About Edyta

Edyta Johnston offers a calm, practical space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She helps those coping with relationship strain, grief, work burnout, eating and sleeping difficulties, and the ups and downs of neurodiversity. Sessions begin with simple observation of what is happening now, so goals are grounded in day-to-day life.

Her approach centres on the relationship between counsellor and client. That connection is used to build trust and to help people notice patterns they repeat. Conversations are honest and direct, with warmth and attention rather than judgement.

She draws on a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas are used where they fit. Jungian perspectives and client-centred ways of working also appear, depending on what the person brings to sessions.

Edyta has eight years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. She works in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English and Polish. She does not accept international clients, so arrangements are made for people based in the UK.

People choosing to work with her can expect practical tools as well as reflective conversation. The aim is to help clients notice unhelpful habits, try different responses, and develop a steadier sense of self. She pays particular attention to attachment, abandonment and related intimacy concerns.

How attachment and CBT ideas shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and ways of relating. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns of closeness and distance and to practise new responses in everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing small experiments between meetings and reviewing results together.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals and preferences. That means adapting the mix of attachment, CBT or other ideas as the work progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It can also make it easier to bring tools learned in sessions into ordinary daily routines, since practice happens where life actually takes place.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
