Krystyna Jankowska

Krystyna Jankowska is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people deal with anger, trauma and anxiety. She speaks English and Polish and can carry out sessions in either language. Her work aims to help people move from feeling stuck to making steady changes at their own pace.

She trained at the University of Greenwich and holds BACP registration. Krystyna offers both short-term, solution-focused work of up to twelve sessions and open-ended counselling where the pace is set by the client. In sessions she focuses on building a professional relationship based on trust and clear boundaries.

Krystyna uses a mix of practical approaches. She draws on client-centred techniques to follow each person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Emotionally-focused ideas help identify and work with deeper feelings that fuel reactions such as anger.

Sessions typically begin by looking at the roots of the presenting issues and how these affect day-to-day life. Together they choose approaches that match the client’s goals. Krystyna emphasises gentle progress and shared decision making so people feel able to try new ways of coping.

She is experienced in a wide range of concerns including grief, addictions, relationship issues, parenting strains, sleep problems, bipolar and depression, and work-related stress. People who want to work in English or Polish can discuss which language feels most comfortable for them.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. The therapist creates space for someone to describe what matters most and then supports them to choose next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to reduce unhelpful reactions and manage symptoms such as anxiety or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. This means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and pacing work so it feels manageable.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be run. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by avoiding travel or by allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Phone sessions can suit situations where lower bandwidth or less screen time is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions to keep therapy practical and focused.
