and bipolar mood difficulties. She lists additional focus areas including attachment, body image, chronic illness and carer stress, and matters related to kink and alternative sex culture.

She trained at the University of Greenwich in London and uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions are offered in the United Kingdom context and are conducted in English or Polish.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Krystyna works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce worry and low mood. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on the counsellor-client relationship and on listening in a way that helps people reflect and find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to look at emotions in relationships and to support clearer emotional communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Krystyna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Her profile notes that sessions are available via an online platform and by phone, so online work can help fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. Phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or times when video would be difficult, while platform sessions allow face-to-face conversation when preferred. Confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they match practical needs and routines.
