About Starnta

Starnta Johal works on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, bereavement, addictions and intimacy-related issues using person-centred methods while drawing on other therapeutic approaches. She is registered with NCPS and has four years' experience in counselling and support work in the United Kingdom.

Starnta uses person-centred practice to help people talk through thoughts, feelings and actions. She aims to look at the roots of a problem and offer different perspectives that can shift how someone copes day to day. Her background includes work with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, and Cruse bereavement counselling experience.

She also works with young adults on exam stress, anxiety, self-harm and confidence issues. Starnta draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas when these fit the concern. Trauma-focused approaches inform her work with people affected by past harm.

Sessions are described in straightforward terms and can be a single session, a short 4-6 week course, or longer term depending on what the person needs. She explains options and next steps clearly to help people decide what feels manageable.

Starnta offers counselling in English in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. Prospective clients are asked to use the site process to begin a match and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Starnta combines person-centred practice with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting to help someone make sense of their feelings and choices. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practises different skills to change them. Trauma-focused approaches address the impact of past harm and help people manage traumatic memories and reactions.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to use. That means plans can change as understanding deepens and different techniques are tried.

Session options are not listed in the biography on this page, so please confirm the exact online formats available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, study and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins on busy days. Many people find remote conversations let them access a therapist from their local area in a practical way.
