Edyta Johnston

Edyta Johnston is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, life changes and questions about purpose. She also supports those facing ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, intimacy concerns and LGBT-related matters. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.

Edyta begins by helping people notice what is happening for them in everyday life. She asks practical questions and encourages self-observation so clients can identify where they are and what they want to change. Conversations are direct but gentle, aimed at helping people speak honestly about difficult feelings and habits.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at early patterns and how those patterns affect current relationships. She also uses client-centred ways of listening so that people feel heard while they make sense of things at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where helpful to address anxious thinking and unhelpful behaviours.

For those dealing with strong emotions or impulsivity, Edyta brings in elements from dialectical behaviour therapy to teach practical skills for coping and regulation. She may also refer to Jungian ideas when exploring deeper themes and life meaning. The focus is on workable steps, clearer thinking and improved day-to-day coping rather than quick fixes.

People wanting to begin are invited to follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session. The approach suits adults who feel stuck after a change, unsure about direction, or seeking steadier ways to manage emotion and relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current trust and closeness. Online sessions can use this framework to map relational habits and try new ways of connecting in day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening and helping people make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. In an online conversation this approach supports reflection and clearer priorities through careful questioning and listening. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises. Online sessions can introduce simple tools and homework that fit into daily routines, such as brief thought records or behavioural experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical skills, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins or telephone meetings if that better suits someone on a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange the mix of session length and frequency that fits everyday life.
