Alethia Johnson is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical problems many people face, such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and career concerns. She encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for conversation.

Her work often centres on managing emotions and building motivation. She helps people set realistic goals and navigate workplace issues and communication problems.

Background and approach

Panic disorder and panic attacks are also within her focus areas. Alethia uses a mix of well-known approaches including acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioural ideas, and client-centred ways of working. She draws on attachment-based and dialectical behaviour ideas when those perspectives are useful for understanding relationships and intense emotions.

Sessions are offered by video calls and messaging, and she sees people based in the UK and the European Union. She notes she cannot provide written proof of attendance to third parties. Alethia aims to adapt the pace and content of sessions to each person’s needs.

She helps people create step-by-step plans, practise new ways of coping, and work through changes so daily life feels more manageable.

How Alethia’s approaches work online

Alethia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to focus on small actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change them, which can reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick approaches that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix methods so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls and text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while messaging is useful for shorter check-ins, journalling between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, study and family commitments, and allow people in different parts of the UK and European Union to access the same therapist.
