Starnta Johal

Starnta Johal is a counsellor with four years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She uses a person-centred approach to help clients talk through feelings and understand patterns that influence their decisions. Starnta also addresses grief, trauma, addictions and issues around intimacy and parenting. She holds NCPS as a credential and practises in the United Kingdom.

Starnta offers short courses of therapy as well as single sessions and longer-term work, depending on what a client needs. She draws on a range of approaches beyond person-centred work to tailor sessions to each person. Her practice includes support for people dealing with panic, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and social anxiety.

Her background includes counselling young people around exam stress, self-esteem, confidence, suicidal thoughts and self-harm. Starnta has experience with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse through agency work, and with bereavement counselling. She also pays attention to multicultural concerns and attachment-related patterns in relationships.

The overall aim is to help people find clearer perspectives and practical ways forward. Sessions focus on understanding the roots of current problems and building small, manageable steps towards change. Where appropriate, Starnta integrates trauma-focused ideas and cognitive techniques alongside a person-centred stance.

If you prefer to contact her outside the platform, the original biography mentions an email address for technical issues, and she asks people to get in touch to arrange time slots and discuss what kind of course or single session would work best.

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps identify how early relationships influence current reactions and closeness. It can be useful for people who notice repeated patterns in relationships or who struggle with trust and intimacy.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping you find your own answers. This approach supports people who need space to explore feelings without pressure to follow a set plan.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical strategies to manage symptoms like panic or social anxiety. It can include exercises you try between sessions to build confidence and reduce worry.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and needs and agree on which ideas to use together. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for you.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. Different approaches can be adapted for remote work, and the therapist will help choose practical arrangements that suit your daily routine and goals.
