Patrycja Czyszczon, BACP

Patrycja Czyszczon is a UK-based therapist with three years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, sleep problems, career concerns, and life transitions. She combines a person-centered approach with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques to offer both empathic listening and practical strategies for change.

Patrycja aims to create an environment defined by warmth, respect, and collaboration, working alongside clients rather than directing their choices. Her person-centered orientation places emphasis on understanding each individual’s perspective, while CBT provides structured tools to manage unhelpful thoughts and build resilience. Solution-focused methods help identify concrete steps toward clients’ goals so progress can be tracked session by session.

Her training includes Level 5 diplomas in both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Therapeutic Counselling, a Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills, and additional qualifications in counselling concepts and online and telephone counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional membership body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and maintains regular continuing professional development through workshops and training.

Patrycja began her counselling journey as a volunteer with Age UK, supporting middle-aged and older adults through grief, bereavement, stress, anxiety, and depression, and she also volunteers with Trafford Carers to support those caring for loved ones. In private practice she has worked with adults from diverse cultural backgrounds, offering sessions that integrate person-centered care, CBT, and solution-focused techniques. Although she is fluent in both English and Polish, she provides counselling exclusively in English to ensure clarity and consistency in sessions.

She supports a broad set of concerns beyond those listed on her profile, including body image, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife concerns, multicultural issues, panic attacks, and financial or career-related stress. Session frequency and duration are determined collaboratively and tailored to each person’s needs. Patrycja is not currently accepting new clients.
