About Katarzyna
Katarzyna Klimek is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and three years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about low mood, stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. She speaks English and Polish and works with people both in the United Kingdom and internationally.
In sessions she focuses on practical, everyday steps as well as listening carefully to each person's story.
Background and approach
She helps clients untangle attachment and communication patterns that can make relationships feel strained. She also supports people managing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges around intimacy and sexual wellbeing. Katarzyna pays attention to the effects of life changes such as separation, fertility issues, immigration, or midlife transitions.
She also addresses financial stress, caregiver burden and the guilt or shame that can follow major life events. She frames these topics in plain language and offers tools for coping and decision making. Her approach blends talking therapy with practical coaching to help people build skills that fit their daily life.
Parents looking for support around parenting challenges can expect focused discussions and realistic strategies they can try between sessions. She encourages small, manageable changes rather than overwhelming plans. Starting therapy can feel daunting, and Katarzyna aims to make the first steps straightforward.
She listens without rushing, helps set clear goals, and adapts sessions to each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building new skills. One common approach is attachment-informed work, which looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change unhelpful interaction habits. Another is practical coaching-style therapy, which breaks problems into steps and develops clear strategies for stress management, sleep, eating and parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree goals and try methods that suit the person's needs and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions remain relevant and workable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or when written reflection is preferred. These options let people access support from different locations and choose formats that match their routines and energy levels.
