Tomasz Konieczny, BACP, NCPS

Tomasz Konieczny is a counsellor who aims to make reaching out feel a little easier. He listens without judgement and helps people take practical steps when life feels overwhelming. Tom often works with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports people with addiction, self-esteem and career worries. Tom draws on several approaches to shape the work. He uses client-centred methods to keep the focus on the person’s experience and combines that with cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of thinking and acting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when feelings in relationships are difficult to understand. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are also part of his toolkit when people want to explore meaning or build steady attention to the present moment. Over five years in practice, Tom has helped people set clear goals and take small, manageable steps towards them. He describes his style as collaborative but also directive when a focused plan will help move things forward. This makes sessions practical and action-oriented, not just reflective. Tom holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. He is based in Kentucky and offers sessions in English and Polish. International clients are welcome. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The service uses a cancellable subscription for sessions, and costs vary depending on location and the therapist’s schedule.

How Tom's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and offering empathy. Online, this means sessions are built around listening carefully and helping people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and tests alternatives through practical exercises. In remote sessions this can include agreed homework, behavioural experiments and step-by-step planning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and shift emotional responses in close relationships, and it can guide conversations about attachment and communication even when meeting remotely.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and realistic for your daily life.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote counselling helps fit therapy around work, family and travel. Online sessions can make it easier to keep a regular schedule, reduce travel time, and support shorter check-ins or focused skills practice between in-person appointments when those are available.
