About Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people affected by traumatic life events find steadier ground. She offers short-term, solution-focused work and longer open-ended counselling, depending on what each person needs. Sessions are available in English and Polish, and she practices from the United Kingdom.
Krystyna takes a practical, relational approach in sessions. She aims to build a dependable therapeutic relationship with clear boundaries. Together with the client she looks at what lies behind symptoms such as anxiety, sleep problems or low mood, and then chooses ways to reduce their impact.
Background and approach
Her work draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices may be used to manage stress, addictive impulses and unhelpful thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when intimacy or relationship patterns are central to a person’s concerns.
Krystyna has four years’ clinical experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She describes her practice as collaborative, pacing sessions to match readiness for change and the goals the client sets.
People bring many kinds of problems to her work, including grief, anger, career changes, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression and issues related to sexuality and intimacy. She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress or body-image concerns. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Getting started begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits you.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people look at the effects of traumatic events in a paced way. The focus is on reducing symptoms and building skills to cope with triggers and overwhelming memories. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of every session and relies on empathic listening to help someone make sense of what matters most.Krystyna will work with you to find the best fit from these approaches. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process that takes into account your goals, preferences and how you react in early sessions. She adapts pace and techniques so the work feels manageable while moving towards clearer daily functioning.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls let you see facial cues and use visual exercises. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to schedule during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when writing helps you reflect. These options make it easier to keep therapy steady around work, family and travel commitments.
