Patrycja Czyszczon, BACP

Patrycja Czyszczon is a counsellor who combines client-centred care with practical tools to support people through stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She works in English and brings three years of experience to each session. Patrycja aims to listen with empathy and help people feel understood as they talk through difficult feelings.

She uses a person-centred approach to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients set the pace. Alongside that, she draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop straightforward coping strategies. Solution-focused ideas are also used to set small, achievable goals and notice what is already working.

Patrycja has worked with adults from diverse cultural backgrounds and has volunteering experience supporting carers and older adults coping with grief, loss and stress. That background informs how she supports people balancing caring roles and other life demands. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

Her training includes Level 5 diplomas in both Therapeutic Counselling and CBT, plus foundational counselling certificates. She continues to attend CPD workshops and maintains professional insurance and DBS checks. Patrycja asks clients to choose session frequency that fits their needs and life circumstances.

For people looking for help with family stress, low mood, panic or self-esteem, she offers empathetic listening combined with practical steps. To begin, visitors are invited to complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Patrycja works from a client-centred base, which means sessions begin with listening and following the client's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what they want to work on next.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical coping steps. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, panic and sleep problems by breaking issues into manageable parts and testing new behaviours.

Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, realistic goals and noticing progress. It can be useful when someone wants short-term practical changes or clearer steps to improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Patrycja will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time. Online or telephone options can make it easier to schedule a short check-in during a lunch break or allow a quieter conversation when someone cannot attend in person.
