About Edyta
Edyta Johnston is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD and issues linked to life transitions. She also helps with grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges faced by LGBT clients.
Edyta focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client as the main tool for change. Sessions start with close self-observation to clarify what is happening now. That helps set small, practical steps people can try between meetings.
Her practise draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive work to help people understand patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. She also uses client-centred methods to keep conversations grounded in what matters to the person in the room. For people who struggle with overwhelming emotions, she can incorporate techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy.
Edyta pays attention to issues connected to neurodiversity, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and to concerns such as abandonment, codependency and dissociation. She also works with practical stresses like career pressure and immigration-related strain.
Sessions are conversational and focused. People can expect to talk through what they notice about thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The aim is clearer self-understanding and manageable changes that fit everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-based work helps people see patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It can be useful for worries about abandonment, attachment issues and relationship repeating cycles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and aims to find practical ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsivity while improving distress tolerance.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time as priorities change.
The precise online session formats offered should be confirmed before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort is a consideration. Ask about current session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements fit your day-to-day life.
