About Krystyna

Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people move past trauma, anxiety and life changes so they can feel more content. She speaks English and Polish and can carry out sessions in either language. Krystyna offers both short-term, solution-focused work and longer open-ended counselling, letting clients choose the pace that suits them.

She builds a professional relationship grounded in trust and clear boundaries. In sessions she helps people understand where their symptoms come from and how those patterns affect daily life. That clearer picture guides which approaches to use next.

Krystyna trained at the University of Greenwich and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. She has four years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, anger, stress, anxiety, addictions and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar disorder.

She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, sleep problems, self-esteem difficulties and career transitions. Additional focuses include neurodiversity, attachment and body image concerns among others.

Sessions are offered via an online platform and by phone according to the biography. If you prefer to start, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Krystyna uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client name their feelings and choices, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems and mood difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions and address patterns in close relationships, which can be useful for intimacy and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Krystyna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can involve trying a short focused block of sessions or a longer open-ended plan, based on what feels most helpful.

The biography states she offers sessions via an online platform and by phone. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what format you will use. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins during work breaks and remove travel time. They also let people choose whether to use video or voice depending on bandwidth or comfort rather than needing to attend in person.
