Mignon Johnson, BACP

Mignon Johnson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or big life changes. She is a BACP counsellor with ten years of practice and offers calm, practical support for a wide range of concerns. Sessions are aimed at helping clients notice what matters to them and take steps that fit their values and day-to-day life.

She uses a mix of humanistic and evidence-informed approaches. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and client-centred work. In sessions she listens, reflects back what she hears and helps clients try out new ways of responding to problems.

Her background includes integrative counselling training and ongoing professional development. That training covered person-centred, psychodynamic, mindfulness and behavioural techniques. She also undertook bereavement, domestic abuse and other professional courses that shape how she responds to complex situations.

Mignon draws on personal and professional experience to stay attentive to each client’s unique story. She focuses on the here-and-now and on practical steps that support emotional, mental and relational wellbeing. Her work aims to be collaborative so the client’s goals guide the process.

Clients can expect clear, straightforward conversation and tools to manage distressing feelings. Sessions can explore relationships, trauma, parenting concerns, grief, addiction, career stress, ADHD-related challenges and other areas listed in her specialities.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Mignon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps that match their values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to actions that improve daily life.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past and current relationships shape present emotions and reactions. This work helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more secure ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist discusses client goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy lives. Video works well when face-to-face feeling matters, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
