Do you feel ready to combat a particular problem but you are unsure how to go about it?

I am here to help - just call me - we can discuss it together beforehand (this consultation is free of charge, so nothing to lose, and no obligations to continue).

You might wonder, if you can trust my expertise and abilities as a psychotherapist.

Please see reviews kindly written by other clients I treated:

Written by R.A. on May 11 2022 after therapy with myself for 3 weeks concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

'Krystyna is a wonderful therapist - compassionate, patient, personable, incredibly easy to talk to & very insightful. I felt I was really being listen to & that Krystyna really 'got' me and that we had a genuine rapport. After a month of working with Krystyna on overwhelming feelings of anxiety I have a much better understanding of where these feelings have been stemming from & and a clear path ahead of how to move forward. Thank you Krystyna, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.'

Written by M.O. on May 20, 2022 after therapy with myself for a 1 month on issues concerning relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and intimacy -related issues.

'Krystyna is an excellent therapist. I opened up to her about things I never told anyone. Her insightfulness creates a comfortable and safe environment. She always says kind tings. Krystyna makes you to feel understood and finds source of the issue quicker than other therapist what makes you feel that money was well spent and you didn't waste your time. I'd recommend Krystyna to anyone I know.'

You maybe you are unsure if counselling is for you or maybe you would like some reassurance. I am here to answer any questions you might have about counselling, to discuss any worries and to talk you through the process.

No difficulty is too big or too small to bring here. From my experience, we sometimes need other people to help us, maybe just at the beginning or maybe throughout the journey, especially if we feel lonely or isolated. I am fully committed to supporting you along your own counselling path.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist.

I work effectively in a short-term solution-based therapy (up to twelve sessions) or open-ended counselling, whereby the sessions are paced in line with your needs and readiness to embrace positive change. Since 2010, I have helped many clients struggling with addictions and a variety of mental health problems; depression, anxiety, self-harm, anger issues, chronic stress to break free and re-build lives.

During counselling sessions, I look to form a strong professional relationship with you; based on mutual trust and firm boundaries – to keep us both safe and to optimise the sessions effectiveness.

We would work together to understand the roots of your symptoms and their impact in your life. This new awareness will help us to choose a suitable approach for you moving forward, to better manage or even fully relieve your symptoms.

Am I ready?

Recovery is only possible with your permission – when you are ready to safely let go of the symptoms and work your way out towards freedom - you chose the pace.

I offer a free telephone session, so there is nothing to lose by giving me a call. I am warm, kind and compassionate, I will listen to your story without judgement.

How many sessions do I need?

Depending upon the issues, you may be able to achieve good outcomes through short term work, however you may need to commit to longer term work to achieve positive results – as the root causes may be more complex.

In this case I offer the open ended therapy where we can take more time to explore and validate important life events - like a childhood trauma, which may have introduced the symptoms at the first place. In this way we can achieve deeper insight and work towards healing.

I currently offer sessions via a secure online platform and by phone – depending on your preference. Sessions fees can be negotiable, please get in touch to discuss.
