Joanna Bienkowska, BACP

Joanna Bienkowska is a UK-licensed therapist with three years of professional and placement experience who approaches each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion. She focuses on creating a tailored dialogue and individualized treatment plan that respond to a client’s specific needs and circumstances, adapting methods and pacing to fit each person’s goals and life situation.

Joanna recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and she positions herself as a supportive partner throughout that process. She holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards and ongoing development. Joanna aims to provide practical, empathetic care that helps clients explore challenges and build skills for lasting change.

CBT-informed care and flexible online sessions

Joanna integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her practice. CBT helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, making it useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and patterns that affect daily functioning. This approach is practical and goal-oriented, supporting measurable steps toward relief and improved coping.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work Joanna does together with each client. She collaborates with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors methods and pace so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Joanna is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to attend sessions from different locations, fit therapy into busy schedules, and continue work between sessions in ways that suit their lifestyle while engaging with trained, licensed professionals.
