Aneta Kolodziejska, BACP

Aneta Kolodziejska welcomes visitors to her profile and acknowledges how overwhelming life can feel when emotions, responsibilities, or loss become difficult to manage. She recognises that people arrive in therapy carrying a range of experiences - anxiety, sadness, guilt, stress, or persistent self-doubt - and offers a compassionate space to explore those concerns without judgement.

Aneta works in a collaborative way that centers on the individual. She aims to help clients make sense of what is happening in their lives and to identify practical steps that lead to greater calm and control. As an integrative counsellor she combines person-centred listening with psychodynamic insight and cognitive behavioural techniques, tailoring her approach to each person’s needs. She is registered with the BACP - a professional counselling body - which informs her commitment to professional standards.

In sessions she often supports people to recognise unhelpful patterns such as overthinking or self-criticism, and to develop tools for managing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and emotional overwhelm. She also offers space to process grief and to work gently on rebuilding self-esteem and healthier ways of relating to others.

Aneta emphasises gradual, steady change at a pace that feels manageable. Her work aims to restore a sense of agency and hope so clients can move forward with clearer perspective and practical coping strategies.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-centred therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. It involves active, empathic listening and supports people to explore feelings and values so they can move toward choices that feel more authentic and satisfying. This approach is often helpful for improving self-esteem, processing life changes, and rebuilding trust in oneself.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and manage stress or sleep problems. Sessions can include exercises and tools that clients use between meetings to reinforce change.

Psychodynamic work explores how past experiences and relational patterns influence present feelings and behaviours. This approach can illuminate recurring difficulties in relationships, attachment issues, and deep-seated emotional responses, offering insight that supports longer term change.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from different locations.
