Dee Johnson , BACP

Dee Johnson has worked in counselling for 21 years and brings steady experience to the work. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. Her practice has a particular focus on women's issues alongside trauma, self-esteem and grief.

Dee offers a calm setting where clients can speak openly about difficult feelings. She listens without judgement and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.

She helps people tackle issues such as attachment and abandonment, family of origin concerns, fertility-related stress and workplace difficulties. Dee also works with those affected by sexual assault and abuse, and with people facing isolation or a loss of purpose.

Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in straightforward language. People can expect clear thinking about goals and small steps they can try between sessions. Dee works collaboratively to find what helps each person most.

For many clients the early sessions focus on making sense of current struggles and building coping strategies. Later work can include exploring past patterns that keep repeating. Dee aims to help people regain a sense of agency and move toward more fulfilling relationships and a steadier mood.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Many of Dee's sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present difficulties and practical coping. One common approach looks at thought patterns and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood by testing unhelpful beliefs and trying small behaviour changes. Another approach focuses on understanding attachment and past relationships to explain current relationship patterns and offer new ways of connecting and regulating emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dee collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She will review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so it feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging gives flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing. These options help make regular contact easier to fit into a busy life and support steady progress over time.
