About Joanna
Joanna Bienkowska is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years of professional and placement experience in the UK. She works with adults who want to manage stress, anger, anxiety, relationship strain and other everyday problems. Sessions are available in English and Polish and Joanna accepts international clients.
Joanna uses clear, practical conversations to help people identify patterns that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to build new coping steps. That can mean short exercises between sessions, trying different ways to respond, and checking what works in day-to-day life.
People often come for help with sleep, low mood, grief, addictions or career worries. Joanna also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress. She talks through communication problems, control issues and feelings like guilt, shame or isolation.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location. To begin, clients select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Joanna aims to plan practical next steps and to adjust them as progress is reviewed.
Her style is straightforward and focused on what to try next rather than long explanations. Conversations are offered in English and Polish, and international clients are welcomed.
How CBT fits into online sessions
Joanna works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. CBT offers structured exercises and practical steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood or anger by changing what people do and how they think.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanna will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which techniques to try. That collaborative process means plans may change as progress is reviewed and new challenges arise.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a session without travel time. It can also allow for regular weekly sessions that link directly to day-to-day problems, and for straightforward sharing of worksheets and exercises between meetings.
