Mignon Johnson , BACP

Mignon Johnson is a BACP counsellor who focuses on women's issues and related concerns. She brings ten years of experience and a calm, listening style. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in real-life experience rather than jargon. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, anxiety or relationship strains.

She combines several therapy styles to suit each person. Sessions often begin by identifying what matters most to the client and setting practical goals. Mignon uses acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also draws on attachment-informed perspectives to understand how past relationships shape current reactions.

Mignon trained via an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling that was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She also maintains membership with BACP and the National Counselling Society, and keeps learning through ongoing professional development. This blend of formal training and lived experience informs her work.

In sessions she focuses on what the client brings into the room, including issues such as trauma, addiction, parenting stress, body image and career worries. She aims to tailor methods to each individual rather than using one fixed model. Meetings are practical, paced to the client, and guided by their goals.

She offers therapy in English from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions can be arranged by completing the service's matching questionnaire and booking a time that suits the client.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Mignon uses approaches that focus on values, relationships and the client's own experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and connect with personal values so they can take practical steps even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches simple techniques to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current reactions and can be useful for clients struggling with trust, intimacy and repeating relational patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try different methods with the client, adjusting the plan together based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative way ensures the therapy matches the client's goals and preferences rather than following a fixed script.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress and support.
