Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch, BACP, NCPS

Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She meets clients who are dealing with trauma, anger, depression and addiction. Joanna speaks English and Polish and brings 13 years of practice to her work. Joanna believes each person knows their own story and already has strengths to build on. She aims to make talking about hard things less overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon. Her approach draws on several ways of working. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions link and suggests small experiments to try between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their priorities at the heart of the work. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to stabilise after upsetting events. Joanna also uses psychodynamic ideas to understand repeating patterns and solution-focused strategies to set achievable short-term goals. Together these methods help with issues such as parenting strain, fertility worries, grief, isolation and problems with intimacy or communication. People can expect a direct but warm style that balances practical steps with space to reflect. Joanna offers support for concerns including LGBT issues, family problems, immigration-related stress, guilt and shame, and men’s issues. She aims to help people find clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day routines.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and creates a space to talk through what matters most, helping with issues like loneliness, relationship strain and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers practical tasks to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood.

Choosing an approach is a joint decision. Joanna will listen to your goals and suggest methods that match what you want to change. Over the first sessions she will check in and adjust the work so it feels useful and realistic for your life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote work easier to fit around busy days and childcare, or helpful when regular travel is difficult. Online therapy can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, try homework between meetings and keep continuity when schedules change. Discuss with Joanna how sessions might fit into your routine and which methods could translate best to an online setting.
