About Edyta
Counsellor Edyta Johnston is a BACP member with eight years' practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, career questions and coping with life changes.
Edyta focuses on helping people notice what is happening for them. She uses observation and reflection to identify where a person is struggling. Sessions aim to make what feels confusing more understandable. Conversations are direct and practical rather than full of clinical terms.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles. That means attention to patterns in close relationships and to the person's own experience in the room. Cognitive work is also used to help with anxious or depressive thinking.
Edyta includes skills from dialectical behaviour approaches and elements of Jungian thinking where they fit the person's needs. These methods are used to support coping, emotion regulation and self-understanding. Practical strategies and talk are mixed depending on what the person finds most useful.
She offers sessions in English and Polish. People who come to her for help include those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, neurodiversity such as autism or Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation, divorce and immigration issues. The emphasis is on clear, steady work to help people make sense of difficult feelings and take manageable next steps.
How her approaches translate to remote counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current feelings. This approach helps when trust, abandonment or attachment issues make relationships and intimacy difficult. Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience in the moment. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person name what they notice, which can be useful for anxiety and low self-esteem. Cognitive behavioural techniques address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. They are practical tools for anxiety, depression and some stress-related problems.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Edyta will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt techniques to the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is made.
The exact session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let some people avoid travel time. Talk through practical needs with the counsellor when you arrange a first session so you can choose the format that suits day-to-day life.
