Aneta Kolodziejska, BACP

Aneta Kolodziejska is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed. She greets each person with a straightforward, non-judgemental approach and helps them make sense of what’s causing stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. Sessions focus on the person’s immediate needs and the changes they want to make in their life.

She draws on person-centred work to make sessions feel approachable and collaborative. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build practical tools for everyday life. Psychodynamic ideas can also be used to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Common themes Aneta helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and jealousy. She also supports people navigating parenting concerns, career uncertainty, caregiving strain, immigration-related stress, and ageing or geriatric worries. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control over daily life.

Her style is steady and adaptable. Sessions combine talking, reflection and practical strategies such as reframing thoughts and small behavioural steps. For grief and loss there is space to work through feelings at a gentle pace. For anxiety and stress the focus often shifts to tools that can be used between sessions.

With three years of clinical experience, Aneta works to help people reconnect with their strengths. If someone wants to understand why they feel stuck and learn ways to move forward, she offers a clear, compassionate way to do that.

How different approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person's own priorities guide the work. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to make changes at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical exercises and small steps to reduce anxiety, manage low mood or change unhelpful habits.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and time, helping people notice how past experiences influence present-day feelings and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will work together with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences and how they respond in sessions. This collaborative focus means the plan can change as work progresses.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the original profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about available session options so arrangements match everyday routines and personal needs.
