About Edyta

Edyta Johnston offers a calm, straightforward place to start when life feels overwhelming. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and codependency. Sessions are delivered in English and Polish and draw on practical conversation and steady listening to find what matters now.

Her work begins with close self-observation. That helps pinpoint patterns such as avoidance, impulsivity or difficulty setting boundaries. From there she and the client try out ways to change small habits and test new responses in everyday life.

Edyta uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT provides tools for spotting unhelpful thoughts and adjusting behaviour. She also uses client-centred listening to keep the focus on each person’s values and choices.

Clients can expect sessions that balance practical steps with reflective conversation. Edyta aims for plain language, concrete tasks and compassion in the room. She explains options and helps people choose what fits their goals.

Edyta has eight years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and supports people facing issues such as trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD and career stress.

To begin, she encourages a simple first step of describing current struggles and what the client hopes will change. From there she and the client plan sessions that feel manageable and relevant.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice relational patterns, practise new ways of relating and reflect on emotional responses in real time.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. In this approach the therapist listens without directing, and helps people find their own solutions. It suits those who want a respectful space to talk things through and to make decisions at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, gives practical techniques for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. Online sessions can include simple exercises, homework and short check-ins to track progress between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods together. This is a collaborative process and changes can be made as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter catch-ups when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work, study or caregiving commitments.
