Krystyna Jankowska, BACP

Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who supports people recovering from traumatic life events to reduce fear and build more satisfying, contented lives. She works in both English and Polish and is comfortable conducting therapy in either language. Krystyna holds BACP as a professional credential - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and completed her degree at the Greenwich University in London. Her practice addresses a wide range of difficulties including trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, addictions, parenting challenges, ADHD and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

Krystyna offers both focused short-term work of up to twelve sessions and open-ended counselling that proceeds at a pace determined by the client. In sessions she aims to build a strong professional relationship grounded in clear boundaries and mutual respect, collaborating with clients to explore the roots of symptoms and their effects on daily life. That shared understanding guides the selection of practical strategies and therapeutic approaches to help manage and potentially alleviate symptoms. Recovery is approached as a partnership - clients set the pace and Krystyna provides support as they move forward. She currently provides sessions via a secure online platform and by phone, allowing people to work from the comfort of their own home.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Krystyna Jankowska

Krystyna uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective, listening carefully and supporting each person to find their own solutions. This approach emphasizes empathy and respect and can be useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and navigating life changes.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, sleeping problems, and mood concerns that benefit from structured, skill-based work.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another part of her practice when relationship dynamics and attachment patterns are central. EFT focuses on emotional experiences and patterns between partners or family members and aims to deepen emotional connection and understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Krystyna collaborates with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Krystyna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
