She also holds a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling and other related qualifications that inform her work. Wajda draws on a mix of approaches depending on the issue.
She may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques, attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused methods, existential thinking or creative activities to help with anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and other issues. She offers flexible online sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Wajda explains options and tailors the format to each person’s needs.
Her practice aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward. Clients who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book through the Start Therapy button. The process helps ensure sessions match a person’s goals and preferred way of working.
Therapeutic approaches and online practice
Wajda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose meaningful action rather than struggling with every thought. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This can help with intimacy, communication problems and repeating hurtful dynamics in relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and may combine elements from person-centred work, emotionally-focused techniques or creative activities to match the client’s needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls let people read facial cues and use a conversational pace. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between longer sessions. Together these options aim to make counselling flexible and easier to attend around work, family and travel commitments.
