How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It gives space for people to set their own goals while the counsellor reflects and supports those choices. This approach helps when someone needs a steady relationship to explore difficult events.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and steps to change unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms such as anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.
Emotionally-focused work concentrates on feelings and how they show up in relationships. It can help people notice and change patterns that keep them stuck, especially with intimacy or attachment worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to meet each person's goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Krystyna currently offers sessions online and by phone, but readers should confirm the available formats before booking. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins, avoiding travel, or choosing audio only when video is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these options to help people access consistent support.
