Edyta Johnston

Edyta Johnston offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or concerns about eating and body image. She creates a straightforward space where people can start to notice what is happening for them and take small steps to feel steadier. Sessions are aimed at helping someone find clearer ways to cope and make decisions that fit their life.

Her approach begins with self-observation so people can understand where they are now. From there she draws on several talking therapies to help with unhelpful thoughts, strong emotions and relationship patterns. Conversations are direct but warm, and the focus is on actions that make daily life easier.

Edyta highlights the therapeutic relationship as the core of her work. She encourages honesty in the room and offers feedback that can feel challenging and also supportive. Over time people often report greater self-trust and clearer boundaries.

She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma, ADHD, grief, intimacy and career stress, as well as issues linked to immigration and caregiver strain. Her practice also covers attachment difficulties, codependency and dissociation, and she supports people exploring identity and sexuality.

Edyta is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She speaks English and Polish and carries eight years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. To begin she asks people to notice their current patterns and bring that into sessions so they can work on practical change together.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current reactions; it can support issues such as intimacy, abandonment and attachment difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviours to build practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and eating concerns. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the session, offering a non-judgemental space to speak and be heard while choices and goals are explored.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. This means approaches can be mixed and adjusted over time as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Online meetings can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to avoid travel time, helping therapy slot into a busy week.
