About Agnieszka
Counsellor Agnieszka 'Anna' Chmura is a BACP member with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship or family strains. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.
Anna helps people talk through practical problems and emotional pain. She listens for what is already working in a person's life and builds on those strengths. Conversations focus on immediate worries like sleep or eating changes, and on everyday pressures such as work or parenting.
Her approach aims to be straightforward and useful. Anna supports conversations about intimacy, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also works with people who are managing ADHD related challenges and career concerns.
Anna values collaboration in sessions. She encourages people to set small, clear goals and to try out different ways of handling problems between meetings. Progress is checked in simple steps so adjustments can be made if needed.
People can expect practical conversation, problem-solving and attention to current stresses. Her style is conversational rather than overly technical. For those who prefer a Polish speaker, she can work in Polish as well as English.
Therapeutic approaches and working by video or phone
Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and resolving current problems. One common approach works on behaviour and routines - it looks at everyday habits such as sleep, eating and activity, and makes concrete small changes to improve mood and energy. Another approach examines thoughts and feelings and helps people test unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce anxiety and low mood when practised regularly.She treats the choice of approach as a joint decision. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that suit the person, and review what helps. This means the plan can be adjusted over time to better match needs and preferences.
If you are considering remote sessions, check the current formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. Phone sessions can work when video is difficult, and video sessions let you keep visual contact. Confirm which formats are offered when you arrange your first session.
