Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch, BACP, NCPS

Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch welcomes people who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or problems with intimacy. She works with individuals who are dealing with trauma, anger, depression, addictions and other life stresses. Joanna writes in plain terms and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone worried about change.

Joanna practises from a belief that each person knows their story best. She asks questions, listens closely and helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and Polish to support bilingual clients.

With 13 years of experience Joanna draws on a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and trauma-focused care. She will talk through thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns and work with clients to build coping skills that suit their daily life. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person.

Her wider focus includes self-esteem, parenting concerns, grief, sexual and intimacy-related issues, LGBT matters and challenges related to migration or health. Joanna also helps with communication problems, control issues, fertility and fatherhood questions when these come up in therapy.

People who choose Joanna can expect clear, straightforward conversation and support aimed at practical change. She encourages gradual steps and checks in about what is helpful as therapy progresses.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding your experience without judgement and helping you feel heard. The counsellor follows your lead, reflects what you say and supports your own pace of change. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or manage mood. Trauma-focused work pays attention to how past events continue to affect daily life and uses careful, gradual steps to build coping skills and reduce the impact of distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Joanna will work collaboratively to decide which methods best fit your goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adapts the plan as you go so the work feels manageable and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session options before booking. These arrangements can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Discussing how you prefer to work is part of the first steps, so practical arrangements match your needs.
