Edyta Johnston offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. She helps clients notice what is happening for them now and make small changes that add up. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and draw on eight years of practice in the United Kingdom.

Edyta begins by encouraging simple self-observation so clients can see where they are stuck. That first step helps make sense of difficult feelings like shame, guilt or emptiness.

Background and approach

She aims to help people trust their own judgment again by modelling clear, honest feedback in session. Her approach values the therapeutic relationship as the engine of change. People often find that feeling understood in the room makes it easier to try new ways of coping outside sessions.

Work may include looking at attachment patterns, thinking about unhelpful thoughts, or building practical emotion regulation skills. Edyta draws from attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques depending on what a person needs. She also uses elements from dialectical behaviour therapy and Jungian ideas when they fit the problem.

The focus is always on what will help the individual feel more in control and less overwhelmed. She supports people with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, ADHD, identity and intimacy issues, grief, eating and sleep difficulties, career stress and immigration-related worries. Sessions can be via video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different schedules.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can help people notice repeating attachment patterns, explore feelings of abandonment or trust, and try new ways of relating to others.

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathic listening and gentle feedback so clients can find their own answers, build self-trust and make choices that feel right for them.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online meetings this often means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviours between sessions and tracking small changes over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining approaches or adjusting the focus as progress is made.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging - offer practical flexibility. Video is useful when visual contact helps the work, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or study commitments and to maintain continuity when schedules change.
