About Starnta
Starnta Johal is a NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience working with adults. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family concerns, grief, addictions, intimacy issues, parenting pressures and anger. She also supports clients with depression and coping with life changes.
Starnta trained in person-centred work and uses that as a foundation for her sessions. She draws on a range of approaches, including attachment-based methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused work. Her experience includes supporting survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and bereavement counselling with Cruse.
Sessions aim to make sense of thoughts, feelings and actions. Starnta helps people look towards the root of a situation so they can respond differently. Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to how patterns show up in relationships and daily life.
She has worked with young adults on exam stress, self-esteem, confidence, suicidal thoughts and self-harm. Starnta pays attention to multicultural aspects of a person's experience and to attachment issues that can affect how people relate to others.
Her way of working suits people who want clear, everyday explanations and practical steps alongside space to talk. She asks questions, reflects what she hears and introduces strategies from different approaches where they fit the client’s goals.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Starnta combines person-centred work with attachment-based and trauma-focused approaches. Person-centred work means the conversation is led by what matters to the client, helping them notice thoughts and feelings in day-to-day life. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they relate. Trauma-focused methods focus on what happened and on practical steps to reduce intense reactions and improve coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Starnta will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and comfort. She listens to the person's priorities and tries strategies from different approaches to find a good fit over time.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use these benefits to help sessions fit into everyday schedules rather than asking for large blocks of time.
