About Mignon
Mignon Johnson is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family strain, grief, addiction and other life challenges. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to make small, practical changes. Her style is warm and person-centred, with attention to attachment and how past experiences affect current life.
She draws on ten years of practice and a background in integrative counselling to tailor sessions to each person. That training included humanistic person-centred work, attachment ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She also engages in continuing professional development and supervision to keep her practice reflective and responsive.
In sessions she pays close attention to relationships and attachment patterns, helping people notice how connection and early experiences shape feelings and choices. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches are used alongside values-based work to support changes in thinking and behaviour. The emphasis is on what the client wants to achieve and small steps toward those goals.
Mignon also works with issues such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue, body image concerns, chronic illness and bereavement. Her approach is grounded in recognising each person as unique and adapting methods to suit their needs. She aims to balance emotional understanding with straightforward techniques that people can use between sessions.
Based in the United Kingdom, she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative process that centres their priorities and practical next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, low mood and life transitions by clarifying priorities and building practical actions.Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. It can be useful for people who want to understand patterns in close relationships, attachment wounds, abandonment or communication difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may blend approaches as needed. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed prescription.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Confirm the current session options and formats before booking so arrangements match individual needs.
