About Mignon

Mignon Johnson helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and other emotional difficulties using an integrative, client-led approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years' experience.

She trained with a BACP-accredited Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and holds a BA (Hons). Her training covered person-centred work, attachment theory, transactional analysis, Gestalt and cognitive behavioural techniques. She has also completed additional professional development in areas such as bereavement, pluralistic therapy, neuro-linguistic programming and outdoor therapy.

In sessions she focuses on what the client brings in that day and works collaboratively to agree aims and methods. Practical person-centred interventions may include acknowledging and validating feelings, exploring patterns linked to attachment, and using cognitive-behavioural strategies where helpful.

Her practice includes attention to emotional, mental, physical and spiritual aspects when relevant. She draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred methods, CBT and emotionally-focused techniques to respond to different problems such as grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, addiction and chronic illness.

She aims to match her approach to each person's goals and preferences and uses ongoing supervision and continuing professional development to inform her practice.

How Mignon uses different approaches in remote counselling

Mignon commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred methods. ACT focuses on values and mindful action rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts, and can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connection and intimacy issues, which can be useful for relationship and family concerns. Client-centred work concentrates on the client's own perspective, using listening and validation to help people clarify their goals and make changes.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will discuss which approaches fit best with a client's goals, preferences and current problems, and agree a plan together rather than imposing a single model.

The original biography does not name specific session formats, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help on quieter days or when time is limited.
