Joanna Klekotko, BACP

Joanna Klekotko is a psychologist and psychotherapist with more than 15 years of experience supporting adults and couples through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She divides her practice between in-person work in London and online sessions, and adapts her interventions to the nature of each person’s difficulties and goals.

As an integrative practitioner, Joanna draws on multiple training traditions to shape a tailored therapeutic path. Her qualifications include person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic approaches, and solution-focused methods. She seeks to connect with clients around their emotions, needs, meanings and values to encourage insight, growth and practical change. Joanna is also registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Joanna has particular experience helping people cope with anxiety disorders, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and addictions, and she works with issues ranging from trauma and attachment to parenting, career transitions and compassion fatigue. She offers both short-term counselling and open-ended psychotherapy, and works with individuals as well as couples.

From the first session she explores the problems you want to address and the ways of working that suit you. Her approach is collaborative and outcome-focused, aiming to build emotional resilience and practical strategies so clients can navigate life changes and find a more satisfying direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Joanna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional regulation; it can be especially useful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, abandonment and parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Joanna works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives and for people who live at a distance. Joanna provides sessions by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication styles and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes and to access registered professionals from wherever the client is located.
