Aneta Kolodziejska, BACP

Aneta Kolodziejska is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way and blends different approaches to suit each person. She uses elements of Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of their feelings. She speaks English and Polish and works from the United Kingdom. Aneta is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Many people come with stress, anxiety or low mood. Others bring worries about parenting, relationships, grief or feeling isolated. In sessions she helps people notice patterns such as overthinking, self-criticism and avoidance. The aim is to find clearer ways of coping and to reduce the burden of daily worry.

Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. Conversations explore thoughts, feelings and actions and look for simple changes that ease distress. CBT techniques can help reframe unhelpful thinking and build practical skills for sleep, anxiety and stress. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover repeated patterns from past experiences that still affect current life.

Aneta also addresses issues like addictions, compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns and career stress. She offers time to process grief and to consider life purpose when things feel empty or stuck. Work with carers and those facing caregiver stress is included among her focus areas.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to the person. Aneta aims to help clients build kinder self-talk, steadier emotional control and clearer communication with others. Practical tools and reflective space are combined so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

How these approaches guide online therapeutic work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what the client finds most important. It helps people feel heard and understood, which can reduce isolation and make it easier to try new ways of coping.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking, manage anxiety and improve sleep or mood through small, achievable steps.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. This can help someone see why certain responses keep happening and begin to change long-standing emotional habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried and reviewed to see what fits best for each person.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and let people use tools or worksheets between meetings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when full sessions are not needed, or sessions without video if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
