About Joanna
Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch offers a calm, practical approach for people worried about anxiety and stress. She keeps things simple and direct so a parent reading on a phone can quickly understand what to expect. Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and Joanna aims to help clients feel more able to manage day-to-day pressures and relationships.
Joanna has worked in counselling for 13 years. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and practises in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. In sessions she treats the client as the expert on their own life. She listens closely and helps people notice strengths they already have.
That often means breaking problems into small, practical steps to try between meetings. Joanna uses several approaches to fit different needs. These include client-centred methods that focus on the person, cognitive behavioural techniques that address unhelpful thinking and trauma-informed ways of working with painful memories.
She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help set clear, short-term goals. People come to Joanna for help with relationship strains, parenting pressures, grief, and identity concerns among other issues. Her style is warm and straightforward, aiming to build confidence and practical skills rather than rely on jargon.
If someone prefers to speak in Polish she offers sessions in that language.
How Joanna's approaches work online
Joanna commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Client-centred work means the conversation focuses on the person and their priorities, helping them be heard and understood while they decide next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanna will listen to a client's goals and try a method that fits their needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the way she works as progress and preferences become clear.
Online therapy with Joanna is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and reading visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
