Patrycja Czyszczon , BACP

Patrycja Czyszczon is a warm and attentive counsellor who blends empathetic listening with practical therapeutic techniques to support adults through life’s difficulties. She creates a calm, non-judgemental environment where clients are encouraged to explore their feelings at a comfortable pace and gradually build insight and resilience.

Trained in both person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy, Patrycja combines wholehearted understanding with evidence-informed tools to help manage negative thinking, improve mood, and address specific challenges such as anxiety, low mood, stress, and life transitions. Rather than directing choices, she works alongside clients to support self-exploration and personal growth, aiming to foster greater confidence and emotional wellbeing.

Her counselling journey began in voluntary roles with Age UK and continued with Trafford Carers, where she supported people facing grief, caregiving stress, and other demanding life circumstances. In private practice she sees adults from diverse cultural backgrounds and keeps her skills current through regular continuing professional development.

Patrycja holds Level 5 diplomas in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Therapeutic Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which indicates professional membership with the UK’s counselling body. Although she is fluent in English and Polish, she provides counselling sessions exclusively in English.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Patrycja often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on providing a supportive, empathetic space that helps clients feel heard and understood while they explore their own goals and values. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and a stronger sense of agency.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to offer practical strategies for identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT can be especially helpful for managing anxiety, low mood, panic symptoms, and stress by teaching concrete skills clients can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patrycja works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different approaches as required and supports clients in deciding the pace and focus of their work.

Online therapy with Patrycja is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each individual.
