Krystyna Jankowska, Dip.psych.couns, (MBACP) - 'YOUR COUNSELLING PATH'

Hi, thanks for stopping by.

I know how scary it can be asking for help. I am here to answer any questions you might have about counselling, to discuss any worries and to talk you through the process. Maybe you are unsure if counselling is for you or maybe you would like some reassurance - 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 a fully 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; including depression, anxiety, self-harm, anger issues and chronic stress to break free and re-build their lives.

My approach

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.

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.

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 am fully committed to supporting you along your own counselling path.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and strictly adhere to their professional standards.

I currently offer sessions via a secure online platform and by phone – depending on your preference. I am fluent in English and Polish and I am confident working in either language.
