Alethia Johnson, BACP

Alethia Johnson is a UK-licensed therapist with 25 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. She works with clients on self-esteem, motivation and goal-setting, and assists those navigating studies, career concerns and workplace challenges. Her practice also focuses on panic disorder, communication difficulties and developing healthier coping strategies for everyday pressures.

Alethia holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting professional membership and recognised training in counselling approaches. She approaches each person with respect and compassion and adapts conversations and treatment plans to meet individual needs and goals. Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, and she aims to make that beginning as encouraging and manageable as possible.

Alethia offers video sessions and messaging-only options for care, and she is unable to provide written evidence to third parties as proof of attendance. She works with clients in the United Kingdom. Typical availability (UK GMT), excluding public holidays, is Monday 17:00 - 18:45 and Tuesday to Friday 10:30 - 18:45.

Therapeutic approaches in online care

Alethia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while focusing on values-based actions that build a more meaningful life. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT provides practical strategies for managing anxiety, panic and stress and for changing unhelpful patterns that maintain problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Alethia works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions so the chosen approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Alethia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and daily life. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling and allow people to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, while maintaining continuity of care when circumstances change.
