Joanna Klekotko, BACP

Joanna Klekotko is a psychologist and psychotherapist with more than 15 years of clinical experience supporting adults and couples through a wide range of emotional and life difficulties. She practices as an integrative therapist, blending person-centred work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic methods and solution-focused techniques to fit each person's needs and goals.

Her work commonly addresses anxiety disorders, depression, relationship challenges, loss, low self-esteem and addictions, and she also supports people with trauma, grief, parenting concerns, career issues, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Joanna places emphasis on building emotional resilience and practical coping strategies to help clients navigate life transitions and regain a sense of balance.

Joanna tailors therapy to the emotional needs and expectations of each client, exploring emotions, values and personal meanings that can guide change. She offers both short-term counselling and open-ended psychotherapy depending on what an individual requires, and she accompanies clients through the therapeutic process with a collaborative, client-centred stance.

She sees clients in London for in-person work and provides online sessions, including video meetings. Joanna works in English and Polish and accepts international clients. She holds BACP accreditation - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Somatic and Trauma-Focused therapies, Internal Family Systems and other evidence-informed modalities.

At the first session Joanna reviews the main concerns a person wants to address and discusses possible ways of working together. She focuses on creating a supportive environment and on co-creating therapy goals so that the work aligns with the client's expectations and leads toward a more satisfying life.
