Patrycja Czyszczon, BACP

Patrycja Czyszczon is a compassionate counsellor and CBT practitioner based in the United Kingdom who works with adults across a range of life challenges. With three years of professional experience, she blends person-centred warmth with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help people manage anxiety, low mood, stress, grief and relationship or family concerns. Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - she maintains ongoing professional development and holds accredited Level 5 diplomas in both Therapeutic Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Patrycja began her counselling journey volunteering with Age UK and continues to offer community support through Trafford Carers, where she has supported people facing bereavement, caregiver stress and other demanding circumstances. In private practice she works with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and addresses issues including self-esteem, sleep difficulties, career and life transitions, panic and body image concerns. Her approach favours collaboration rather than instruction, helping clients explore their values and choices while building practical coping skills.

Sessions are delivered in English only, and Patrycja is experienced in online and telephone counselling methods. She aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental atmosphere that encourages self-exploration and gradual change, adapting pacing and focus to each individual’s needs and goals.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work

Patrycja integrates client-centred therapy to provide a supportive, empathetic space where the person’s own goals guide the work - this approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions and emotional processing by valuing the client’s perspective and pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, panic and stress, offering tools that can be practised between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy is sometimes employed to highlight strengths and short-term goals, which can be useful when clients want to make immediate, practical changes or cope with specific problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrycja works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and manageable. Clients are invited to discuss what feels most helpful and to shape the focus of therapy together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options allow registered professionals to maintain continuity of care, respond to changing needs, and provide consistent therapeutic support in ways that suit each client.
