About Starnta
Starnta Johal is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, addiction and other concerns listed in her profile. She also focuses on young adult issues and supports people facing life transitions such as leaving home, study pressures and early-career stress.
Starnta uses a person-centred approach as her foundation. She listens and helps people make sense of their thoughts and feelings. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused methods where they may help address patterns of thinking or past distress.
Sessions are conversational and aim to identify triggers and practical steps a person can try between meetings. Starnta has worked with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and has experience supporting bereavement through Cruse bereavement counselling practice. She also references work with attachment issues and panic-related problems.
She is experienced supporting young adults with exam stress, low self-esteem, confidence, self-harm thoughts and anxiety. The work can include short courses of 4-6 weekly sessions or longer-term support depending on what the person and counsellor agree will help.
Starnta speaks English and works within the UK. If someone prefers to book they are asked to use the platform process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The profile notes a subscription model is used for sessions and that costs vary by location.
How her approaches guide online work
Starnta draws on person-centred, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural approaches. Person-centred work focuses on listening and helping a person make sense of their thoughts and feelings. It suits people who want a reflective, conversational way to examine what matters to them.Attachment-based ideas look at how earlier relationships affect current patterns. This can help where anxiety, intimacy or recurring relationship problems are present. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts and behaviours interact and can offer practical strategies for anxiety, panic and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Starnta will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then agree a way of working together. That means the method can change as the person’s needs become clearer and progress is reviewed.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around study or work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy manageable alongside everyday life.
