About Starnta
Starnta Johal is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and concerns around intimacy and self‑esteem. Starnta also supports parenting concerns and people managing life changes.
Her practice uses client-centred principles alongside other methods. She draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Trauma-focused approaches inform her work with people affected by past abuse or post-traumatic stress.
Sessions are designed to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and the roots of a problem. Starnta aims to help people make small, practical changes and to understand how past experiences shape current reactions. She also assists with panic attacks, social anxiety and self-harm concerns for young adults.
Her background includes work with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and bereavement counselling through Cruse. The NCPS credential appears with her name as supplied. She offers therapy in English and does not take international clients.
To begin, people use the platform matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and therapy is provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session formats and scheduling specifics before booking.

How her approaches work for remote sessions
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. In a session this means noticing interaction patterns, exploring where they come from, and trying small changes to feel and relate differently. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to make space for reflection. The counsellor follows the client's lead, listens to concerns and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural techniques break down thoughts, feelings and behaviours into clear links. Sessions use practical tools such as thought records or behavioural experiments to test different ways of coping with anxiety, panic or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs and preferences and agree a plan together. That plan can combine elements from different approaches and be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as current session options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow sessions without video if someone prefers less bandwidth or a shorter phone check-in. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises and homework so they suit remote sessions and everyday routines.
