About Agnieszka

Agnieszka Haldys is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also works with related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiving strain, body image worries and relationship difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and she accepts international clients.

Agnieszka aims to treat people as the experts in their own lives. She listens for what matters to the individual and helps them notice their own strengths. Conversations are straightforward and practical, not full of jargon. The emphasis is on small steps that make day-to-day coping more manageable.

Her practice draws on client-centred ideas that place the person’s perspective at the centre of work. She also uses attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want tools to change thinking and behaviour that increase distress.

In-session, she often combines reflective listening with practical exercises. This might include thinking through unhelpful thought patterns, trying new communication approaches, or rehearsing grounding skills for intense moments. The aim is to leave each session with something concrete to try.

Agnieszka’s approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She will work with clients to set realistic goals and check progress as therapy continues. People usually find the process most useful when they want clear steps to handle stress, make sense of past hurt, or manage addiction and loss.

Approaches you can expect in online sessions

Agnieszka uses client-centred work to focus on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach involves open listening and reflecting what matters to the client, and it helps when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings and choices.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships shape present behaviour. That perspective can help when difficulties with trust, closeness or abandonment keep recurring. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try practical exercises that change responses to stress and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people use video or audio options according to what helps them engage and manage energy during sessions.
