About Edyta

Edyta Johnston offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed by jealousy, anxiety, stress or life changes. She writes in plain, direct terms and focuses on helping clients notice what's happening for them now. Sessions begin with careful self-observation so the person can see where they are and what they want to change.

Her practice is built around the relationship she forms with each client. Edyta aims to make sessions feel manageable and sometimes even a little enjoyable. That helps clients start to trust their own judgement again after painful experiences or confusing feelings.

In the room she listens for patterns that keep repeating. Then she helps the person try different ways of thinking and behaving to test those patterns. Practical skills and reflective conversation are both used, depending on what the client needs in the moment.

Edyta has eight years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on a mix of approaches to match the person's concerns rather than sticking to one fixed method.

She offers sessions in English and Polish for people based in the United Kingdom. If someone wants help with issues linked to attachment, trauma, relationships, ADHD or body image, she brings focused attention to those themes while working at a pace that suits the client.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns and practise different responses within the therapy relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical tools to change those patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful cycles of thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to the person's goals and preferences and then suggest which methods might help most. This is a collaborative process where approaches can be mixed and adjusted over time so the work fits the person's needs.

Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady progress through regular meetings and practical homework between sessions, helping people apply what they try in the session to everyday life.
