Aneta Kolodziejska , BACP

Aneta Kolodziejska recognises that there are times when life can feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to manage. Many people arrive carrying feelings of anxiety, sadness, guilt, stress, or self-doubt that seem too heavy to handle alone. She also works with those who are grieving a loss and who may be struggling with unresolved feelings or the weight of unspoken words.

In her practice, Aneta offers a calm, non-judgmental space where individuals can focus on their emotions, challenges, and the changes they want to make. Therapy with her is collaborative and tailored to each person’s pace, with an emphasis on helping people feel more composed, in control, and able to manage everyday pressures.

As a fully qualified counsellor registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Aneta draws on an integrative approach that combines person-centred, psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques. She uses this blend of methods to make sense of what is happening in a person’s life and to identify practical ways to feel better.

CBT in her work focuses on the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, helping to shift unhelpful thinking patterns that can influence mood and daily functioning. This approach can be particularly useful for anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, excessive worry, stress-related sleep problems, and difficulties with emotional regulation.

Aneta aims to help people recognise unhelpful patterns such as overthinking or self-criticism, develop practical strategies to manage stress and anxiety, process grief, and build a kinder relationship with themselves. She supports exploration of anger and communication so feelings can be expressed in healthier ways. Change can be challenging, but Aneta works gently and supportively alongside each person as they take steps toward more balanced, meaningful living.

Integrative approaches for online support and change

Client-Centered Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. In this approach Aneta listens deeply, offers empathy, and helps people explore their feelings so they can better understand themselves and make choices that align with their values - it is often helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Aneta uses CBT to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns, teach practical coping strategies, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and overwhelming worry.

Psychodynamic elements support exploration of how past experiences and relationships influence present patterns. This can be useful for people who want to understand deeper emotional themes, attachment issues, or recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Aneta works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client decide together which techniques feel most helpful and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during changes, and access support from licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit individual schedules and comfort levels.
