About Alethia

Alethia Johnson brings 25 years of professional experience to her counselling work. She offers a calm, straightforward style that helps people facing anxiety, stress and low mood. She talks with clients about career pressures, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Video and messaging are her main ways of meeting people in the United Kingdom and the European Union. Alethia focuses on practical steps alongside listening. Sessions explore what matters to a person now and which small changes could make life easier.

02

How Alethia works

She helps people manage panic attacks and improve communication at work. Goal-setting and finding better balance between life and work are common topics. Her approach adapts to each person.

She uses evidence-based methods such as cognitive work to spot unhelpful thinking, skills-building for emotion regulation, and attention to relationships that shape behaviour. Plans are made together and reviewed as progress is made. Alethia understands that starting therapy can feel daunting.

She aims to create respectful, compassionate conversations where people feel heard. She does not provide written evidence to third parties about attendance. Sessions are held by video calls and messaging only.

Appointments are arranged around UK time and suit people who prefer remote contact for flexibility and convenience.

How Alethia’s approaches work online

Alethia uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against everyday experience. This approach often includes practical exercises and simple experiments to change thinking patterns and reduce anxiety.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. This can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong emotions and how to respond differently.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alethia will discuss your needs and preferences and decide together which methods suit your goals. She adapts the mix of techniques as you progress so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls and several messaging options such as live chat or text-based exchanges. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that need face-to-face interaction, while phone or messaging can fit short check-ins, busy schedules or lower-bandwidth situations. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around work and family commitments, and offer flexibility for people who prefer not to attend in person.
