Aneta Kolodziejska, BACP

Aneta Kolodziejska understands what it is to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the next step. She works with people who are carrying anxiety, sadness, stress, guilt, or self-doubt that can feel too heavy to manage alone. Some come because of loss and the unresolved emotions that follow, while others arrive feeling paralyzed by worry about money, the future, or how to keep going when life feels difficult.

In sessions with Aneta, individuals find a calm, non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts and emotions and to focus on the changes they want to make. Therapy is shaped around each person’s needs so work proceeds at a comfortable pace, helping people feel more able to cope and more in control of everyday challenges.

Aneta is a registered counsellor with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and practises as an integrative counsellor who draws on several therapeutic models. Her approach blends client-centered principles with psychodynamic ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - commonly known as CBT. CBT is explained simply as an approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns that affect mood and actions.

Her sessions aim to increase understanding of feelings and behaviour, identify patterns such as overthinking or self-criticism, and introduce practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety. She offers space to process grief and sadness and to work on building self-esteem and kinder self-relationship. Support with anger expression and developing healthier coping skills is also part of her work.

Aneta focuses on helping people reframe difficult thoughts, reduce emotional overwhelm, and develop tools to move forward. Change can be gradual, and she supports each person gently and respectfully as they take steps toward greater wellbeing.
