Joanna Klekotko , BACP

Joanna Klekotko is a psychologist and psychotherapist with more than 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She combines training in person-centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic approaches, and solution-focused techniques to create a tailored, integrative way of working that responds to each client's needs. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Based in London, Joanna sees adult clients in person and also offers online video sessions. She has particular experience helping people with anxiety disorders, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, self-esteem concerns, and addictions. Her practice includes individual psychotherapy and couples work, with an emphasis on building emotional resilience and practical coping strategies for life transitions.

Joanna structures the first session to identify the main areas of suffering, clarify goals, and agree on ways of working together. She offers both short-term counselling and open-ended psychotherapy, adjusting the length and focus of therapy to the client’s expectations and the nature of the difficulties. Throughout the process she supports clients to connect with their emotions, needs, values, and personal resources to promote meaningful change and growth.

Integrative Therapies and Online Support

Joanna uses approaches that combine practical skills and a focus on the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and build new coping strategies - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a collaborative pace; it supports clients who want a reflective, person-led process to explore values, emotions, and self-understanding. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early bonds to help people improve intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation, which can be especially useful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and trauma-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Joanna works collaboratively with clients to clarify needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as the work unfolds so the therapy fits each person’s situation and aims.

Online therapy with Joanna is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to continue consistent psychotherapy while balancing work, family, travel, or other commitments, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from wherever they are located.
