Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch

Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch meets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or angry and want a different way forward. She makes space for practical conversation and steady support. Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and she works from the perspective that the client knows their life best.

Joanna treats stress, anxiety, depression and anger with straightforward, goal-oriented work. She helps people talk through relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns and the effects of trauma and abuse. Addictions, grief, sexual health and identity matters also feature in her practice when they relate to a person's current struggles.

Her approach draws on several ways of working, including client-centred listening and techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused therapy. That means sessions can include noting patterns of thought and behaviour, trying small practical experiments, and exploring past experiences that keep problems repeating.

Joanna has 13 years of experience in counselling and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She uses a collaborative style that aims to build confidence and clearer choices rather than offer one-size-fits-all solutions.

People who prefer to use Polish for sessions can do so, and she practices in the United Kingdom. She encourages people to take small first steps, and to shape the pace and focus of work around what feels manageable.

If someone wants to start, Joanna asks them to complete the site’s short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Joanna’s approaches work online

Joanna draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people untangle difficult feelings and set small, practical goals. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s priorities so they can steer sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses simple exercises to test new ways of coping.

She also uses trauma-focused ideas when past events keep affecting day-to-day life. That often means pacing discussions about difficult memories and building skills to manage reactions before exploring deeper material. The choice of approach is collaborative and shaped by a person’s goals and comfort level.

If you’re considering online work, check the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Joanna will work with each person to match methods and practical arrangements to their needs and preferences.
