Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch, BACP, NCPS

Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief or low self-esteem. She writes in plain terms and aims to make starting therapy less daunting. Sessions are offered in English and Polish. Joanna believes clients know their own lives best and works alongside them to find workable steps forward.

Joanna has 13 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She focuses on practical ways to manage strong emotions such as anger, and on recovering after trauma and abuse. She also helps with issues linked to addictions, intimacy, parenting and identity concerns including LGBT matters.

Her approach blends several ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy means she listens without judgement and follows the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts and actions maintain problems and introduces small, manageable changes. Trauma-Focused and Psychodynamic ideas help make sense of difficult past events and patterns that keep repeating.

Joanna aims for straightforward sessions that identify realistic goals. She supports people dealing with family problems, divorce, fertility or immigration worries and practical dilemmas like fatherhood or men’s issues. The emphasis is on clear steps, improved communication and restoring a sense of control.

She encourages people to be curious about therapy and to try small changes between sessions. Joanna offers a calm, direct style and works with each person to build on their existing strengths.

How Joanna's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space and helps people find their own answers to problems like low self-esteem or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. It uses clear, practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage anger or shift unhelpful routines.

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people make sense of difficult past events and reduce their ongoing impact. It can involve paced processing of memories alongside techniques to manage intense emotions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Joanna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods collaboratively as therapy progresses. The aim is to try what fits and change course if something is not helping.

If you are considering online work, check which session formats are offered when you book. Confirm the available options before scheduling so they fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time, which helps people keep continuity with their work on emotions, relationships and life changes.
