Patrycja Czyszczon , BACP

Patrycja Czyszczon is a compassionate counsellor who creates a warm, non-judgemental space for adults to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She combines a person-centred way of working with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help people build resilience, reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop strategies for everyday challenges.

Her approach emphasises empathy and respect rather than direction, supporting clients to uncover their own answers and take ownership of change. She works collaboratively, balancing emotional understanding with actionable tools so clients feel heard and equipped to move forward. Common areas of focus include anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, relationship and family difficulties, sleep problems, self-esteem, anger, career concerns, and life transitions.

Patrycja began her counselling journey volunteering with Age UK, supporting middle-aged and older adults through grief, bereavement, stress, anxiety, and depression, and she also volunteers with Trafford Carers to assist family carers facing demanding circumstances. In private practice she sees adults from diverse cultural backgrounds and adapts her work to each person’s needs.

She holds a Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, alongside Level 3 and Level 2 counselling qualifications and training in online and telephone counselling. Patrycja is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), takes part in ongoing professional development, and maintains insurance and DBS checks to support her practice. While she is fluent in English and Polish, she offers counselling sessions exclusively in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Patrycja integrates person-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support clients in online settings. Person-centred therapy focuses on creating warmth, empathy, and acceptance so individuals can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions; it is helpful for issues like low mood, grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, offering practical tools for anxiety, panic, anger, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Patrycja works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions evolve from a shared exploration of what helps most, allowing techniques and priorities to be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy with Patrycja is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without the need to travel, helping people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
