About Joanna
Joanna (Asha) Kaszczuk-Baulch is a counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate parenting stress and related life challenges. She speaks English and Polish and draws on thirteen years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship strain and trauma. Joanna starts by listening to each person's story and noticing their strengths.
She treats the client as the expert on their own life and helps them build on what already works.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward so parents can try small changes between meetings. Her work mixes different approaches depending on the issue. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new reactions.
Client-centred ways of working create space for people to feel heard and understood. Joanna also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time, and trauma-focused methods when past events keep affecting daily life. She adapts tools to fit the situation rather than applying one fixed method.
People come to Joanna for a range of concerns, including grief, addiction, intimacy issues and difficulties with communication or control. She also supports those dealing with fertility, immigration, HIV/AIDS and fatherhood worries. Her approach is calm, practical and geared towards real-life improvements.
Sessions are offered in the United Kingdom and conducted in English or Polish. Joanna works with parents who want clear strategies, a listening ear and a steady partner as they work through change.

Approaches you can try online
Client-centred work places the client's views at the heart of the session and focuses on listening, empathy and supporting personal choices. It helps people who need space to make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and problem-focused, helping people test new ways of thinking and behaving for issues like anxiety, low mood and parenting stress.
Trauma-focused therapy addresses the impact of past hurt on present life. It uses techniques to reduce the ongoing effects of traumatic events and to help people feel more in control day to day.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanna will talk through goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and together they will try methods that fit the person's situation. Adjustment over time is normal as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from anywhere. Phone sessions use less data and can fit a short break in the day. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family life and busy schedules.
