Edyta Johnston, BACP

Edyta Johnston offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She helps people notice thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going. Sessions aim to make small, practical shifts that change day-to-day patterns rather than quick fixes. Edyta works in English and Polish and practises from the United Kingdom.

Her approach begins with careful self-observation so clients can see where they are now. From there she uses relational work to build trust and honesty in the room. Conversations are clear and direct, with gentle challenges offered when needed to help people name difficult feelings and act differently.

Edyta draws on a mix of methods, including cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and attachment-based perspectives to look at early relationship patterns. She also includes client-centred listening and elements from dialectical behaviour work to teach emotional and coping skills.

Over eight years she has supported people with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and career stress. Additional focuses include abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation and immigration-related worries.

Edyta is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Edyta uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred listening in her work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new, more useful ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and habits that get in the way of daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps people understand patterns in their close relationships. Client-centred work focuses on attentive listening, acceptance and allowing the client to lead the pace and topics of the sessions.

Deciding which approach to emphasise is collaborative. She will work with each person to agree goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. If one way of working does not feel right, adjustments are made together so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins at busy moments, or making it simpler to join from a quieter room. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep continuity during work or family changes, while still allowing direct, skills-based work on thoughts and habits.
