About

About Edyta

Edyta Johnston offers straightforward, compassionate counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or major life changes. She works with concerns such as relationship strain, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and LGBT‑related issues. Sessions begin by looking closely at what is happening now, so the first steps are clear and manageable.

Her work rests on the therapeutic relationship. Edyta aims to create a calm space where people can notice patterns, speak honestly and learn to trust their own judgment.

Background and approach

She uses practical conversation and reflective listening rather than jargon. This helps people make small adjustments that matter in daily life. Edyta draws on approaches such as attachment-based therapy and client-centred work to improve how people relate to themselves and others.

She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behaviour therapy skills to manage intense emotions. Jungian perspectives may be used when exploring deeper personal meaning. With eight years of experience and BACP registration, Edyta combines experience with a down‑to‑earth manner.

She can work in English and Polish. International clients are not currently accepted, and sessions are based in the United Kingdom. Practical starting steps are simple: a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling.

Edyta works collaboratively so goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

How Edyta's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds affect present feelings and reactions. This can be useful for people who feel stuck in repeated relationship difficulties or who struggle with trust and closeness.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them find their own answers and build confidence in making changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it focuses on small, concrete steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edyta will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process where priorities are set together and reviewed regularly.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to offer continuity and practical flexibility while working through the same approaches used in face-to-face counselling.
