Krystyna Dabrowa, BACP

Krystyna Dabrowa is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. She speaks English and Polish and works with people in the United Kingdom. Krystyna aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where someone can talk through painful experiences and begin to make changes.

She uses a client-centred approach, so sessions focus on the person's own priorities and pace. Conversations are tailored to the individual and a collaborative plan is developed together. Krystyna encourages practical steps as well as exploring feelings that have become overwhelming.

Her background includes four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience includes supporting people after trauma and abuse, and helping with confidence and self-esteem concerns.

Krystyna also works with issues such as grief, anger, coping with life changes and challenges related to identity, including LGBT concerns. She can assist with relationship difficulties like communication problems, infidelity and commitment issues, and with personal patterns such as codependency or attachment difficulties.

Clients who struggle with body image, hoarding, guilt, shame or control problems may find the sessions useful. Krystyna describes therapy as a partnership and offers steady, respectful support while people take steps towards change.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. The counsellor offers empathic presence, reflects feelings and supports people to find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, grief and struggles around self-esteem.

Krystyna frames sessions around the client's priorities and encourages collaborative planning. Together they will decide which ways of working suit the person's needs and goals, and make changes as understanding grows. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she will help review what is most helpful over time.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family and travel commitments, and can reduce time spent commuting. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that better fits a busy day, or alternatives to video where lower bandwidth or a quieter setting is preferable.
