About Starnta

Starnta Johal is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on four years of experience to help people understand what they are feeling and why. Starnta works in a person-centred way while also using other approaches to fit each person's needs.

She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger and intimacy issues. Relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and issues related to identity and LGBT matters are part of her practice too.

Starnta uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events keep causing distress.

Sessions may include single meetings, short 4-6 week courses, or longer work depending on what someone needs. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences.

Starnta is registered with NCPS. She works in English and does not accept international clients. To start, people select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.

How attachment and trauma approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that began in close relationships and how they shape current reactions. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and try different ways of relating in everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. In remote sessions the therapist and client can use simple exercises and homework to practise changes between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that suit the person's needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, journalling between sessions or when someone prefers to write rather than speak.

These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study and family duties. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to deliver the same core therapeutic work as in-person sessions, tailored to the individual's situation.
