About Edyta

Edyta Johnston helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and issues linked to neurodiversity. She uses self-observation as a starting point and works with clients to notice where they are and what they need. Edyta is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has eight years of experience.

Edyta bases her practice on the therapeutic relationship. She aims to create a setting where people can speak honestly and test new ways of relating. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, understanding attachment and improving day-to-day coping skills.

Her approach draws on attachment-based work and client-centred principles, alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. She also incorporates Jungian perspectives when exploring personal meaning and recurring themes. This blend helps with problems such as burnout, eating difficulties, grief, intimacy and abandonment issues.

Edyta works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, codependency and dissociation. She also supports people facing immigration-related stress, caregiver strain, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame.

Sessions are conducted in English and Polish. Edyta practices in the United Kingdom and has eight years' experience as a BACP counsellor. She encourages straightforward talk and practical steps alongside deeper exploration of patterns rooted in early relationships.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at how people form bonds and respond to closeness, which can help with intimacy problems, abandonment and relationship difficulties.

Client-centred counselling puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing, which can help build trust, increase self-awareness and support people through life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, examines thoughts and behaviours and supports practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edyta will discuss options and agree a way forward with each person, matching methods to their goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm the specific session formats before booking as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as CBT and attachment-focused conversations to work well at a distance, and sessions can be organised to fit around work, caregiving or study commitments.
