Practical, bilingual counselling for life changes
About Krystyna
Krystyna Jankowska offers straightforward, approachable counselling for people facing anxiety after trauma, low mood, and major life changes. She speaks English and Polish and meets clients online or by phone. Krystyna keeps sessions focused and practical so people can notice small changes early on.
She uses short-term, solution-focused work when that fits, or longer open-ended counselling if someone prefers to take more time. In sessions she aims to build a clear professional relationship with firm boundaries and mutual respect.

Approaches that work well online and in conversation
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead and helps them make sense of feelings and choices, which can aid work on anxiety, grief or low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives simple, practical tools for noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours, which often helps with anxiety, sleep problems and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify patterns in their relationships and in how they respond to strong feelings, which can clarify issues around intimacy and attachment.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then suggest a way forward. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want flexible, brief contacts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
