About Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who focuses on helping parents and individuals manage stress, anxiety and the impact of traumatic events. She speaks English and Polish and offers therapy in both languages. Her aim is to help people reduce symptoms that feel overwhelming and find clearer ways to move forward.
She works with people who prefer either short-term, solution-focused work of up to twelve sessions, or longer open-ended counselling paced to the client’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasise a trustworthy professional relationship with clear boundaries. That relationship becomes the place to talk through what has been happening and how it affects daily life. Krystyna uses methods that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes.
She draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused tools, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. These approaches are used to address anxiety, grief, depression, parenting stress and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her background includes a degree completed at the University of Greenwich in London, and four years of practice experience.
She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered by video call or phone, as well as through live chat and text-based messaging. People can choose the format that fits their routine and needs, and Krystyna will work alongside them to plan the pace and focus of sessions.

How these approaches shape online therapy
Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the therapist listening carefully and following the client’s lead. This helps people feel heard and decide which issues to focus on first.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and practical coping when stress is high.
Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name feelings and then work through the patterns that affect relationships and intimacy. It is useful when emotions feel intense or repeating cycles cause strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the method based on what a person needs and prefers. That decision is made together, with the client guiding the pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction while phone sessions use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work routines.
