About Patrycja
Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience, Patrycja Czyszczon works with people in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self‑esteem and relationship concerns. She offers one-to-one counselling that aims to help people cope with life changes and everyday pressures.
Patrycja uses a client-centred approach as the foundation of her work. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person attending and aim to make them feel heard without judgement. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, helping people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical strategies to manage symptoms like panic, low mood or sleep problems.
Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, manageable steps towards clearer goals. These techniques suit people looking for brief, goal-orientated support alongside more open exploration of feelings. Patrycja has experience supporting people facing caregiver stress, family of origin issues, body image concerns and multicultural pressures.
Her background includes voluntary roles with Age UK and Trafford Carers where she supported people with bereavement, grief, anxiety and depression. She brings that experience into private practice work with adults from varied cultural backgrounds.
Patrycja holds a Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and she is a registered member of the BACP. She regularly takes continuing professional development workshops to refresh and extend her counselling skills.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Patrycja combines client-centred work with practical cognitive behavioural techniques to support people dealing with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify their feelings and decide what to work on next.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple strategies to reduce panic, manage negative thinking and improve sleep. Solution-focused methods concentrate on small, concrete steps and what is already working, which can suit those wanting shorter-term, goal-orientated work.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrycja will discuss options with each person and agree which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. She treats the choice of techniques as something to review and adapt as work progresses.
If you are considering online counselling, check the session formats before booking to confirm what is currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements and session length when you schedule your first meeting so the sessions fit your routine.
