Dee Johnson, BACP

Dee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps most in everyday life. One approach involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. This can help with low mood, anxiety and decision-making.

Another approach focuses on processing stressful or painful experiences by gradually making sense of them and learning ways to reduce their hold on daily life. This is useful for trauma, grief and long-standing relationship patterns. Both approaches are adaptable to short-term goals or deeper work depending on what a person needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dee collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, current situation and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and suit fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
