About Starnta
Starnta Johal is a counsellor with the NCPS credential and four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, LGBT and intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem and depression. Sessions also address coping with life changes and related worries.
She trained in client-centred approaches and uses that as a base while drawing on other methods. Her background includes work with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and bereavement support through Cruse. Starnta describes using trauma-focused ideas and attachment thinking alongside cognitive strategies when these fit a person's situation.
In sessions she talks through thoughts, feelings and actions to help people see patterns and possible next steps. She offers short courses of work, single sessions, or longer-term support depending on what someone needs. Practical steps and breathing or grounding ideas may appear alongside talking when helpful.
Starnta has experience supporting young adults with anxiety, exam stress, self-esteem, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and she combines that experience with her work with adults. Her approach aims to balance listening and concrete tools so people can try things between sessions.

How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current responses, and it can help people understand patterns behind anger and distance in close relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says, which helps people make sense of their feelings and decide on practical next steps. Cognitive behavioural techniques identify unhelpful thinking and test small changes in behaviour, useful for anger that follows automatic thoughts or workplace stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose methods that match the person's goals and preferences, and she may adapt the balance of listening, trauma-focused ideas and cognitive tools over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It can also allow people to try counselling from a familiar setting while exploring which practical strategies help manage anger and reactivity.
