About Kamar
Counsellor Kamar Johnson is a BACP member with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and depression. He also supports those facing life changes and has experience with LGBT and family concerns as well as trauma and intimacy-related issues.
Kamar believes people know their own story and brings a straightforward, person-focused way of working. In sessions he listens to what matters to the client and helps them notice strengths they already have. He uses clear, practical talk rather than jargon, and keeps the pace suited to each person.
His approach draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That means he may focus on present problems and practical coping steps, and also look at patterns from earlier life that still affect someone now. Kamar explains how each idea could apply and agrees the next steps with the client.
Sessions tend to be conversational and aim to make difficult topics easier to speak about. He helps people name feelings, try small changes and manage worry or panic when it comes up. He can also support work on relationship patterns, boundaries, codependency and issues around shame or self-worth.
People who choose him often want a direct, respectful approach and practical ways to handle stress, low mood or tricky relationship dynamics. To begin, clients follow the directory process to complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.
Approaches used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s view of their life. It helps people feel heard and can support work on confidence, shame and relationship problems.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how unhelpful thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It uses practical steps and experiments to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood, and to improve daily coping.
Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to recurring patterns and past relationships that influence present feelings and choices. This can be useful when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain relationship behaviours or feel stuck in old responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kamar will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences. The approach can be adjusted as sessions progress and new priorities emerge.
Please check which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or reducing the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy consistent with their routine.
