Edyta Johnston, BACP

Edyta Johnston offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression or big life changes. She uses clear conversation to help clients notice what is happening for them now and what they want to change. Sessions are straightforward and steady, with an emphasis on building trust and understanding at a comfortable pace.

Her work starts with careful self-observation so clients can see where they are right now. From there she helps people make small, realistic steps towards feeling steadier. Discussions focus on everyday experiences such as sleep, eating, work strain, and the patterns that keep problems repeating.

Edyta draws on several approaches to match what a person needs. Client-Centred Therapy means the session follows the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety or low mood going and tries practical changes.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. Jungian ideas may be brought in to explore deeper personal themes when relevant.

Edyta has eight years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and Polish and works with common concerns such as ADHD, grief, intimacy issues, and identity matters including LGBT concerns.

People ready to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and connections, helping people understand patterns in relationships and emotional responses. Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s experience at the centre and allows sessions to follow the person’s priorities, useful for building trust and self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood and improve daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. This is a collaborative process where techniques are introduced at a pace that suits the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, while live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and fit therapy around work, family commitments or mobility needs.
