Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch , BACP, NCPS

She works with individuals who are dealing with trauma, anger, depression, addictions, or concerns about intimacy and self-esteem. Joanna speaks English and Polish and aims to help people take the first steps toward clearer thinking and steadier days.

She uses straightforward, person-focused conversations where clients' experiences guide the work. Joanna believes people know their own stories and brings questions and practical ideas to help them make sense of difficult moments. Sessions are centred on the client's needs and move at a pace that feels manageable.

Joanna has 13 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, from fertility and fatherhood issues to grief, immigration challenges and HIV or AIDS related worries. She also supports those facing control issues, jealousy, isolation or problems with communication and trust. Her background includes work with people dealing with domestic violence, divorce and separation, and other complex life events.

Her approach draws on different ways of working, including cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking, psychodynamic ideas to consider past influences, and trauma-focused tools when needed. Joanna aims to offer practical steps as well as space to reflect. She uses a collaborative style that balances short-term goals with deeper personal exploration.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. The counsellor offers empathy and reflective responses to help people name feelings and make choices about change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Joanna will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on the client's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and she adapts methods as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when seeing facial cues helps the conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and maintain regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
