Patrycja Czyszczon , BACP

Patrycja Czyszczon is a UK-based counsellor and cognitive behavioural practitioner who combines empathic, person-centred care with practical therapeutic tools. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions at a comfortable pace while working toward greater self-awareness and coping skills.

In her practice she integrates Person-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and draws on Solution-Focused techniques to help people manage anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, relationship and family issues, sleep difficulties, and life transitions. Her approach aims to balance emotional support and listening with evidence-informed strategies to address unhelpful thought patterns and build resilience.

Patrycja trained to a high standard, holding a Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (accredited), a Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills, and a Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Concepts. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), participates regularly in continuing professional development, and holds insurance for her practice. She is also DBS checked.

Her counselling journey has included volunteer roles with Age UK supporting middle-aged and older adults through grief and bereavement, and with Trafford Carers providing emotional support to unpaid carers. While she is fluent in English and Polish, she delivers counselling exclusively in English to ensure clarity and consistency of communication.

Person-Centred and CBT Support Delivered Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a respectful, listening presence. It helps people explore their feelings and values at their own pace and can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It offers practical strategies and skills for managing anxiety, panic, depression, and stress-related problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward clients' goals. It is action-oriented and can be particularly helpful for people who want focused, goal-driven support.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to combine these methods where helpful, tailoring the balance of empathic listening, skill-building, and solution-focused planning to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across locations, and make it easier for clients to fit therapy into busy or changing lives.
