About Edyta

Edyta Johnston is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns alongside issues such as eating and sleeping problems, career stress and grief. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, neurodiversity and intimacy-related difficulties, including patterns of codependency.

Sessions begin with close self-observation so the person can see where they are now. Edyta uses that starting point to help someone notice unhelpful patterns and make small, clear changes. She focuses on what happens between people and how past attachments shape current choices.

Her style draws on attachment-based work and client-centred principles that prioritise the helping relationship. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address thoughts and behaviours that keep someone stuck, and elements of DBT for emotional regulation when needed. Jungian ideas may be brought in to think about deeper themes and personal meaning.

People who find her work useful tend to engage with honest conversation in sessions and learn to test new ways of relating outside therapy. Edyta encourages practical steps alongside exploring feelings. She aims for clear, steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are conducted in English and Polish. Before booking, the reader should confirm the current session options and format through the site’s scheduling flow.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. In practice this means noticing patterns in how someone trusts, withdraws or seeks reassurance and testing new ways of relating in session. Client-centred work focuses on the helping relationship and the person’s experience in the room; it involves listening, reflecting and following what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) concentrates on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Edyta treats that choice as a collaboration and will help figure out what fits best based on someone’s needs, goals and preferences. Sessions may mix elements from different approaches so the plan can adapt as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between responsibilities. They also make it simpler to check in more frequently with shorter meetings or to use audio rather than video if that helps someone stay focused. Registered and accredited professionals often use these practical options to help therapy fit into a busy schedule.
